nice to hear....

Imagine if there is no A-league in 2024-5

No big deal. Most of the Aleague franchises have had 20 years to build a membership base and they will all have a senior team competing in the state based NPLs for their fans to follow..  They will just have to start building again to get to the top league.

What is not skint, is the fact that the Apl will have live VAR during the semi finals. Leaders in Asia on this topic.

As long as they don't overhear them saying 'I don't know', 'I can't be sure' or 'it might be....' otherwise the fans will go to town on the officials even more.

The APL CAN afford the event they CHOOSE not to hold it mate... thats the problem..... 

Spending money on bullshit money making schemes, dont give a flying fark about football or footballers.... never have, never will.


THATS the MLS lite APL Franchise way .

And people though Frank Lowy and the FFA was badly run! LoL 

FFA managed to persuade Foxtel on paying 40-60 million a year in A-league rights LoL

As for the APL, I don't know how Paramount paid 40 million a year for this poxy league LoL

"We've had some fantastic events over the years - of all different variety - but this year we wanted to bring the awards closer to fans and give them a platform to be celebrated during the biggest games of the year."

"Other awards will be announced digitally"

hahahahahaha the marketing spin is strong with these guys... hahahahahah 

This is amazing if true.

CFG lost $200m last year, wouldn't hurt that much to cover the Awards night ?

Bwahahaha this dumb mindset. You want billionaires to fund this poxy league? 

What you want people to fund western United who get 1,500 people a game? Pump 20 million dollars a year on them for the sake of it? LoL

I'm sure APL still have enough money for the Warren night

But that would leave less for the Repucom gang to syphon

Well if the APL can't afford the Dom Peringue or any of that high priced white 🍷 wine, buy the cheap shitty red wine 🍷 off the cardboard box LoL

At least there was money to host these events. 


So what did the APL do to lose all this cash?

hey legend I think its pretty much the muchness but that the APL/owners felt to pick up their crumbs.
Most clowns as you call them just wanted Lowys out no more no less, they set the Trojan Horse and here we are.
Thank christ the current FA are way better than the past and trying to rebuild so thats the positive looking ahead.

haha too funny MSC......
Christ with my boys I've enjoyed countless Club only end of season awards/dinner events let alone my own playing days.
Who doesn't luv getting out amongst your fellow team mates supporters and Club officials, we've all contributed to cover those costs year on year out and as mentioned then the State Feds hold theirs for the NPL top flight.
It sure is a farce of a decision.

Just picturing all of the players realising they no longer need to buy their SO a new outfit for the evening.

So no glitz and glamour for the end of season awards?

Frank Lowy had the money to fund a convention centre and some beer and seafood for the event.

Might as well set it up in a pub in Adelaide and bring your own goon sack lol

So the Johnny Warren medal winner will be just taking a photo on grand final day?

No glitz and glamour like the AFL Brownlow medal night? Shame

The annual Dolan-Warren awards ceremony has been axed, with the A-Leagues set to announce the players of the season at halftime on grand final days.

The Australian Professional Leagues (APL) have chosen to tone down this season's Dolan-Warren celebrations, which are usually held in the lead-up to A-League Men grand final week at a glitzy ceremony.

It follows significant cuts at head office this year and a restructure overseen by the competitions' new commissioner, Nick Garcia.

hope more follow, its annoying calling offside by  finger nail or elbow its just a joke.
I know sometimes your happy the call went your teams way but its got OTT.
You win some you lose some, how the game rolls on the day.
Hope more countries follow this lead.

For just $10 you can watch the APL All-stars teams train

what i reckon would be better is instead of selling tickets, they sell license fees. each person who buys a license fee can then convince 6 more people to buy a license fee after them. Then after that, they can get people to sell license fees.

It'll never hit a snag.
