The Australian Championship 🇦🇺🏆



At the Italian festival in Leichhardt. Good to see APIA taking the opportunity with a little booth selling merchandise and memberships, interestingly getting a lot more love than the Sydney fc stall 20 meters down the street. For what it’s worth have seen people wearing both APIA and Marconi kits around the festival, good sign re a return to relevance for these clubs imo

Looking at the table 1 win will likely get us top spot from here. Bit of a free hit at olympic next week. With Olympic now moving to 2nd that should ensure a big crowd next week.

My issue is the yellow fever we have currently with some players.. almost happy to play a leaner side in this one vs Olympic to help get them over the line!
 
what a goal from Croatia! Absolutely making all of our early predictions worth nothing

Reminder, Yoogali, Capital football, etc

Agree

They’ve got a very tough group to compete in. Great to have them in Australian Championship, but they are highlighting the gap between Tasmanian and mainland football quality.

They should've made some transfers for this, to be more competitive. But it is harder for them trying to get players to live there.

Probably shows why they need a dedicated team in a proper championship or A-League, might be able to attract and hold better players.

On the field at the half way point of the Group stage of the Championship it has been a resounding success. Well played!

Only one team with zero points, and the only team without a chance of a playoff spot.
Tow of the foundation teams (Sydney U58 and Preston} on the bottom of their group.
A shock leader in Group D - Bayswater - well done the team from WA
Only one Group - Group A, with the Foundation clubs in the top 2 spots.
Heaps of great goals.
Some new players making a name for themselves.

Well said....
Group C remains fully open though for Preston and the next round will be telling imo,

I’d say that’s confirmation. I’d have gone for the salsiccia personally over the bistecca but that’s just me

Fwiw have heard this observation re the speakers being too loud a couple of times this weekend, odd coz that’s never been the case previously. Dare say it’ll be a one off given plenty of people making their thoughts known

There was a famous excell sheet doing the rounds years ago showing the "family tree" of Italian clubs in Melbourne... it was like an episode of "Who do you think you are"....

I haven't seen that, but I've done something similar for all the clubs in SA. For anyone interested I'll post it here when I can.
 
I think the best outcome would be that FA to start up regions pathway allows a team like Yoogali as well as other teams like a Darwin Olympic to set up into the championship where there's no clear NPL to qualify from
