Inchcolm Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Can some one please explain in simple speech how the league works, there seems to be a winner when the league is completed. Then there is a competition between the top teams. Who is the League winners? Which title is the most prestigious? Which teams qualify for the Asian cup?

After the 27 game regular season the top team wins the premiership. The top 2 teams from the regular season qualify for the asian champions league. Then the top 6 from the regular season compete in a knockout competition (the finals) to determine who the champion is. This is more prestigious than winning the premiership. The champion receives the third asian champions league qualification. If the champion finished in the top 2, then the third placed team from the regular season gets it.

jw1739 Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 IMO the objective has to been to win every trophy on offer. Given that we finished third last season - a distant third - the passmark has to be a top two finish, which means that we would still go into the ACL as did Newcastle last season. IMO this is very much a crossroads season for us. It's just not acceptable for us to continue to live in the shadow of Victory and be thought of as some sort of feeder club for the CFG heavyweights. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belaguttman Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 It's also important because after this season there'll also be another Melbourne team that 'isn't Victory'. If we aren't successful, and repeatedly successful, we'll have no point of differentiation at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXCiTyZeNXx Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) The objective is to finish 1st, win the title with means we will be in ACL. Enough is enough. We have had phenomenal teams for the last three seasons and we won nothing but a shitty FFA cup. If Wazza does not at least finish 1st, hes out Edited July 19, 2018 by xXCiTyZeNXx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citymad Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 I think we need to have less player turnover to build a squad over two seasons. Too many times we have high hopes that are dashed when a player fails to live up to the hype. they get moved on and we have a clan out and hope for a better year. maybe its the a league but it is IMO the way we build a winning team.

Yes it is important that everybody has a good time. In my opinion 2 things are important in football. 1. The fans pay hard earned money to watch their team. Therefore it is up to the team to entertain them. 2. The second, winning is important. My coach always used the phrase "Second is the first loser." Most supporters want to be entertained and want to win. But some supporters prioritise winning at all costs and others are are content when the team draw or lose as long as they have been entertained and their team gave 100% Me I am greedy, I want both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belaguttman Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 A winning team culture - E We didn't even win half our games, we were more resilient and able to come from behind, but rarely able to go on with it. This is still a team with no determination to win Entertaining football - F Zzzzzzzzz.... Building for the future - E Arzani - gone Delbridge has flourished, Atkinson has nailed a regular start without flourishing McGree and Wales - treading water Najjarine, Najjar, Pieris, Metcalfe have been used sparingly or not at all Experienced players released, recruiting has been poor Impact on women's team and youth teams - E Montemurro gone Palatsides gone Trani gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommykins Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Blaming Joyce for Trani leaving before he got here seems a bit rough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
