We dont have a single player that will be able to go with Brendan Aaronson. His season at Leeds has been very strong. Aaronson is arguably the USAs best player so not sure why he isnt listed.

What about them?

City with 3k last night. They will now have a decrease on last seasons attendance number and they hosted two derbies this season. Get them to the south east immediately. Go and pick up the temporary seats from Ironbark fields. Spray them Blue. Put them in place at Casey fields and play all...

How long do Brisbane put up with this stuff from Valkanis? They needed a Milligan type operator. A young coach. Not an old school guy like Valkanis. Milligan has been the best appointment any club could have made in a long time.

No they don't. They play maximum two home games a year at the G. If Melbourne city aren't interested in growing the game and having a full time presence in SE Melbourne, take the licence off them and give it to someone who will. Them being in Melbourne has been a complete failure.

I think push will come to shove for City. Rosich should be in their ears about moving out of AAMI. Its a shocking reflection on the league when they play there in front of 3k to 4k people

Feel like the league is a decent spot now, having had a really solid January from an attendance and on field action perspective. They ahve somewhat pulled back the sliding numbers. The Sydney derby is by far and away the marquee match of this league. Well done to all who attended, even if WSW...

Dont see any reason why they can't win the whole thing from here. if Mata pulls the strings like he has done recently they will all benefit

If he signs for two seasons they will cash in end of next season. hearing Eli Adams has genuine MLS interest

Not that they would sell them all, especially in one off season, but i'd imagine the Jets would get decent fees for quite a few of their players. Adams Dobson Rose (If Asia rumours correct) Natta Badolato (Needs another season at least in A-league after the injury)

I think Joeys nugget of information around there's nothing stopping a 3rd Melbourne team entering if someone has the fee for the licence, is an interesting one. Theres a few little murmurings around that there's interest in the licence and a rental agreement of Ironbark fields for training and...

Good points here. The gap is widening. Young players can get trapped in the A-league now. Need to go to Europe younger

Duke is 35. Teague is 23. He has come back twice from poor stints in Europe. I agree on your points. Its the easy way out. Ex Socceroos have said this publically in the past. The A-league is a safety net for players who know they can come back and make a decent wage instead of toughing it out...

Should there be concern around Teague running back to the A-league so quickly? He dominated the league last year and then didn;t fire a shot in Europe in this stint. Is the gap that big? It's a poor look both him and Arzani can't make an impact in europe, even in the lesser leagues over there.

Lets get serious. This isn't happening. Whilst i agree with you that there is an obsession about stadium sizes, even a 10k stadium for half of the teams in this league is too big. I think the stadium issue needs to be narrowed in on the clubs that are causing this conversation to happen in...

Reckon they have put a couple of thousand extra on that figure.

Sub 5k you would imagine for City vs AKL. North end was almost completely empty.

Thanks for that. This club has so much potential. I really hope someone comes in and steadies the ship. They really need to fight for that stadium ownership option. The council sound like absolute pricks, but hopefully something can be agreed to.

Do the Mariners ALM team train at their "centre of excellence" ??

Yep, thats similar to other clubs. City and Glory certainly. I think Glorys stadium hire is the highest in the league. When the Mariners made a push to own the stadium 10 years ago, it should have happened. There was a deal there to be done. The Mariners would be an incredible position if that...
