City need to have a big 2 games. Unfortunately for them I dont see them coming home with more then 2 points. Wsw are in a roll and are playing good football, and the smurfs are doing what the smurfs do best.

 

[Andonis1997]

We can win both matches. Whether we will is another question...

 

[norway blue]

Wanderers are well positioned. Glad we got the late goals and three

**** Melbourne is going to have a snap 5 day lockdown which means I won't be able to go the City v Smurfs game or its hopefully postponed.

We are s**t at the moment but I paid for my membership and I still would much rather watch the game live than on TV.

Interesting to see what happens with the Melbourne games. Considering smurfs are already in Melbourne it will likely be behind closed doors.

 

[gaskin]

Our next 2 games are supposed to be at home to Western United and Victory IIRC. Not much chance of that happening now I reckon.

 

[giggler99]

The Melbourne matches this week will be played behind closed door due to Victoria going in to five day lockdown.

Western United V Sydney FC Saturday 13th February Behind closed doors
Melbourne City V Sydney FC Tuesday 16th February Behind Closed Doors
Melbourne Victory V Wellington Phoenix Wednesday 17th February *Scheduled to be behind closed doors.
*note not sure if the Nix can travel and avoid quarantine, if they can't match will need to be postponed.

So still going ahead? Cool gives me something to watch.

As an aside all the best to you guys down south. Hope you kick its ass. Again.

I haven't been able to find any info on whether the Nix can travel down to Melbourne or not yet. If you find any info please post.

Last thing I heard was nsw hadn't closed the border. So if that is still that case it would go ahead.

 

[giggler99]

Another thing I didn't factor in City are scheduled to play the WSW in Sydney. If they fly out will they be except to return back to Melbourne without quarantine? Or what happens if NSW close the border within the next 24 hours?

 

[Greenery]

 

[giggler99]

General Giant can you confirm this?

 

[giggler99]

yeah I just posted this in the W-League thread everything is up in the air at the moment no word from any official A-League or FA account yet.

Really appreciate the sentimonies dude. FWIW if we (City) had to lose our first Grand Final, I am glad it was you to guys, who have been a class above everyone else in the past few years in the HAL.

Always got time for Luke Brattan too. Class Act.

Well.. then

 

[Colonial]

Only heard rumours that we arent

 

[giggler99]

I'm guessing NSW are about to close the border soon?

 

[giggler99]

Three matches currently postponed. Two A-League and one W-League match
