Post-game, Postecoglou stated: Yeah, but he missed a lot of football and he's only just [come back]. We've got a few like that who are just getting their rhythm back.

Yeah, but good for him. It was a really good goal for him because it was as much about his endeavor as his quality in just getting into those areas. These are the kind of things we talk about constantly.

We're going to get more reward for our good play and our hard work if those players show that endeavor to get in the right areas and score goals. Madders is one who has to be more advanced.

We know he has the quality to score from just about anywhere. It was a really good goal. He attacked that area where we need players to attack. It was a great ball from Pape too. I'm really pleased with our goals. It's stuff we work on and it's great for those individuals today that they all contributed something."
