"Somewhere along the line, Australian football become built on a model based on small communities, adamant that, even after the financial collapse of their own competition, the future of football down under lay in closed migrant groups.
Thankfully, they have been proven to be wrong, utterly wrong and completely wrong."

I think the City v Macarthur crowd will be ok, it will be a warm night in Melb and i'd be surprised if 5k didnt turn up at least. Who gets the bigger crowd will be marginal. The difference will be one venue will be a sea of empty green seats whilst the other will be close to full.
As for the game, due to the crowd i think Preston will be difficult to beat at home all season. Specifically this Friday a lot will depend on the status of Bell, Markovski and Guy...thats a dangerous frontline, if those 3 dont come up we will have a better chance as we would only need to contain Brooks for the most part.
Will be interesting to see if we can pack out the away end again like last year.
last night killed off any enthusiasm for Fridays match..... we'll be lucky to bring 50 people now (it will only be the event goers and wanna be hooligans that rock up to this one now) Hope Preston tears us a new one ... I predict 4-0 Preston ...... Fuck football right off.... Im getting into netball or something..... donkeys.

I can't recall APIA being 10th on the ladder for sometime despite just R4, they are leaking goals terribly, Franco fix this pronto !
BC's Choi been around along time pulls off a late winner.
Spirit's 4 games is a great start thats for sure.
