A-League Mens 24/25 - Round 24

What a game. NT embarrassing themselves though. I think pride round is marketing BS and stupid but how petulant not supporting a team because of it. The players didn’t chose it. If they are about no politics in sport I look forward to them no burning their Palestine banners or not going to the Anzac round (or Australia Day one for that)

Needs to be more of this.

Boycott the whole round.

You have spent the last year defending fans at a football match (in Australia no less) chanting ‘for the home, ready’ but you’re an advocate for no politics in sport? Can you not for a millisecond just recognise the utter hypocrisy here.

I agree we should not have politics in sport. But that’s everything, not just the ones you like or don’t like.

Form my recollection you have said no politics in sport in the past, but if you are saying just the right ones (in your view) then fair enough at least you admit it.

But you have probably been watching Aussie rules all your life, with teams like St Kilda who've won it once in over 150 years.

Yes and no, AFL has NEVER had a competition that even pretends to be about sporting merit. its always been about prime time TV and before TV, attendances and sponsorship money ... Its like WWE, nobody gives a shit who wins or loses in the long run, as long as they see a bit of blood and get pissed...

A league needs $$$$ Perth and Brisbane need new managers so they can be competitive

Perth have been a shit show all season. I reckon Brisbane isn't as black and white. Don't get me wrong, they have been bad, however defensively they are not that far behind the rest. With a game in hand, they have conceded 5 less goals than Adelaide. The Roar's problems are all in attack (or lack there of). A bit of competence/confidence in the front third and they would be challenging Adelaide and SFC for that 6th spot right now.

Why can't they sack the coach?

They can, but it's expensive to sack a coach with a contract.
 
How long before they replace Bris Roar with Sth Melb>? Dead end football state that wont have any Olympic football matches in Brisbane except maybe the final game as they have moved group games up north to Caines and Townsville like wtf?
 
I'm not gonna say much about the behaviour of the NT on Saturday, but I will say that i thought the NT was better without them.
