A-League A-League Men Round 1 - Now With Pause and Rewind!

[meltiger]

Got a ground yet?

Yes
We do

Should be allowed to play City there too. No point taking home games against them to the city

Impressive first up performance by Victory, created a lot of chances and got rewarded with two good goals, defensively very sound too. Only one game I know but good signs.

 

[giggler99]

Sydney very poor tonight so far.

May have celebrated the Australia Cup win too much me think. Luke Bratton was a bit of a loose cannon tonight maybe he should concentrate on playing football instead of trying to be the phycological pest.

Nah nothing to do with that. We were just rubbish.

Mind wasn’t on the job, no plan.

As for the pest part the niggling frees the Vuck we’re giving away were more pest like.

I'm not expecting us to improve. Losing Goodwin, two of our 3 main defensive midfielders and the other (Isaias) on the decline each year. To achieve the same (Top 4) finishes as recent seasons, we probably need all of the following:

• Ibusuki, Popovic, Halloran to return to best form
• improvement from Irankunda (especially stamina), Bernardo (after injury, he was great when he came into the team initially)
• Javi and Kitto can't get injured
• Tunnicliffe turns out to be a gem
• Clough stays fit and realises his potential

Maybe Madanha, Yull or Musa Toure breakout, we'll see.

Ibusuki and Javi aside it certainly seemed positive against my checklist.

Though Mariners are clearly not the same team as last season, copped 2 players down in the first half, and some big calls went our way.

Welly is the only other A Leagues team I have fond feelings for, but I think it's obvious the Reds are the third biggest team in the league after The Smurfs and Vuck, and their original rivalry matches v Victory are usually good value, no matter where they are on the table.

Would love to see SA get another team, Adelaide is a proud and rich football state, they deserve to have a local derby (although happy Canberra is getting a men's team, and a 2nd team in NZ)

I only seem to watch Phoenix when they play my side, they've been a frustrating team to play against recently. Giving them a proper look now.

More in favour of a relegation system here but wont be disappointed when Canberra get in.

Glory 1-0 after 1 minute.

 

[Pacman82]

Nice hit Kosta, more of them this year plz!

 

[gaskin]

Classic Glory. Useless campaigners.

 

[Andonis1997]

I'll take a point in 30°C heat, well done Nix. Defence looked desperate but organised, which was great to see. Now to work on that final third...

The good news keeps rolling in:




Can we get new owners for Roar & 777 at MVFC be limited to 20% ownership?

 

[gaskin]

If they are using KordaMentha I wonder if they were waiting for Glory to be sold. They are who we used.

More likely to be a gofundme
