We're done for the year, absolutely toothless. We can't be intimidating any teams during this covid period.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Well we got a top two spot sawn up and our first appearance in the Asian Champions League.
I'm excited

 

[Aucklander]

After the start, not sure how Wellington loses 3-0. Early finals exit coming up.

They remind me of South in the SANFL, as in they show glimpses of great football & do enough to make finals but do no damage, plus aren’t hated by opposition fans. Hope that changes

Good comparison, and we're located so far away from the rest of the league too

Gonna be a little flat for SydneyFC lifting that premiers plate.

Well done to WU awesome win to consolidate their finals spot!

I think we may be out in straight sets.

Western seem to be the strongest.

I still think SydneyFC will get it together and win the Grand final only because I don't think there really is an out and out challenger in the top six!

WU will all depends on how Diamanti reacts to finals football. Could give it a shake but they will have to do it on a cramped schedule. tough!

City have been playing some good football lately and are best place to topple Sydney but.. That Heart stigma still lingers throughout that club. Will be interesting to see how they handle it if they do make the Grand Final!

Nix, Roar, Glory all pretty much making up the numbers. imo

I haven't watched the games, but after you sewed up the title against us, I think you went back into first gear.
Expecting Sydney to smash it from here.

Hey don’t get me wrong I’m hoping we do.

Would be great to win the toilet seat at BankWest. Hilarious actually.

Form ladder (imo)
1 wu
2 city
3 roar
4 sfc
5 nux
6 pgfc

In reality I think Perth is the only team really without a shot given their lack of persenel and form.
The rest have near full squad or form so they can get it together if they are able to.
City and Sfc still favourites given position and squad but games will be tight and exciting no doubt

Hard to judge city properly due to game time played, but seems about right. You could add the reds and/or newy in 4th or 5th if you were considering all teams imo

Would put the jets in first if they made the 6 haha.
I liked the way City played against SFC and although they shat the bed against Adelaide I think they played pretty well before Noone saw red (literally steaming up before he tackled him).

The news everyone has been waiting for.... VAR is back for the finals

I've really enjoyed it not being a thing since the restart. For the howlers that it solves, it introduces another layer of crapola decisions.

Someone is going to win/lose the Championship on the back of VAR.

As long as it's done right, there is no need to complain. I think the getting rid of the howlers and making sure it works is better than not having it. You can say the same thing with the nrl refs checking the bunker with pretty much every single try.

Someone already has.

 

[giggler99]

hehehe and what a glories night it was!

 

[Greenery]

VAR gives refs more opportunities to interfere with the game, total cancer.
How good is it to see goals cancelled for being 1cm overside, or brushing a players arm in the buildup!!

 

[Andonis1997]

I'll take it.

Sincerely, a fan of a club who feels victimised without another set of eyes on decisions.

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

Just use it properly and I won’t have an issue.
I’m ok with the idea of it being back so that teams won’t be bombing out of finals due to officiating howlers. Just as long as the technology doesn’t fail and it is applied properly, which have always been the issues for me.

 

[gaskin]

Use common sense and for those ridiculously tight offsides that have a bees dick of difference whether the attacker is on or off, just give the benefit of the doubt to the attacker as it has always been.
