I was hoping we would get Perth in the finals - their form has been abysmal.  WU, on the other hand have been looking pretty good.

The younger ages seemed to dominate, 13/15/16's won by a 5 goal margin (I think) against Easts. Not so much with the older group. 
It makes sense that they should have the better players, given the fees are fully subsidised, I just thought they would have been still playing up an age as per previous seasons. 
The younger keepers must be bored shitless.

WU are probably saying the same thing (just a bit more confidently).

Beat Melbourne City and we play Perth. Lose or draw and we play Roar.

Every time I think "if only we were playing Perth" or "Do we want to end up as the lower qualifiers so we play SFC instead of CIty" I remind myself that we have to win the next 3 games to be Champions; whoever we come up against. And I know we can beat them all - just nicer to start 'easy'.

WU have one game left and Roar have none before the finals.

All WU need is a draw and that will dop us off to 5th place. Mid table as I thought.

On form WU and MC look favourites for the GF.However they play each other next.So if one loses.They lose momentum.
Whatever happens MC and SFC get a rest.

Realistically teams 3-6 have a huge task to win a GF if they get there,because they have three games in just over a week.
WU have the extra lead in game as well.

WU v BR & WP v PG or WU v PG & WP v BR on the weekend.

Then 3 days and 2 days to back up against a fresh SFC & MC.

If one of SFC or  MC lose .the 3-6 winner ,then has only another three days for the GF.

Based on that fact alone ,Its hard to see either SFC or MC not winning the grand final.

If you add in form:
BR have beaten noone in the top six post Covid.But havent lost to any either.
SFC have beaten WP post Covid.But have lost 3 times.
WU have beaten SFC and PG.
WP have beaten PG.
PG have beaten noone in the top 6.
MC have beaten only SFC.But havent lost.
 So:
WU are in great form.But their punishing schedule surely will means they will have a bad day.  Sorry goodbye
PG  winning three games in short succession..Yeh nah
WP.injuries and average form...Nah
BR...Have to win three in a row for the first time this year....Nahnah nah..Unless they can draw their way to penalty victory.

Thats why its SFC or MC.

With 11 teams, mid table is 6th.

We are securely in the top half of the table no matter what happens next.

City beat WU and we stay in 4th - as I clearly recall you predicting ;)
EDIT: 5th dammit.
EDIT 2: Bloody hell - I've lost my orange marbles. 4th it is.

All academic - we were not far off coming 3rd when it came down to it - so to me the place on the ladder is irrelevant. We earned our place in the finals rather than scraping in as a mid table team making up the numbers.

Crimson - typo in the games. You have WP v PG where you meant WP v BR.

No matter what happens Roar will finish 4 points off second place, which is definitely NOT what you thought 

6th is on the bottom half of the ladder, not mid table

Used to be when we had 10 teams, but now:

1-5 (5 places) top half
6 middle
7-11 (5 places) bottom half

Don't maths with me! I won my last fight by 50 metres.

Never mentioned points, but the same could be said Roar are 4 points off 7th as well.

By that logic a midfielder would have to stand on the half way line to be considered as a midfielder.

You can’t have 1 place to determine what should be as mid table teams. 5th, 6th and 7th are easily considered mid table.

About where I thought we end up.

All my post was relating to you calling 6th the bottom half of the table. No more than that. As you say - 6th is mid table this season and not the bottom half.

As much as I call us a success for coming 4th or 5th this season, I know you look at the football more than the table position for how we have gone. We just use different yardsticks.

But - when City beat WU and we end up 4th I will be bumping the post where you clearly predicted us coming 4th you know.

Biggest success for us this season (so far) is the GA column. Not too many professional teams would have ever improved their GA column by 43 goals in one season. Remarkable turnaround.

Nothing about being a drama queen when there is truth and there's lies, quite frankly, blatant lies.

I'm actual mates with one of them and what the club is saying is false, 



I've been watching the Fowler v Roar argument and I've had the transcript that certain players have kept about their dealings with Poure and Fong from the start of the stand down. Its 20 pages long and I must admit, they do actually come across as gangsters or putting it politely, horrid. This is the first piece and I will post more or just pass it on to journalists.

“Former England striker Robbie Fowler has launched a wrongful dismissal case with FIFA over his departure as head coach of A-League club Brisbane Roar during the Covid-19 lockdown, Australian media has reported....”

https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2020/0817/1159555-fowler-launches-wrongful-dismissal-case-against-roar/

Interesting snippet. One would hope the PFA is taking seriously any threats or intimidation of it's members?

You look like just another multi created to propagate an agenda though .... what a surprise. 

Or, or .... you just grow some and post stuff under your real name instead of hiding behind a fake name and feeding a media industry that already hates football? 

How about this. WU beat City on the weekend carrying on their great form and getting the edge on City. We play WP and WU play Perth. With the injuries that WP have had they cant score so we go through with no troubles and Poppa gets perth up for it and gives WU a challenge but ultimately WU go through. 

We get SFC who are totally out of form and look to already be on holidays and cruise through to the GF, WU having the mental edge on city take them to extra time and berisha wins the penalty shootout for them. 

WU Vs BR in the GF and due to the crazy amount of football they played in such a short time WU just cant compete and we win.... EASY  :)

A fantasy tale by RIMB:

Robbie: I want to stay, but being this far from family during the Corona outbreak is too much. I'll buy my own ticket home and make my own arrangements.
Roar: Of course we want you to stay and continue working with the team, but we understand that family is more important than football at this time. Travel safely.

Robbie: What a great club. Letting me go home to be with my family at this crucial time. Wonder how long it will be before I can go back and finish.

Roar: Shame he had to cut his contractual obligations off short when things were really coming together, but we can appreciate the need to be with family in unprecedented times like this. Now - who can we get to replace him.

And as we close the curtain on this drama, once again the evil queen Por'Communicada has left her ugly mark on the world.

I have had similar but less detailed speculations.

Never rule out alien abduction just before critical games too. Diamanti, Berisha and JMac may be forced to return to football planet. Luckily we don't have anyone from there at the moment and can field our strongest team ;)

What would that agenda be though Waz? 

Who knows. Bitter ex-employees maybe? There’s always been a leak around BRFC, at least since Lions left, maybe it’s a cultural Queensland thing? 

You disagreed 5th was midtable was your initial stance.

Agree that 6th isn't bottom either but realistically 5, 6, 7 are midtable, that's the 3. Then you have the top 4 and bottom 4. Perfectly proportioned.
The quality that Roar play with the players it has is NOT of title contending quality. In football anything can happen in a one off game for sure though. Like a Championship team winning the FFA Cup against a premiership team does happen.

Fingers crossed for the mid table Roar to take out the toilet seat :P

Mathematically in the top half was my point - but happy to concede that 5-7 are midtable in football terms.

Still want City to win tomorrow so I can bump that 4th place post though.

We’re playing better under Moon than we were under Fowler IMO. Better in going forward. We’ll end up a spot higher under Moon.

Any one agree we should be looking for money for Zac Duncan?
i mean we gave him $60 a week ffs. 

Thoughts on this Roar fans?
