None of the usual suspects have posted a thread this week, so I guess I will.
Thursday: Central Coast Mariners have beaten Perth Glory 2-0.
Friday: Western Sydney Wanderers vs Brisbane Roar @ Spotless Stadium 7.50pm
Saturday: Melbourne Victory vs Newcastle Jets @ AAMI Park 5.35pm
Sydney FC vs Adelaide United @ Sydney Football Stadium 7.50pm
Sunday: Melbourne City vs Wellington Phoenix @ AAMI Park 5pm

Good effort from the Mariners tonight. It's the first time in forever that they've kept a clean sheet, and for now at least they're actually in the top 6! They're making some massive strides under Okon, so well done to them.
The Wanderers haven't had a great start to the season, but they've had some bad luck and I think the Roar are eminently beatable. I'll have the Wanderers 2-1.
Victory are back to AAMI Park for the first time this A-League season, which is a win for those of us that hate football at Docklands. The Jets are somewhat of a bogey team, and having 2 weeks off could be rough. But I think the Victory just have too much firepower for the Jets. 3-1 to Victory.
Sydney have been nothing short of awesome so far this season, and are clearly the team to beat. Adelaide haven't been anywhere near as bad as their record suggests, but the fact this game is in Sydney means I have to lean towards the smurfs. 4-2 Sydney.
First time this season that there's been 2 games in Melbourne, but I think 5pm Sunday could result in the empty seats being the talking point again this week. As with the Victory, the Nix having a 2 week break in the middle of the season isn't ideal, and having just experienced an earthquake it's questionable how they'll bounce back. But I think they will, and I'm tipping an upset 2-2 draw this week.
