+x+x+x+x+xGoing against the group think here but the NRL magic round is great. It's a massive event for the NRL. It's a whole weekend of football with all the fans mixing together in the one place. I know we're copying the NRL but in this case it's a great idea. The A Leagues did it a few years ago when they played every fixture one after the other on a single day but in different cities and that was good. Follow your team to a city and go and watch 2 or 3 other matches while you're there. It's a thumbs up from me. but doing it with the Australia Cup, could be interesting, 10 games in a weekend in one city/state Even Worse Fundamental feature of the cup is the chance to take on a big team at your home ground Well the reality is these games are few. The overwhelming majority of games are just small clubs playing each other - or do only a handful of NPL clubs count? I am not saying do it, but it could be interesting. SMFC being drawn MV and playing in Perth would be a highlight I reckon we would get a fair few Perth locals from clubs like Athena (and even our old foes Perth Glory) coming down to support the mighty Hellas..... :) Would draw a better crowd than Brisbane vs WU in Perth for example.....

Do you mean "culture' Paulie? Is that some sort of franchise marketing spelling you are using? Nothing cultural about denying passionate club fans the opportunity to watch their club play a home game by forcing them to travel interstate when the rising cost of living means many of them may not be able to afford to. Thats not "culture" thats just selling out.

the man who threw a bucket of sand at goalkeeper Tom Glover jailed for three months.
Wow, that's one hell of a penalty for wanting to build sand castles. Good deterrent though!

Bit rough to deny a small club (any club not just NPL) their one and only chance to make a bit of coin from gate takings in my opinion... Northcote City last month, for example, had a boost to their gate takings and food sales which, if they were forced to travel to Sydney for a kumbaya round, would have been denied them. I get what you are saying though, perhaps a better idea would be to do a football carnival type thing in the earlier parts of the cup, perhaps, for example all Victorian games (before the national NPL clubs are combined) matches are played over a weekend at AAMI park for example, All I am saying is 90% of games (probably more), are not teams playing an a league side for takings.
Of course I support helping the clubs out but one round would hardly hinder this. It would be exceptionally easy to work money for them anyway.
Just an idea I am not saying do it. But I don’t think it’s crazy
heaps of clubs have end of year cups where sistes teams travel from around aus. The Serb ones get loose lol. Yeah fair call mate... It wouldnt be the worst idea in the cup I suppose.

Slater behaves and talks no diff to countless ex player pundits ala Neville Carra etcetc…. Talk shit at times but I think some shit is good to stir the pot and imo this trash talk makes some sense despite it not happening it throws it out there.

Interesting times. +xMore than one team in Victoria paranoid android. No, you're just salty you may be forced to travel if your team makes the GF. Must be a tough reality for you.

+xSad to see this manoeuvre sucking people in yet again 1. Start with terrible option 2. People freak out 3. Offer alternative that is claimed to be not as terrible 4. Freaked out people, grab at alternative for comfort Hahahaah classic "Sales 101" trick What the reality is however is that the alternative option is NOT really that alternative, infact, Destination NSW now have APL over the barrel having to "justify" the spend and cater for 6 matches instead of a GF and an Allstars international....

Slater just likes to sensationalise and highlight old problems that everyone already knows about.

Freaked out people, grab at alternative for comfort accurate. But its pretty obvious people would accept a Magic Round in Sydney over the GF being in Sydney. And if its a success, it could be rotated around the country in future years. The only thing i ask is that teams are not penalised by losing a home game. Make this a 27th match with no home game rights for all teams.

On the flip side FA are probably never been in a better place especially after a successful women’s World Cup which means more energy and resources spend on the national teams and other larger issues in the game such as the needing more facilities.
I think the old FFA focused too much on the aleague and then the owners wanted more power or in this case independence that Congress thing broke out so the game has never been without its issues forever it seems.
In terms of the GF decision it’s too little too late and it will take awhile for fans to get over it but I don’t mind the magic round it’s a better alternative than selling out the GF and not reward doing well in the aleague table.

It's a thumbs up from me. sorry mate nah as some have posted, marketing directive that yep works for them due to their failed 1 level league format and the years of slow decline its been through. They got to come up with something and yep works being just 2 States next door are the majority following. We are FOOTBALL, we have so much going for it but we're so so stifled in a vacuum on being something else to suit the grain of this countries 2 codes dna. We have our leagues below that are sitting there in mothballs doing their own thing to survive and the other end doing its own thing to survive but follow the marketing way for sugar hits and to say thats success due to a spike in crowds or whatever. WE have the resource to be a HIT for ourselves the game not to the rest of non football supporters compared to those codes IF we had unity and models that follows Footballs known structure world over. I'm getting so sick of our game being sold as a gimmick and what do you get ? Magic round or star wars or whatever other gimmick (its a poors mans/suedo Cup kind of style method because its all those codes can work with) - the product is the game on the pitch ! and imagine the true model with P/R, wouldn't that get the juices flowing turning up to games. I get this kind of marketing ploy when you've had a thriving league after many years with good support Club to Club, right now our top league is a crawling/stuttering entity and these approachs even more now looks like its turning off another % of hardened AL supporters. I'm wasting my time I know in the big picture but here's another perspective and Muz none of the post is directed to you personally. Apple iphones or think of any other successful commodity - can they survive with just 1 product line to offer in todays world ? Nope. Your points are vaild, but I think you need to look at it as the alternative to a NSW GF. For me it's a much better alternative to have a magic round than selling off the GF to NSW...Melbourne City got absolutely dudded last GF not being able to play it at home. Gold-covered turd is much better than just a plain old turd, is basically what it is. Football Australia and then the APL have completely dropped the ball with the A-league over so many years, we have in my opinion gone backwards from the point where we started in 2005. Almost 20 years of development pissed away for nothing. It's a calamity.

Thumbs down from me Totally ignores the tribal nature of the spectator, no Home advantage, no travelling to a 'fortress' to grab a point. Or maybe have 26 Magic rounds, save on Stadium hire, Staffing and Broadcast costs. Mind you this is the APL, so my sarcasm may become reality Spot on re home advantage etc...... Here in Syd some friends are NRL and co workers. They actually dislike losing the home advantage, too funny its a home game but played at Suncorp or whtever ( any advantage lost) Home fans have their regular spots at games, banter the opponents, larger numbers to create the "vibe" "cauldrum" atmosphere, some visiting players always lose the plot under pressure playing away, what its all about.

Magic round is a much better idea. but I would go one step further.
Mens and womens all in one city on one long weekend.
Thursday night
Double header at SFS. (1 womens, 1 mens)
Friday night
Double header at Commbank (1 Womens, One mens)
Saturday/Saturday night
Double header at Commbank (1 Womens, 1 Mens)
Double header at Jubilee (Womens)
Double header at SFS ( Mens)
Sunday
Womens match at Commbank (Afternoon)
Mens match at SFS (Twilight)
Commbank = 5 games
SFS = 5 games
Jubilee = 2 games

+xSo as things stand, it looks like 5 of the 6 original members of the APL board and the dogs who negotiated the Sydney GF deal, have left (or are about to leave) the APL board. 4 of them have of them have also departed the board of their AL clubs. - Anthony Del Piero (former Victory chairman) - Danny Townsend (former Sydney FC CEO - although he left Sydney FC about 18 months ago). - Scott Barlow (former Sydney FC board chairman) - Chris Fong (former Brisbane Roar board chairman and CEO) - Paul Lederer (WSW board chairman - I believe he is staying on at WSW) The only one left is the biggest cancer out of all of them… Simon Pearce (City board member and Silver Lake Board member). Edit: Townsend was CEO, not on the board. The other board member is Stephen Evans (MD at Silver Lake). +xDestination NSW probably realised the deal was a dud after the football festival was an utter embarrassment and the game attracted virtually no interstate tourists no shit, sherlock. +xNow we don't have listen to our poor southern cousins moaning anymore, although they will think of something. you think it was just Vuck fans? buddy, I was talking to Sydney FC fans at the WWC who was against this as much as I am (plus Adelaide fans and Brisbane fans). More than one team in Victoria paranoid android.

The league is struggling to lay the foundations of the basic home/away fixture as far as making it appealing for the punters to pack out the stadiums.
This Magic Round, for all its intentions, is coming way too early in the piece.
I can only say for myself, but the frustration is can't we just have 1 plain, old, boring home/away season without the marketing fairy dust sprinkled all over the league?
It's no wonder I find myself heading down to watch NPL, youth football more often these days.

I can see merit in what you say - however, the name just sets it up with a terrible notion. It probably wouldn't attract enough people and logistics probably hard but doing it with the Australia Cup, could be interesting, 10 games in a weekend in one city/state

The A Leagues did it a few years ago when they played every fixture one after the other on a single day but in different cities and that was good. Follow your team to a city and go and watch 2 or 3 other matches while you're there. It's a thumbs up from me. Thumbs down from me Totally ignores the tribal nature of the spectator, no Home advantage, no travelling to a 'fortress' to grab a point. Or maybe have 26 Magic rounds, save on Stadium hire, Staffing and Broadcast costs. Mind you this is the APL, so my sarcasm may become reality

+x+xDestination NSW probably realised the deal was a dud after the football festival was an utter embarrassment and the game attracted virtually no interstate tourists no shit, sherlock. Go fuck yourself
