I reckon his 70 odd goals and 3 consecutive Golden Boots might have something to do with that don't you. In any case though, be it lack of game time or whatever, by end of season you can't say Stef's form warranted any more game time.

Brilliant.

Confirmed, gone.

They're setup too well defensively, i doubt Aloisi actually does any of the coaching tbh.

I'm still trying to understand how you could play the one team 4 times in the one season and do the same thing every time for the same result. Surely, if PK said anything to his team all week and before the game, wouldn't it be: 'whatever you do, just don't concede early'. Staggering that game went the same way.

If Barca are down in Australia playing an exhibition match against an A League all star rep team, then if the FFA had half a fkn brain, they'd surely invite the Barca team as guests of honour to the Grand Final. What a win/win that would be. Oh fk, it's not in Sydney though - my bad.

Lol yes you can.

Got ours as well. See you all there!

Nice to see the best 2 Melbourne teams battling it out 😂

Now that's a good break. My son's playing at 12:15. Going to be very lucky to get there by half time 😓

Corica is just an entitled whinger. Glad they kept him on.

Exactly this.

But it's even more than just fan engagement. It's the future of this league and what pathway/aspirations we give our youth? Seriously, how can you expect to generate that passion for a kid to play at our highest level when you can't make a simple final accessible to them???? No wonder most kids think it's a joke and instead believe in an unrealistic future that it would be easier to find somewhere in Europe to play.

Shout out to the A Leagues, football Australia or whatever stupid name they call themselves nowadays. It's been a remarkably challenging season and everyone acknowledges how tough it has been to get good attendances to games. I was extremely critical earlier in the year about being forced to play games on Tuesday nights, when most kids/players have training. Especially when they are the future of our game - they schedule games when they can't go. So what better idea than to schedule a home semi final at 2pm on a Sunday, when so many kids are still playing their actual league games at that time. But hey, who cares, maybe channel 10 just found a sweet 2 hr gap between their rugby wankfest tv reporting to conveniently slot in an a league final. Who knows, but could you do anything more to disconnect our junior footballers from our 'premier' national competition. Sorry if this has been raised elsewhere, but fuk they're doing their best to ruin football here.

How this guy can even be in contention is a complete mystery. For some reason there was some real love for him from the commentators this season. Maybe it's their way for trying to make Sydney FC still relevant. Just think about it. Giving a supposed 'creative' midfielder an award for a shit team that created virtually nothing all year just doesn't make sense to me.
