Very entertaining game of football, both played good football and we saw some good goals too.

Socks Perth have already dispatched Brisbane Roar and MC. Interesting. A strong Glory would spice up the competition. 

What about GIO stadium in Canberra for a truly neutral venue.

ACT Government would do absolutely nothing to bring that here.

mate, visit this ground on Saturday for the first time and gotta say Im impressed by the setup... Grandstand and covered seating (I think 2,000 or so) is mint,  they had a temporary granstand behind one of the goals and the actual Football victori offices and corp facilities is really rather well done... If they manage (like promised get another covered stand on thye opposite end of the pitch it will be THE perfect stadium for Football VIC finals and cups and even some national tournaments... I give them a lot of stick but this is a big tick from me.... Only downside was the pitch was a lttle bobbly .... 9/10

Good first hand suffering report mate haha 
I’d expect it should be good being home of the dykes :) 

Hahahaha it was a lot better than I thought it would be mate...  credit where it is due I suppose. "home of Matildas" in name only as it is really the "home of Football Victoria" I guess youv'e gotta play the game to get government funding these days.... 

No problem, from me, at all moving forward for ALL Victorian football finals to be played here as neutral venue.... It also helps out the smaller NPL and State league clubs when they are playing round of 32 Australia cup opposition like Oakleigh last week and Fitzroy Serbja tomorrow night. 

Check out the highlights from Dockerty Cup on the weekend ... multiple cameras, huge screen with replays shown in real time.... it almost felt like "proper football"

Minor whinge it's in a suburb that's hard to get to. Besides that glad there is a good stadium in Victoria 

Yeah totally agree .. Bundoora isnt exactly the "beating heart" of Melbourne... There is plenty of parking though because of the uni... and tram stops just outside on Plenty Rd.

Not if it sits smack bang on your way home from work and you drive past it every day. 

hahahahah have you been following me around?

currently in your bushes

Holy shit, I better shave then.... hahahahahahahha 

Good luck tonight (the one night I wont be driving past Bundoora) lol.... 

christ tsf I'd expect you would have said can't see through a greek bloody forest - he'll be shaving for/trimming for days haha

Todays games all streaming on 10Play.

• Lambton Jaffas vs Melbourne Victory @ 7:30pm
• South Melbourne FC vs Wellington Phoenix @ 7:30pm
• FC Melbourne Srbija vs Modbury Jets @ 7:30pm
• Olympic Kingsway vs Edgeworth Eagles FC @ 8:30pm

Mono enjoy tonight it should be a great atmosphere.
I'll be flicking through the other games tonight 

thanks someguy even though I checked the fixtures.
Lets see what line ups the 2 APL clubs put out tonight seeing SFC disrpected the game last outing.
So its a melbon double for the southerners, Lakeside the marquee game of the 4, I'll be watching like a fiddler on the roof.

Jaffas vs MV will be interesting me hope.
Jaffas at home will help, Topper Stanley in their backline, reigning '23 Champs 2nd on the NNSWNPL ladder, not in good form by the look of it but like every NPL will lift playing the Pros - can watch half hour before the below koff.

Go you good thing SMH - MSC I would expect being 2 trophies are locked up now they won't be resting any start up player barring injury eh ?

TSF is the Serbs one of your go to Clubs (2nd in VPL3) ? or wrong.
vs's MJets who are 2nd in SANPL.
This could go either way on the night I suppose, whats the diff in level anyone got an idea ?

Game 4 way way over yonder in Perf so a hike for Edgei.
8.25pm koff.
Edgei 3rd on their ladder behind Jaffas, so thats 2 from NNSW competing this round.
They have been a decent Club for a long time in that region - whereas Perth NPL1 I don't know much but that they are Greek/Maco heritage, is that good haha :) only kidding.
Olympic Kingsway has developed many future Australian professional football players, including Nick Ward, Stan Lazaridis, Richard Garcia and Daniel De Silva.
I expect this one os going to a close contest.

Looking like a good night of football.

Thanks mate, I will... A bit of a mixed bag for me, always wanna do well in ANY cup we play but Dockerty Cup is in the bag and now main focus is the league on Saturday....  Would be great to get the win tonight to get the Aleague club hoodoo off our backs but as long as it doesn't go to ET and penalties Ill be happy either way ... need the lads fresh for Saturday.

Dont know much about Jaffas apart from Topor Stanley but I watched MV against Green Gully friendly the other night and looks like they are very top heavy with youth players... Who knows what they will take up to NSW with them b ut could be a cupset????

Fitzroy has a decent forward line, strapping Serb blokes with Andy Kecojavic and  Luka Nincovic NPL level players, savvy coach and Lakic as pretty solid "breaker" Ive only seena couple of Modbury games this year, could go either way... Im going for Srbija.... they lost to Paco last week but also gave Oakleigh a run in teh Dockerty Cup the week before so show up in big games and get a decent crowd.

South v Wellington ----- no idea about Pheonix apart from we used to thump the Kingz back in the NSL days lol... I read they are trialling a young new keeper and have 6 players from U23 on matchday squad... who knows. As for our starting 11, Mikkola is out (I think) because of red card and most of the boys would have pulled up sore after that gruelling final on Saturday... We have a bit of depth this year on the bench but I reckon Big Harry, Bonada and Andy will all start ... tbc.

Kingsway vs Edgie could be the match of the night.... 

Tomorrow night the Mariners up against Heidelberg....

Be interesting to see how we go with the new players and without those that have left...

Heidelberg always do well in these games will be close... hoping for a Mariners win... 

I might get down to this one and cheer for the Mariners for you Mid...... :)  Bergers are a tough unit to beat this year at home.... havent lost in the league and South only just managed to beat them in the cup... its gonna be a fascinating game.

Hey Mid, hold back we're dealing with today tonights games :)
We know whats cooking lets preview tomorrow.
Hopefully you got some coasty intel for us so we can warn the greeks :)
