City, the club he has graced for five years, are also keen to re-sign the 30-year-old predator - leaving Maclaren with plenty to ponder as his current contract nears expiration. Considered by many unfortunate to miss out on selection for this month’s Asian Cup, the omission of the 32-cap Socceroo has done little to stifle enquiries over his willingness to try his hand abroad again after previous spells with Hibernian in Scotland and Darmstadt in Germany. With his contract up in June, Maclaren is free to talk to interested parties, both home and abroad, as he mulls the next crucial career step. The scorer of 151 A-League goals - and counting - since bursting into the scene with Perth Glory and then Brisbane - Maclaren has been linked with J2 League side Fagiano Okayama – the former home of Australian pair Mitch Duke and Stefan Mauk in Japan’s second tier - and at least three J1 outfits are thought to be in the mix. It will ultimately come down to Maclaren’s preference to potentially uproot his family for another overseas odyssey or remain in Australia, where he has already surpassed previous A-League goal cunt Besart Berisha and chase down the all-time professional record of 240 goals from 447 matches set by Damian Mori across spells in both the NSL and A-League. At the age of 30, he’s within striking distance of the former Socceroo, assuming he stays injury free in the five or so seasons he might have left at the top domestic level. The contracts on offer range from two to four years - leaving Maclaren, who has articulated his desire to eclipse Mori’s mark - spoiled for choice. He is a five time A-League Golden Boot winner - top scorer in the A-League in the 2016–17 (19 goals), 2019–20 (22 goals), 2020–21 (25 goals) and 2021–22 (15 goals), 2022–23 (24 goals). His tally so far this season is seven in 11 appearances for fourth placed City.

This team, man.

A young promising defender potentially linked with Melbourne City? I'm on my knees, Petrillo.

I'm not up on it, what did I miss?

Tickets copped, let’s do em.

South, the pricks.

I'm ngl, I'm still buzzing off this win.

3. Arslan 2. Maclaren 1. Natel

Story was worth every penny of the fee we paid.

Three points please, cheers fellas.

3. Behich 2. Good 1. Souprayen

Up the city

Because if we were going to acknowledge every player who came through the club at one point, he’d be on it.

Gauci too.

Get this notification the day before the derby? It’s kismet.

If he’s on for a hat trick, I’ll unfortunately be grabbing the closest bucket I can find

3. Arslan 2. Good (delighted to see him do some good defending for the first time this season) 1. Jakolis

Brain says we're getting rolled over. Heart says that Arslan scores the winner in the 94th minute and shushes the north end.

1) He absolutely did not fail in Scotland. In all comps over 2022/2023 he played 3000+ minutes, and Dundee fans were gutted to see him leave - so not sure what measure you've marked his season as a fail? Did you actually watch him play? 2) Petrillo to go?! People love to shit on him when things are going poorly, but not give him any credit for building our double winning squad, and building the only squad in the history of the A League to win three consecutive premiers plates. We've been in the last four grand finals ffs. No one is at the top forever.

Took eight games

Fuck the Bangkok

Up the Bangkok

Massive game for the boys today. Up the City!!!
