Melbourne Victory 1 defeated Perth Glory 0 at AAMI Park
Bozza: If I was Melbourne Victory I would offer Marco Rojas a contract right now, because even if he does go overseas, they have the option to recoup some money on him. It's very, very difficult to predict when is the right time for yourself to go overseas. Chances are few and far between and you've got to make sure you make the right decision for yourself.
Moore: We're only eight games into the season. Rojas has certainly started off really, really well, but let's not forget the first three games the Victory struggled a little bit. But he certainly looks a completely different player to what we saw last year. I'd like to see players getting 50-60 games under their belt in the A-League first. We never had this when we were coming through. Establish yourself here, be one of the better players in your team, and then the opportunities will come for you overseas.

Central Coast Mariners 2 defeated Adelaide United 1 at Bluetongue Stadium
Moore: Central Coast are so solid. They're the most consistent team - the difference between their good and bad performances isn't that big. There's a lot of other teams within the league I think where the difference between a good and bad performance is so big. Whereas Central Coast Mariners are just very, very structured, they're well organised. They've got other players that have come in - Zac Anderson's come in and played and coach Graham Arnold has shown him a little bit of loyalty in keeping him in the side. They just look like a well-drilled unit and look like getting results.
Bozza: The Mariners' consistency level is fantastic. They can score goals from pretty much anywhere. I was here when Graham Arnold got some frightful stick for the Olyroos' performance in the Olympic Games. I think people should bear that in the back of the mind how much character he's shown to come back and do what he's done in the A-League, and he's shown the benefit of going through that tough period.

Brisbane Roar 1 defeated Newcastle Jets 0 at Suncorp Stadium
Moore: The result was really important for the Roar. I think they've struggled a little bit this season. They just haven't had the same rhythm they've had for the last two years. Okay, there's been a few changes and that sort of stuff, but it was very important to go and get that result Saturday night.
Bozza: I really do dislike talking about referees all the time. The time has come for full-time referees. It's happening too often at the moment. There's another wonderful opportunity for the Match Review Committee to please rescind a red card. They have a chance to give justice for everyone, and everyone who watched that is asking the same question, whether they're football supporters or not: why was Thomas Broich sent off? You can't answer it. This is the integrity of the game that's a stake. The A-League is going so well. Crowds are up; television ratings are up; the football quality has never been better. We're talking about people's futures here. They've got to get this right. It's the reason we've got the Match Review Committee in place, to make sure that we put things right that happened on the weekend.

Wellington Phoenix 1 defeated Western Sydney Wanderers 0 at Westpac Stadium
Bozza: The goal was a terrible moment for Wanderers 'keeper Ante Covic. He's been absolutely outstanding for West Sydney this season. It can happen to anyone - he just basically slipped. That's all you can say. I don't know if he maybe initially took his eye off the ball and thought it was going to go to a spot. It's very windy over there in the Cake Tin - as everyone calls it - at Westpac Stadium. Maybe he just had a thought of where he was going to throw it next; as a goalkeeper you have to watch the ball come right into your hands. To be fair, he made a lot of good saves afterwards, and that takes a lot of character because when that happens you just want the ground to open up.
Moore: I think Wanderers had a great claim for a penalty. If I was the referee I would have given it - I thought it was a penalty. He's turned his back and as the defender you should always look at the ball.
Bozza: I thought it was a penalty too. Once you bring your arm up to shoulder height you're impeding a ball going across which could be a goal anyway. What's his arm doing up there?

Sydney FC 0 drew with Melbourne Heart 0 at Allianz Stadium
Bozza: You had to feel a little bit for Sydney. You just had that feeling they just needed to get that bit of a lucky break and they would have gone on to win the game comfortably. Melbourne Heart held their own, but that confidence factor is obviously lacking.
Moore: Heart coach John Aloisi's job is not to go and entertain - he's the away team. He set up his team to deny with some organised defence and look to try and get things on the break. They had a couple of chances, but I think Sydney FC certainly worked a lot harder on Sunday. Sydney winger Joel Chianese had a couple of half-chances and just lacked that real belief. Sometimes you've really just got to throw your body in and be desperate to score. If Sydney could have done that and gone a goal ahead it would have been a great result for them. But this will be a great boost for the whole team - to keep a clean sheet - and more importantly they seemed to have plenty of energy in the tank. They went for a full 90 minutes which is a big difference to what I've seen in recent weeks from Sydney FC.
