i want mariners to host the final i think if they could bring a crowd after not having much success the past few years it would be great for them and the competition 

All three remaining HAL clubs would get a boost from hosting/winning the Cup to be fair but yeah, Mariners especially. 

The competition has lost its appeal to me over the years - the rigged draw and associated marketing are just cringeworthy 

i did my my best to get behind Roars involvement again this year but it was half-arsed commitment out of blind loyalty. I’m not sure I’d go to another home game next season. 

Time to put out this little pup to sleep imo

if they continue with the bloody long off season i think they should have the final before the season starts. people lose interest when the a league season starts

Let's see how late kickoff will be.


By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

He is a Brisbane fan.
They have won 1(?) game in 5 attempts or some such so every season a few of their fans have to make sure people know they don't care anyway.

Like anything the FFA has ever touched it needs work and some re-jigging but all football fans should be hoping it grows, not dies.

what i mean though is the hype for the semi final is dead because the focus is now on the start of the a league season.
by the time we get to the final we are talking ABOUT THE a league season

yeah it would be a great way to open up the season. a big cup final the week before the league kick off.  leads in well and doesn't get lost amongst the league fixtures.

side note. jmac is having a good run. 6 goals in 4 games. a few assists as well.

Is it really a surprise that you've lost interest in a competition that your team has been a perennial underachiever in?

Yes, let's get rid of the only really positive thing that remains from the Lowy era because some teams/fans can't be bothered taking it seriously....

I'm not opposed to the idea of trialing the cup final before the HAL season starts, but mainly because I just want more football to watch in preseason. Definitely don't agree that fans lose interest once the regular season kicks off, and Adelaide's two packed out FFA Cup home finals (the first of which was held 2 months into the HAL season) are a testament to this.

Just saw the emailed line up...looks line a highly experimental side including Richard's in goal ahead of Margush and starting all of traore, ospeth, blackwood and halloran with only Mcgree and Darrigo in midfield. Not sure if this is a psyche out or not....

I'm very happy to see CCM fans turn up tonight. Shame about them choosing to play in this disgusting away jersey though. 

On the other hand I like Adelaide's simple kit ( other than the hideous FFA Cup logo that's out of their control ).
