CityWildcat Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 (edited) Probably an unpopular opinion but I'm tired of this ''finals'' BS. It's not a football format. I don't like paying for membership (12yrs now) and then being fleeced at this time of year. Already today I have had about 5 emails about finals tickets. The APL has got so much to answer for (let's not even mention that shitstain Danny T******d, now ruining some project in bloody Saudi Arabia, of all places. Then again, probably the perfect place for him) over the couple of years since it made the A-Leagues independent. I want investment in the bread-and-butter season, not confected hype. To get the league back to where it was a decade ago. We certainly do not deserve to win the GF this season, but obviously there is a chance we could. Good luck to the team. But.... nah.

I'm with you, but unfortunately this "play-off" format is used in a number of places now. For example in the EFL to determine a promoted club. Myself I would prefer to see the home-and-away League season extended rather than the "finals" system we have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather seperate it from the A League competition and make it an APL Knockout Tournament for the top 6 sides. That way, the Premier is clearly the Premier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Belgian first division appear to have three: the top six (same as ours) the middle six (WTF???) and the bottom four for demotion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citypool Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 I'm not a huge fan of finals but it gets people interested so that's what matters. A league is struggling but every finals game could get a decent attendance and viewership 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a reasonable shout and is done elsewhere e.g. Scotland with a top 6 and bottom 6 but still to determine final league standings. It ensures the final round of matches at the end of the season are important. It works far better though when the bottom half and trying to avoid relegation which would render the Australian equivalent pretty worthless.

The bottom 6 is fair too, because IIRC the final placings determine where the clubs enter the next seasons Australia (FFA) Cup. TTIM... "Australia Cup" sounds like a horse race...

CityWildcat Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 How very hardcore, showing up at a ''big ticket'' game and on FB urging people to be there. Like, where were these people in mid-season at any time in the last couple of years? I might hate the finals concept, but I go to every pre-finals home game I can make when I'm not working....... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n i k o Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Melburnians are copping a lot of flack at the moment for their sudden return. I can't defend against it either. Seems to be a case of 'derby specialists' coming out of the woodwork. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless I’m glad they did come back. Hopefully they stay. Well let’s see what happens. I feel we have nothing to lose and we definitely have the class to win if we play to the best of our ability.

kingofhearts Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Happy with so far but Fernandez is a liability and I reckon he'll cost us a goal tbh.
