Whats a bet DT slaps on the Dencorub and trots out himself as an "NSL old star"? hahahahahahahahha 

this is great

I love that show.

Fits the apl like a glove 

Unfortunately this makes more sense than anything else I've heard 

Seems to me that they needed to blow their budget before financial year so that the same amount would be allocated next financial year.  

The APL seemed an ideal place to give money away for no return.   

Makes you hanker for those heady days of the Star Wars round.

Would've been funny if the 3rd place match pulled a larger crowd than the final.

Seeing as they were unable to secure any international/all-stars game for the weekend just past. Maybe they could have had a 3rd place match between SFC and AU. The finals series is a knockout comp after all. Probably wouldn't have pulled a huge crowd, but as a last ditch Plan D it would have been something. Something is usually better than nothing. At least there wouldn't have been this void week. The momentum wouldn't have dropped off like it has.

I’m sure Destination Nsw will be raking in the $$$ from all the festival tourists partying hard in Sydney 

Thank god that's over for another year, I'm knackered

I keep seeing ads for this on FB. There’s food trucks and a DJ.

BBQ and a disco everybody!!

fuck we need lynchy circling ffa in the news chopper to report on this unfolding story hahaha

i'm checking flights to sydney as we speak.  NSL old stars, do they bring their walking frames along

can just imagine DT blowing straight past the NSL fellas in the pre match function, ala Gallop and (who is) Frank Arok a few years back.

Frigin ridiculous!! Pretty hard to defend the a league these days when shit like this happens. Not locking in the Bayern game is a disgrace! So will there be an All Stars game this year?

oh. my. fucking. god. 

Dolphins too good for St George. They are in they're first season and near the top of the NRL table. Eighteenth team might well be Brisbane Tigers amalgamated with the Pacifika concept (PNG, Samoa, Tonga & perhaps Fiji), what a buzz! 

Joey Lynch reporting that

The Grand Final Party will include a 5 a side with NSL All Stars?!?!?!?!?! Hahahahah my fuckin word this is funny. hahahahahahahahahahah

"A 5-a-side exhibition tournament will include rep sides of City and CCM, an ALM 'Old Stars' team taking on the NSL All Stars, and an ALW side taking on a Matildas Alumni side."

Danny could have at least called it a Festivus of Football instead. Would be really cheap just putting up a pole and having the Airing of Greivances/Feats of Stength 📏

Welcome aboard :)

I tend to agree. The state of the game has never been at more of a risk then right now.

HAhahahahha holy shit what did I just watch?????? 

Should've followed his instructions

The Swans are playing Carlton tonight in Sydney. I wonder if thats what Danny meant by "Festival of football"? 

The AFL would e had a clause that the government gets capacitated if the game didn’t go through. 

100% on him for banking on something not watertight 

Townsend aligning himself with a government that was about to be tossed out, is another massive fuck up. It almost feels like he threw in all his eggs in the Perrottet basket. and the end result was the Bayern Munich debacle. 

Woop woop, can’t talk now, too busy football partying!

Bayern were going to be paid by the NSW gov, but the gov decided to pull the funding as the funds could be utilized better elsewhere in the budget. The estimated fee was $6.5-8m. Which sucks, but is completely understandable. Gov money moves around all the time and stuff like this is often on the chopping block as it is not exactly necessary spending. But the question still comes back to the APL and what happened to their week long celebration of football. The Bayern game was just one game, what about the rest of the week?
Also what is a Mashd N Kutcher? Apparently that is the musical guest at the GF. I'm too old to know about music made in the last decade. Question to anyone here born in the mid 90s, is this a good musical guest?

Source?! Thought Bayern M pulled out because of payment amount?? Couldn’t Super Danny organise another club to play instead?! The clown has had weeks since Bayern game cancelled
