Player ratings30 Jul 2029
Mateo Bačić scores twice — 9.03
Two goals and a mark of 9.03 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Only the photograph left for Owen Hampson
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Owen Hampson will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Sibenik the goodbyes have quietly begun.
