I’ve probably mentioned in the past but If we get to 16 teams, it would be better if it was split into 2 mini leagues of 8 teams, that way you can have pro-rel between the worse teams and the best teams in both leagues whilst making the final series genuine for the best teams in the competition...

We know coaches like players some have got large egos, but it doesn't look like Stajcic takes losing too well.

Good luck to Arnie, it’s good he’s trying to test himself as he should because we want our best coaches to be successful overseas.

Melb Victory’s finals experience came to the fore tonight, they were the better team tonight and even with the undefeated streak WSW looked like dears in the headlights and overall it was too bright for them as I don’t think they played as well as they usually did. I think Victory will give...

Cracking game of football, both teams are playing well. Daniel Arzani is playing well especially, causing WSW’s defence all sorts of problems. WSW are not playing that badly, but the likes of Milanovic have been quiet so he needs to step up.

I think the balance is fine especially where the aleague is in financially. Overall it’s the right direction, so I’m not sure why the skeptics are complaining about unless they want the league to go back to a retirement league lol.

What happened to Adelaide United’s fluid football, the fact they couldn’t take advantage of the midfield (4 vs 2) was baffling especially when they go back to their keeper only to kick it long. You can tell their performances have dropped based off on how they played tonight and the last...

I’ve haven’t had the chance to read the article but I will give it a read later, hopefully it’s just some short term pain.

No wonder JJ has resigned, 8.5 million loss is massive what happened to the FA to get to that stage?

Yep he comes across as a bit old school, less emphatic compared to coaches who would put their arms around their players.

JJ has been our best CEO we probably had in a long time, something must be up to resign which is coming into the middle of the year? Hopefully the FA get the new appointment right because it’s an important role within the sport.

Something emotional attachment can go along way to towards convincing someone to join your team if they talk to you face to face to know how the player is feeling.

It looks like an interesting appointment, coaching experience in the Netherlands, Belgium, Israel and in turkey whilst being the assistant with the Greek national team so he doesn’t lack in experience. The Roar need to get it right, it’s too big of a market for them to be towards the bottom of...

Need bigger pathways so the clubs can trust the coaching talent outside of the aleague. The Championship should help, I’m intrigued whether if they are coaches on that level that never has been given the chance to coach in the aleague due to the lack of profile compared to former aleague players?

Popa should talk to him directly, get to know how he feels because as mentioned by others but maybe he’s ego and pride has been bruised like any sporting athlete would be in that situation, so a face to face conversation might be worth exploring and maybe he would feel less alienated by the...

My tips for next week, Western United to beat Adelaide probably in normal time and WSW to beat Melbourne Victory in extra time. Should be a great finals series.

Sydney should not be in this situation given the quality in there squad but what let them down was not solving their defensive deficiencies, Melb city carved them apart. Sydney will need to do a squad rebuild especially with a better defensive and probably need a new goal keeper. Meanwhile WSW...

It’s the reality we in unfortunately.

Not one saying the league is park football now just because the a-league needs more financial control it doesn't mean it will become park football standards. Im not trying to defend the APL here, they have financially mismanaged the league and they feel they probably made some big mistakes...

Interesting! 🤨
