A big part of that is the Australian content quotas. 55% of content broadcast between 6am and midnight must be must be Australian made. Reality TV is incredibly cheap to produce when compared to traditional scripted TV (eg: dramas, sitcoms, soaps, etc). Don't need to pay proper actors. Don't...

Boring. Where's the excitement in that? Picture this. MV win. Auckland draw. Next week CCM is up 0-2 at HT. Jets scrape back 2 in the 2nd half, then score the winner in extra time. Jets lift premiership plate in front of home fans at an F3 derby. That would be way more memorable.

If Jest win and Auckland draw or lose, Jets are premiers. If Jets draw and Auckland lose, Jets are premiers. If Jets lose and Auckland win, Auckland go top (by GD). SFC and Adelaide will be in finals. One of MV, MC and Mac will miss out on finals. 3rd through 6th can still shuffle around a lot...

The Younis suspension is a big loss for tonight. Temp will be about 16° at kick-off. That combined with both clubs in contention for 6th, should make for a high tempo game. Wouldn't be surprised if we see a draw tonight.

Tuesday 7 Apr 2026 Melbourne City FC vs Central Coast Mariners 🗓️ Tuesday 7 Apr 2026 ⚽ 19:00 (Eastcoast time) 🏟️ AAMI Park 📺 Paramount+ Bumping thread as a reminder of the game tonight. On paper it should be a good contest. The winning team will jump to 6th.

For whatever reason, it definitely seems like both teams are setup for each other this season. 3 games, 15 goals total. Every game was decided by a single goal. Could be very interesting if they end up meeting in the finals.

I guess from Patty's point of view, the worst that can happen is he doesn't get offered a full contract. Currently he's only contracted till the end of the season and finals (if they make finals).

Is Volpato still eligible for Australia?

At the end of the day, if the points start flowing the fans won't care where the coach has come from. They probably will be probably critical of him though. Probably more so than if he were coming from somewhere else. I'd say this is all about money. If WSW offered him more, it'd be hard for an...

I'd say it's not a black and white situation either. No proper domestic transfer/loans system means it's easier for players to switch clubs when their contract is up. Salary cap means short contracts without auto-extension clauses. No second division means young players are lacking that...

Have to disagree. As a fan, I could not care less which club a player was at previously. If they are at my club they have my support. As soon as results start flowing, fans forget the past and embrace the now. Look at Mata. MV fans where very critical when he was signed. Now he is the shining...
