Let's be honest here, we overachieved at both World Cups - women's and men's.

It never did really, the only reason that West Adelaide lasted for 21 years was because it was backed by the greek community.

I had closer to 8-9k. Top tier of middle was looking pretty busy.

Didn't they just invest in the stadium up there?

Well we've got one bloke who played two games for Crewe in League One, and another that played Non-League...

I have to disagree. GC is definitely an option for the future, but we need to tap into football reservoirs first. GC showed that despite a stadium and setup, from DAY ONE there was just no support from a grassroots level. This is because GC population is more transient. That's why sports...

Hey, it was a boiling hot day - we were playing the first teammers... give a man a chance to implement his vision. Fyi, we played a 4-2-3-1 for anyone whose interested.

First intra-club friendly and we lost 3-0! On top of this, I let our keeper take a pen and it was saved, hahahaha. Baptism of fire!

Was at Perth v Sydney on the weekend. It definitely looked like more than 6889, I'd post some pics but its throwing up a size warning.

Perth 2 would be a terrible idea. The only reason that the Glory still get any semblance of crowds is due to the parochial support of the rusted ons with a couple thousand fairweathers. Take away the fair weathers with a new club and you risk Glory simply folding altogether.

A lot to like from the Glory against Sydney in that first 30 minutes. Provided Tass is back, this could be an interesting game against the Wanderers.

To be fair CBR is no cheaper. I have family there, and there's limited direct flights there.

Standard Sail. One game he'll play like a man possessed and then three games he'll play like he's possessed by Stephen Hawking.

Elder has to be the worst ref in the comp. Two tackles from behind let off.

This is my take. It was a short-sighted position that with some manouevering, we could have gotten around. We were warned, and we've paid by having just one team in the continental top flight.

We didn't miss out from COVID. Glory & Sydney went to Qatar for that one in 2020. We missed out in 2021 because they "wanted to prioritise the finals series" and pulled out. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-04/a-league-teams-withdrawn-from-asian-champions-league/100191648

Market Reach and Exposure are just an example of some of the reasons why they'll hold position. With RB expanding into new markets in football, it's all about eyeballs mate. I can't see CFG pulling the plug any time soon.

Smoke signals?

Season Two wasn't as good as the first, but the third season is quite entertaining. The entire Zava arc is hilarious. Little things like the avocado etc. Season Two of Squid Games was rushed and would have benefited from an extended second season rather than splitting one season over two...
