Ninth-placed Melbourne Heart could move into the top six with a win against Brisbane Roar this afternoon. We’ll have live scores from 4.00pm AEDT.
John Aloisi’s team picked up their fourth win of the season with a 2-1 win over Newcastle on Wednesday, and they get the chance to make it consecutive wins for the first time this season and move back into contention.
They won’t have it easy though, coming up against a Brisbane Roar side who have won their last two matches, moved into the top six and under Mike Mulvey begun to show some of the form that has seen them win the last two A-League championships.
Brisbane hitman Besart Berisha got on the scoresheet in the 2-1 win over Wellington Phoenix and German playmaker Thomas Broich was instrumental in both of the Roar’s goals.
The Heart are beginning to get some form of stability, with the return of Simon Colosimo and Patrick Gerhart in the centre of defence.
Due to injuries, suspensions and international unavailability Aloisi has been unable to field a consistent lineup all season and it has reflected in a string of disjointed performances.
With less than half of the A-League season, the Heart must begin to string performances together soon and it needs to begin this afternoon.
But Brisbane have grown in confidence over the festive period and they should be good enough to get at least a draw from AAMI Park here.

Holy Toledo, that was some performance from the Ref today
At Old Trafford, decisions go with the home team but today there was plenty of dodginess for the home side. We’ll suck it up this time. Can’t understand Roar. Had all the play in the first half and leaked 3 goals? But at least they were quality goals from the only team in Melbourne

I like these substitutions by roar. Jurman has done nothing except suck. Paartulu hasn’t been effective either.
And it’s 3-2!!! Can it happen??? Can Brisbane pull off the great escape???

Commentators trying to say Williams’ challenge was a yellow at best. Slid in studs up, got the player. Sorry Robbie, but that’s a red card every day of the week.

I dunno … Vukovic dropping the ball to Ryall whilst we were still celebrating must go down amongst the most frustrating emotions I have ever experienced.

Would really like the A-league to address the referee’s. Every week there’s a blatant mistake and it’s getting pretty frustrating as a fan.

Brisbane were well on top early with the first goal coming against the run of play. The Second goal completely changed the game, thanks to yet another inept A-League official. While the standard of play across the league has significantly increased over the past 8 years, the officiating is deplorable and holding back the league.

After watching victory vs Wellington last night i have to say all the calls went Victory’s way playing in Melbourne has become very hard for visiting teams due to refs. Disapointed as Roar had just got on a roll perhaps next week hey

I worry about the standard of refs in the country its a weekly occurance.
Have brisbane been in the game at all ??

Brisbane was murdering them 1st 15 mins, then coughed up a soft goal because Jurman is an idiot who doesn’t understand about defensive shape. Then Roar players dropped their heads. That about sums it up, except to say the linesman got it horribly, horribly wrong for Tadic’s goal. A good 1.5 metres offside.

the decision totally ruined the first half and maybe the game ( if we see the bus parked). Even the noise from the Heart fans has died down since the second goal.

Brisbane in a rut. No one attacking the space, sitting around waiting for something to happen. It’s awful to watch!

And that’s what happens. But Tadic was offside by a country mile! A country mile!!!

Don’t know what Mulvey is doing with Berisha out wide.

Agree, he’s cost us more goals individually than the whole team has scored.

Williams goal against the run of play.

Matt Jurman sucked so far out of position by his own hopelessness that he left Williams with 5 acres of space, right in front of goal. God he sucks. Roar has to get rid of him!
