Mixed fortunes ... Goalkeepers Nathan Coe and Ante Covic were prominent in round nine. Source:News Limited
Welcome to the fickle life of a professional goalkeeper, where you're star one day and a villain the next. Just ask Sebastian Coe and Ante Covic.
The two shot-stoppers had vastly-contrasting fortunes in round nine of the A-League.
Victory's 28-year-old Coe won Fox Sports' Mark Bosnich's Save of the Week award for his stunning reflex effort to deny deadly Kiwi marksman Shane Smeltz, and help Melbourne claim a pivotal victory over Perth Glory.
"It was a crucial time in the game and you can see by Smeltz's reaction how good a save it was," Bosnich said.
"It was mircale timing and secured the three points for Melbourne Victory."

For Western Sydney's Covic, it was a moment he'd like to erase from the memory bank - but unfortunately for the 37-year-old- he'll probably see countless repeats of this week.
The A-League journeyman got his wires badly crossed as he attempted to collect Phoenix striker Jeremy Brockie's long ball, though the famed Wellington wind at the ground they call the 'Cake Tin' didn't help his cause.
The end result was a desperate wrong-footed dive, the ball in the back of the net, a red-faced Covic and the Wanderers going down 1-0.
"It can happen to anyone - he just basically slipped, Bozza explained.
"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."
But the former Manchester United stopper had plenty of praise for Covic despite his howler.
"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," he said.
