Looks like City will run away with it but as I said earlier today about transfers that team is absolutely stacked and I would expect a few players to leave for overseas opportunities and then the rest to go in the near future, especially if the Dub doesn't go fully pro (though I think City are fully pro? Or maybe they just have a lot of players on pro contracts).
Hopefully Sydney FC win a game sooner or later especially given the strength of their playing list, but they have a tough run in their next two games after the bye with back-to-back road games against Melbourne Victory at Home of the Matildas and Perth Glory at Sam Kerr Football Centre. I'd say if Sydney FC continue their winless run then Ante Juric will no doubt be getting his marching orders come season's end, possibly earlier.

100%. The problem with the Dub isn't the quality, since it actually ranks relatively highly compared to other leagues in the world (I think it's like 10th or 15th?). The problem is the lack of professionalism.Players demand the A-League Women go full-time pro next season, release vision with 21 recommendations
Australia's footballers have taken matters into their own hands with a proposal for the future of the A-League Women.
The players' demands for the A-League Women is the rallying cry and ultimatum the game needs. But can it happen?
Analysis: The Professional Footballers Australia have proposed a new vision for the A-League Women. Can it happen?
I'll be honest, looks wildly unrealistic but I wish them well
Absolutely should be done but, of course, the problem is who will fund it.
It’s not unrealistic at all, it just needs people with vision to implement a strategy to accomplish it.
I'd like to believe it, they claim 11 million in extra revenue would pay for itself (or 1 mil per club)
I presume you are referring to the chaotic situation in the APL at the time, if so then nothing has changed re the poor financial situation of the A League administration.
I don’t think the establishment of a separate women’s game administration would rely solely on ticket revenue, a much broader vision would see revenue from a myriad of streams.
Yeah some of the points will cost more than others. I would like the pfa to have players involved with marketing more than they are and try free marketing. I think a lot of our corporate marketing might cost more than what is sunk into it.
From what I’ve read the idea is to have the players involved in marketing similar to what happens with the Matildas.
