I seriously hope so.

You can also stream the official radio coverage from their apps (think grandstand will be doing it again) but tbh it's not a very easy way to follow the game. Mostly good if you have limited bandwidth

You just basing this on the timing, or do you have another source?

Looking like it's going to be a long season. Finally looking half decent and we immediately concede another goal.

Very informative.

Mmm, will be interesting to see. (A quick note that I'm pretty sure Canberra spent more than a 3rd of the cap, though not all of it.) Scott Munn and John Tsatsimas (WSW) were the club reps in the discussions; don't think that's a coincidence. Hopefully the increased salary cap should also help recruiting with visa players.

They'd be used to playing with each other which is a plus.

Big improvements for the w-league this season: http://www.w-league.com.au/article/new-era-for-professional-female-footballers-in-australia/f16st1wmt0kh1vizg7951zy12

Somewhat behind with the news this offseason, but this is sad news.

Here's the 2017-18 fixture. Key details: Six home games in Melbourne: Four double headers at AAMI (round 2, 3, 7 and 12) Two stand alone games at CB Smith Reserve (round 6 and 10) One away game in Melbourne: Victory host us at Epping (round 11) Seven games broadcast on Fox: The four home games at AAMI Three away matches against Perth (round 1), Brisbane (round 8) and WSW (round 9) Still a 14 round season with two byes. First game is Friday 27 October (away in Perth, broadcast 10pm our time), last game is Saturday 3 February (away in Newcastle, not broadcast), followed by semi finals the next weekend and the grand final the weekend afterwards.

Not sure, anyone know the strength of the Israeli shekel?

Seems weekend announcements are a thing now?

I think previous seasons were also boring, we just had more hope that we would eventually sign someone good and that carried us through. But we've traditionally been very slow to sign players.

Based on my experience with other fluffy items, wash it on gentle then tumble dry it with tennis balls. But it should have care instructions on the tag.

You reckon? Seems an anticlimactic way to retire even if we don't qualify. Surely he'd want one last season that people knew was the last and also that he knew was the last.

Having it outside wasn't the same.

They did the tribute shirts, seemed like they thought it was serious at the time. Still hope he goes come back well sooner rather than later.

We haven't. I thought the FFA would try and even out the fixture but it doesn't seem to concern them.

Glad to hear you're still following, albeit from your couch. Distance can be hard. I hope we see you back soon.

No worries, I guarantee it won't happen to us.

Too early for me to make the call one way or the other on whether this will be a good appointment or not, but some more optimistic possibilities: 1. He's good at developing players, which is important in a league with a limited pool of potential players to choose from (increases your options) 2. He has a clear mission from CFG to harden the squad up, which is something we've wanted to see for ages. I get why people are frustrated, but since I'm sure there will be ample time to be frustrated over the season ahead if he does turn out to be ineffective, I'm going keep an open mind for now and hope for the best.

Nice kit.

My thinking as well, especially it's a high profile topical event (more so than other events) so it's more 'newsworthy' and more likely to get coverage.

I thought the same. Also interesting that he would have been our highest paid player on $250,000.

It was more entertaining at least. Back on topic regarding the signing of Mooy, the HS just had an article about it http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/football/manchester-citys-first-piece-of-business-in-melbourne-is-looking-like-a-15m-winner/news-story/c2b79a15a66555d4dbb9923c67aaf6a1:
