It was expected the way both teams played in the first half, after the delay and one team sitting on a bus for an hour.

Jackie Zender came off the bench in the second half and really sparked us.

Our team played one of its best halves of the season in the first half. For Wexler, that was one of the most focused and intense halves of soccer I've ever seen him play.

I expected a lot more from Phillip Island but we had problems from the first day,

The first half is over, that's how we see it. It's just one big, long game. Whichever team can react to the travel better is the team that is going to win.

It's one of those things where you know the team is better than the way we've played. We see it from time to time. Trouble is, our bad stretches last a little longer, which comes from us having a younger team. We haven't been able to figure out how to kick ourselves in the behind and bounce back faster.
