The Australian Championship 🇦🇺🏆

[Zelen Fc]

Preston don’t deserve to qualify for the quarter finals 4 draws is abysmal

 

[Dinamo]

Preston really went for the 3 points and Avondale butchered multiple counters.

This has been the best group and it all comes down to tomorrow. Spirit has to win and Canberra Croatia needs a miracle.

Canberra have to win by 5-6 goals so forget it. I do think they can get a result and Preston to sneak through.

Pratežina hitting the post at the end versus Spirit and playing too conservatively last week vs Preston is going to end up costing Canberra Croatia.

For non-VIC people, considering the hype and investment around Preston they have been underwhelming.

 

[SMFC1959]

Preston can still qualify with most result scenarios apart from a Spirit win.

Avondale would feel disappointed they didn’t win that but Preston put up a fight to equalise.

Surprising to see the likes of Fornaroli and Abdallah be so wasteful in the box as well.

I think all Preston home matches ended in draws.

Marconi choking. If Wolves score three more goals they progress on goal difference I think. The way they're playing it's a distinct possibility.

Fornaroli always looking for it on a plate throwing arms up everytime it goes wrong, if the forwards passed a bit more rather than going for glory they might have scored a few, thought Preston were a bit unlucky though in the end

Also noticed the refs are more reluctant to give Fornaroli free kicks when he backs into defenders compared to A league.

Not exactly a bad thing he spends more time playing for the free than the ball.

Avondale should have won that by 5 goals. Want no part of Ryan Scott next week, can potentially beat us on his own, crazy saves.

If we take ourselves and this comp as seriously as we claim then we have to beat whatever team comes our way!
In this situation atleast we are guaranteed an armosphere suited to the occasion.
No easy games here on out thats for sure! We could potentially see Preston, Bergers, Avondale in order, so that we can lift it ....
The irony being we had to go national stage to see an all NPL VIC finals series! Lol

 

[Hellenic_blue&white]

And here we were worried that the games not being played at same time in final round would be a problem!

 

[est47]

When i saw only 3 on the bench today I thought oh God here we go.

Avondale probably should have buried us as the start of the half but proud of the team for getting stuck in and getting a result

Winslow please build a multi story car park so I dont have to park at genis Steel next time

 

[Dinamo]

Wollongong up 4-0 with 15 minutes to go. Getting close to pulling off the miracle.

 

[HappyGuus]

Holy shit they only need 1 more the Wolves!

I agree

If we want to win this Australian Championship, we need to beat everyone that’s in front of us.

Incredible stuff! Marconi defending like a bunch of clowns.

 

[erogenouszone]

Marconi players clocked off. Looks like they've heard about the paycut next season.
