I cannot recall an aleague level game with more brutal and deliberate fouling than that by Oakleigh.

A guy runs full speed into the front of a Bulls player with his forearm raised and delivers a blow - and he only gets a yellow. Hollman got charged full on in the back when he was jumping for a ball and it was just a free kick. Davila got kicked to buggery the whole time. Arzani got plenty of solid connections on him before any diving appeared.

All game Macarthur got kicked and thumped and in the second half they did give a bit back - but why would you not highlight the contact when you are actually being attacked in challenges. The ref has to stop it because the players are going to do it as long as they get away with it.

It was a dirty game by Oakleigh and Macarthur showed real quality in being able to play through it and around it.

That sort of play will bring more Bulls supporters than anything I saw last season.

The better team won - with a notable highlight for the 13 year old Oakleigh keeper who got to run on in the dying minutes and kept a clean sheet (without any actual shots fired).

No question that Oakleigh has really good players and can play as a team. Their goals were beauties. But the crap that came with their play should not be allowed when it can end professional careers so easily.


When I wear their colours, I am the club.

Arzani fakes a hit to the face.

If you got rammed front on like Arzani was you would milk it too to get back at the opposition. Oakleigh an amateur bunch of thugs in the end

Should be an good final, I wonder where they will host it? 
Hopefully cheap tickets prices and decent promotion to get a decent crowd in because this years Australia Cup has been great to watch with plenty of highlights. 

The Bulls have got plenty of good attacking talent and Sydney United have been very spirited with decent quality as well, should be a good one!

i thought Oakleigh held there own until there CB got an ACL injured and subbed off.

that changed their structure, and after that they ran out of legs. 

Bring on Macarthur :cool:

Im glad you all got to see what i have been harping on about all season... Only surprised that some of the "thuggery" was penalized, I guess there is only so much you can get away with when there is a live national audience watching.....

So,   if the Bulls beat the thugs 5-2 and the thugs beat the pussies 5-0 what would be the gore line if the Bulls played the pussies?

I assume you mean South Melbourne are the "pussies"? Well, consider we beat the thugs 1-0 at home then, playing Macarthur at Lakeside would have been a lot closer a result than 5-2... At the very least non of our players would have tried to actively maim a professional opponent.

Unfortunately SM played poorly in the GF.

Is Oakleigh's excessive rough play normal for them and is it normal for teams coached by their coach?

Unfortunately SM played poorly in the GF. - AGREED
Is Oakleigh's excessive rough play normal for them - YES
and is it normal for teams coached by their coach? - NOT really, but CT does know how to grind out a result... more the culture of club and fans, cheering on every leg breaker like they were happy to see young player's careers ended.

yeah it is mate, i think there is 55 teams Australia wide coming this year, and there is a lot of interest from interstate in general who are only coming for the game. Expecting 10,000+  croats at the game.

a portion of the stadium grandstand got demolished for renovations, so i'd say capacity would be 7-8k. Would of been electric, just not enough room in my opinion.

also, the Final is dictated by FA, its all their takings, and decisions.
