On the other hand though, a lot of the ALW players need somewhere to go during the off season. If they can't get a good overseas contract or just don't want to go overseas, they need something local to keep up. I don't know details or anything (is there a cap on ALW players per team?), but I do...

Yeah it would have been nice! Thanks, yeah I'm non weight-bearing for 6 weeks so I doubt I'll be playing again this season even if we make it to the finals, and my futsal season just started too. I'll have to just watch more football while I can't play lol

I figured as much, but thought it worth checking!

Do we know if Sam will still play or is this just old info? I really wanted to go, but unfortunately I doubt I will be able to make it, between it being a weekday with my broken ankle using up my leave & making travel more difficult.

Cheers!

Ohhh okay, thank you!

Sorry to bother, but did you end up making one? I've tried having a look and can't find anything (beyond this coent in the search), but am not sure if that's just because I'm a bit shit at this 😅

I think that poor start really cost them. The external factors wouldn't have helped (pouring rain, quick turnover from the grand final), but they should have been more switched on to start. It was good to see Uchendu get some game time again though, shame she wasn't able to do much with it though.

Shiiiit. That was a bit of a defensive lapse there, not pouncing on the rebound to block it. City are showing they can bring it, but not quite making ends meet.

Oh man, what a missed opportunity with Stotty not making the back post run.

Two goals early on isn't great, but City have picked it up a bit which is good - and a goal as I was typing this is a great touch :)

Not ideal, but hopefully we can get it back. Damn that rain looks heavy though hey, coming back on in the second half is gonna suck.

Oh and the drummer guy is there, I forgot my brother met him before the grand final and learned he was going. Gotta admire the dedication.

Agreed. I'm glad it's streaming on 10 and actually has commentary. Looks nice and wet - my mother and her partner are there in person. I'm not jealous right now haha

I broke my ankle during my own game on Sunday which was devastating, but I suppose a small silver lining is that since I'm not at work I can at least watch this live on my TV at home.
