Not sure many players you have who are new from last season? I only really liked about 3 of them, the left back being one of them and a midfielder.

South Melbourne have brought in five new players from OFC Pro League and A-League Men sides in addition to bringing Bul Juach back to NPL Victoria after his stint in the Canadian Premier League and promoting Skapoulas to the senior playing list during the mid-season transfer window, but twelve players have been culled and both Nahuel Bonada and Ilia Shalamanov-Trenkov were also loaned out to Preston Lions and Altona Magic respectively.

Thanks.
 
Preston and S United knocking out the top team on the AL ladder, Jets, and CCM, is also an awful performance from AL clubs.

Despite only 2 weeks into the new season on the training track, for 4 AL clubs to lose to only part-time, semi-pro clubs, is abysmal!

Jets were on top, then appeared to run out of gas.

I'm not sure CCM were ever on top?

South M outplayed AU too.

Fairly niche topic this, but looks like they’re going to attempt to enforce some kind of segregation of wanderers and victory fans at the Marconi club this weekend. Will be interesting to see how it’s done. Will they put up temporary fencing, will victory fans be able to roam around the ground, have access to the canteen (right under where the RBB have been allocated) or the social club pre/post game. I can’t remember seeing “gate 2” (basically just a place where the perimeter fencing can be opened and closed to the street) being used at all in the modern era. It’s always been everyone just enter through the main gate under the giant soccer ball.

Can’t imagine there would be a huge travelling contingent from Melbourne for this game, but I’m sure there will be some. Such an interesting cross over or eras having Melbourne victory fans visit the Marconi club

They haven't used that north east corner in literally decades.

FFS, if he goes to germany his mind will be blwon when they bring the beer in tanks on their backs into the cage for you and just squeeze the trigger and fill you up

Hearing not many travelling from all the reports i've had from some fellow members i know over the weekend since the announcement (re flights very very expensive on short notice) most either are involved in their catch up rescheduled fixtures this week or attending Dockerty Cup final at Lakeside Stadium on Saturday.

can see here how a majority of vic sides are playing vic sides and nsw sides playing nsw sides. Very lucky/unlucky depending on how you look at it.

Will be interesting to see which venues a few of these ties are played at.

There was a suggestion from someone a few weeks back that sd were interested in hosting a double header with APIA. Will be interesting to see if they peruse that

If Brisbane and MacArthur win where will the match be?
