All A-League sides in the first year, including the reigning premiers and champions in the quarter final, a state league side on the other side of the country and both grand finalists, including the reigning premiers and champions in the quarter final yet again in the second year.
Edited by salmonfc: 2/9/2015 12:07:37 PM I think winning the FFA Cup facing all A-League opponents is the best way to do it, i think if say you played all lower side teams until the end it would be shit on by other teams saying how easy it was because you faced yada yada etc. If a state league side can make the semis, and likely have to beat 2 a league opponents in a row, they would still be a deserving winner of the Cup.I don't agree with everything the FFA does by any stretch, but one thing they have gotten right is the Cup and its format. I agree, i meant if an A-League side only faced state league teams all the way through and won it wouldn't mean as much because of the easy run they had.

Heidelberg United v Melbourne City at Olympic Village Despite Tim Cahill raving about how great the surface is at nib, it is scheduled for re-surfacing before the start of the A-League season. This means that there is a very strong chance that the Glory v WSW game will be at an alternate venue. Could be either the WACA or Dorrien Gardens (if the lighting upgrade has been completed).

11.mvfc.11 wrote:The WACA would be in similar stages of renovation leading into the cricket season. I'd imagine Subiaco will be used. WACA surface is perfectly maintained throughout the year. There is a women's match scheduled there for first week in October so late September for football should be fine. Subiaco is shithouse and would be even worse when it is only a quarter full. At the WACA, the pitch could be located in front of the Lillee Marsh stand which should be sufficient size for a mid week game. Having said that I would prefer a jam packed and heaving Dorrien Gardens.

Quote:[size=9]Details revealed for Westfield FFA Cup Quarter Finals[/size]Melbourne Victory will host Adelaide United on Tuesday 22 September 2015 in a Westfield FFA Cup blockbuster at AAMI Park after the dates, venues and kick-off times for the four Quarter Finals were confirmed. The fixture between Melbourne Victory, the reigning Hyundai A-League Premiers and Champions, and Adelaide United, the current Westfield FFA Cup holders, will be LIVE on FOX SPORTS and is one of three Quarter Finals to be played in Victoria. Spread across two super Tuesdays on 22 and 29 September, the opening night of the Quarter Finals will also feature Hume City hosting their third straight game of the Westfield FFA Cup when they take on fellow PlayStation 4 NPL club Oakleigh Cannons at ABD Stadium. Both matches will kick off at 7.30pm AEST. Then on match night two (29 September) it’s Heidelberg United’s chance to claim a Hyundai A-League scalp when they take on Melbourne City FC at Olympic Village in West Heidelberg at 8pm AEST before last year’s finalists Perth Glory go up against Western Sydney Wanderers FC at Dorrien Gardens in West Perth (kick-off 6.30pm local, 8.30pm AEST). As well as showing the Melbourne Victory v Adelaide United clash, FOX SPORTS will also broadcast the match between Heidelberg United and Melbourne City FC, while providing updates and crosses to the other two matches. The Quarter Finals between Perth Glory and Western Sydney Wanderers FC, and Hume City against Oakleigh Cannons will also be streamed online at www.foxsports.com.au/football/ffa-cup/ffacupondemand and Apple TV via FOX SPORTS Now. Ticketing information for the four matches will be released soon. Visit http://www.theffacup.com.au/tickets for details.

Round of 16 tips are [size=6] up![/size] [size=7] up![/size] [size=8] up![/size] Some very interesting movers and shakers. TheSelectFew retakes #1 spot with an excellent performance in the MD2 of the Ro16, now leading the comp by 2, on 40 points from HutchonHoliday who has had an extremely good rise to the top of the rankings. Joyful Penguin happy feet's his way into the top 3 with a strong MD2 RO16, making me drop my hold on #1 and drop down to 4th, with what I must admit was a poor Ro16 in terms of tipping having decided to hedge my bets on a few cupsets. That may cost me a top 3 position come the end of the competition. Some good moves in the upper-middle order with The Witness, Milan_7, FFACup/Volkz, and Scotty21 all eligible with a sniff into the top 3 providing their tips are correct and a bit of luck with correct scores along the way. The middle order got a bit of a nifty shake up. Immense disappointment for Vincezogold who had an extremely strong Ro32, but failed to enter his tips for the whole Ro16, allowing him to slip right down the bottom of the ladder, and arguably out of the running for the top 3. 14 points outside the top 3, it's going to take a miracle for a comeback. We welcome a few new tippers, although I probably shouldn't be counting them, but they're in it for shits n giggles. As a result, Iridium1010 moved out of the Red Zone, much to his delight I'm sure. Must say, the top 5 are juicy going into the finals. :)

There's still plenty of football to be played. We are going about it in our usual manner taking it one week at a time. We can't get ahead of ourselves at this stage in the season.

Record will be smashed next round tbh. With the amount of Melbourne clubs playing it would be hard not to.

Bit of a late report but went to watch the Rockdale v Melbourne game, was a great game to see as a neutral but have to say it would have been a lot better if it was held at Rockdales home ground, no cevapi and no alcohol served at the game was a downer not to mention the atmosphere which would have been a lot better at Ilinden.

Ausstadiums photos are often outdated, but must say those facilities at Heidelberg look a bit shit. Looks very outdated, and a bit run down. :-k
