Due to the recent issues in the last fortnight with this forum, and the fact the anti-spambot took to me like an Israeli F-16 to a Palestinian home, tipping for this round has become difficult and disorganized.
If you did not submit your tips for the two matches last night, never fear - nor did I. You can still submit your tips for the next two games. I understand some people may have lost interest in the tipping comp. Just submit your tips normally.
Yeah I was gonna tip Victory and Hume anyway cheers bud :) Course you were. I bet you were going to predict 3-1 scores for Victory and 3-2 for Hume as well. :lol:

Last year aggregate attendance was 93,820.
This year we have 73,590 so far with 5 games to go. An average just above 5k a game would see us crack the 100k mark, which i expect to be passed easily.

Sure Melbourne Victory, Sydney and Adelaide can be excused as they have ACL commitments to contend with during the A-league season, but I think its this year A-league teams are showing their true colours and treating FFA Cup as a "Mickey Mouse competition."
Edited by helloworld1992: 24/9/2015 03:17:28 PM Its also a good chance to test out fringe players. Make no mistake these guys have to up their game against opposition which crave for their roles in a professional environment.

Make no mistake these guys have to up their game against opposition which crave for their roles in a professional environment. Agree with this, hence why I can sympathize with Arnie fielding a lot of second stringers and youth players in our two-game FFA Cup run this season. Combine this with the fact the cup run starts very early in our (and most A-League clubs pre-season), but I can't help but maintain this feeling that we took it as nothing more than A-League preparation. I'll go out on a limb and say most football supporters would view and FFA Cup in their trophy cabinet a bigger success and prize than say the A-League Grand Final. If not now, at least when the FFA/AFC recognize the FFA Cup as the knockout-cup competition and the winner qualifies for a full Champions League spot.

I have to disagree with the term 'weaker' because it is a relative term. While the teams may not be made up of the best players on paper, when you consider the fact that there were only 4-6 weeks of preseason before the first two rounds would suggest that the teams sent out would have been the best placed to get a result.

Also, does anyone know if the A-league NPL teams get a cup spot in their respective state cups and if they are allowed to enter the FFA cup should they make it that far?

Gameiro the only one that hurts the team to be out.
