imagine if its Victory vs South Melbourne lol!

That would be an epic grand final !

Let’s get through Preston first before we worry about that.

Yes yes, think about Preston first, and then the semi etc But you’d imagine club administrators etc would be starting to think about potential logistics if it does happen. You wonder where they’d play it. Could clearly draw a crowd which warrants aami park, but then Hellas would essentially be giving up their home advantage. Aami or lakeside would be good imo. You’d imagine Preston would be having to consider similar options. Doubt BT Connor would be capable of hosting a national final as good as it is.

Obviously victory for either south or Preston would be massive, but Sydney fc would be a good one too tbh. Would imagine they’d still bring down a solid contingent of support etc no doubt they’re one of the best supported a league clubs

And what happens if it is a Lions v Sydney final?

Would be in qld I’d imagine. Im sure the fa are secretly hoping that doesn’t happen

 

[southmelb]

Not exactly rocket science here. Any combination of MV v Preston/South will be at AAMI. Sydney fc v Preston/South will be at lakeside (no chance bt connor).

Im not prepared to rule out the Lions either.

When do we start thinking about big Harry scoring the winner?

Then someone will have to tell Lions FC where to pick up their Cup.

 

[Beretta]

No, it is a worn out dilapidated arena.

at least they got a home, not rent out stadiums.

 

[Beretta]

@Beretta Well you got your extra time.

and flu running through the APIA camp.

no excuses now

 

[Beretta]

It feels weird seeing those celebrations from an A league team beating an npl team.

Cupset.

Don't worry Bonada will score the winner to knock us out of the cup loooong before that anyway.

We cant have ANYTHING nice at Hellas .... unless you want a vanity number plate.

I saw some of their 12 year old fans doing a choreographed dance routine against Raiders the other night. WTF was that all about?

Thanks @Monoethnic Social Club for big Harry

Too soon man, too soon.

Keep big H fit for us until we join the Aleague would ya?

 

[Monoethnic Social Club]

Looked onside the apia goal

Would like to see a better angle, mv might have had a touch of luck there

It was close but fair from another angle.. The penalty shout was a little more "borderline" from me though.

it will end up going to penalties as the refs won't be able to do anything to help apart from chalk off the Lions goals for bullshit ofside calls.

So, you posted that the offside was fair and now you are saying it is bullshit, make up your confused mind.

Trash or treasure, i know what i prefer!!

If they own it, why don't they update it to the 20th century, never mind the 21st.
