  1. Initial thoughts while i wait for the train:

     

    Worst part is both of their goals were very preventable. 

    Both of our goals were beautiful.

    Red card to Maclaren was strange?? What happened there?

    Glover is still the weakest link. 

    Beath is shit. 

    PK needs to make more subs earlier on.

    Overall we were by far the better team, just need to clean it all up. 

    Probably a good game for the neutrals watching on FTA TV which can only be a good thing for the league.

    It's definitely been an unfavourable situation for the NPL teams given that it's well into their post-season, but the cup is going to garner a lot more support and merit if it's played during the A-League season. I know I'm more pumped for this than I would have been if it were a pre-season game that's inevitably going to be treated as a friendly.

    There’s also a deadline for the cup this year as the winner qualifies for the preliminary rounds of the Champions League. So they need to have it wrapped up by the time that starts

    I don't know quite what you expect attendances to be. If you look at attendances elsewhere in the world there are plenty worse than we manage to draw, and these are to matches where football is pretty much a way of life  and not a minor sport as it is here. Despite what we fans like to think there are plenty of people in Melbourne who have never heard of Melbourne City or AAMI Park, as there are who have never been to AFL, the Melbourne Cup or the Boxing Day Test and can't remember the last time they used a bus. Unless you know where to look it is actually not that easy to find out much about football, what's on and where, or results.

    I'm convinced nobody would say anything about our crowds if the bloody seats weren't neon green. It just makes empty seats stand out so much. Wish they were a more neutral colour. There were plenty of games last year where WSW got 7k at Bankwest and nobody even noticed

  4. I'm not usually a big fan of him but Berengeur had a good game last night. 

     

    Also, while the crowd of 7213 last night wasn't too bad and is a pretty regular A-League sized crowd, I was hoping we'd be pushing 10k at most games this year given our success last year. I guess COVID related factors will still be impacting all crowds in the state for a few months yet so probably unfair to judge too harshly yet.
