2026 Hahn Australia Cup

Brunswick juve v bulleen for a spot in the 32 will be a good one.

As for the dockerty cup it looks like a 3 horse race between Heidelberg, Preston and Avondale.
 
Fraser park 2-3 Sydney Olympic

Tell ya what, Olympic were lucky to get out of that, geez they’re shit. For the most part, especially in the first half you genuinely wouldn’t have known that the two clubs were separated by 2 divisions. Olympic look like an under 21s team and a fairly average one at that plus Ziggy Gordon who, to use my fathers favourite phrase “turns like the titanic”. Also not to feed the conspiracies, could just be consequential but Haliti is definitely still doing something..I don’t know what, but he’s always there on his phone up in the stands for every match I’ve seen them play. Hanlin if you’re reading this, please don’t sue

Anyway, entertaining game for the neutral, good crowd and a decent little atmosphere, worth getting down to. Good on both clubs for making it a bit of an event. I know it’s wishful thinking but imo something like this would be the perfect little boutique sized venue for olympic to start to rebuild from. Still a decent size but you don’t need a big crowd for it to fill up and have a decent atmosphere

Seems a similar size to something like hume city’s ground from what I can tell having never been to that one or oakleigh’s new grand stand

Olympic at Fraser.. no thanks.

Isn’t this your second game at Fraser in the past week or am I mixing you up with someone else? If it’s you, might have to get you a scarf. 😆

Not at Fraser specifically, but a boutique stadium like that.

And yes, not in the past week, I went to APIA v Marconi on the weekend, but I also went to the last Fraser park cup game as well, thought this would be an interesting one. I have a friend who’s son plays in the juniors there so I went with him

Yep, some teams get lucky whilst a bunch find themselves needing to play an extra game.

We had this happen 2 years ago with the dockerty cup, 3 teams made the semi and South were drawn against Heidelberg to play a "semi final qualifier"...i remember our president at the time going nuts on social media over it lol. We ended up beating heidelberg and winning the whole thing.

Sometimes they’ll do these “unlucky extra game” draws at the very beginning of the cup so the numbers even out by the time it gets to the business end. I’m not good enough at maths to know if that would have worked here but it probably would have been preferable imo

That's the easiest way to do it

The other way to do it, I reckon, would have been have your extra playoffs between the losers of the 4x quarter finals / round 7 fixtures IF South Melbourne made semis of the Dockerty Cup (or the 3 losers if one of the 4 losing quarter finalists were SMFC)
