I’m completely off the A League and have been even before COVID. Just can't get into it anymore. It’s sad because I used to enjoy it especially the rivalry with WSW and Melbourne Victory.

Blame Gallop and Stephen Lowey for pandering to the MSM, destroying the culture and trying to appeal to the Karen's and Bruce's of the world and appeal to the AFL/Big Bash family friendly types (whatever that means).
The standard this season has been as good as ever. There have been some great imports and more of the youngsters are getting a chance and they have been shining. It's a shame that Covid has kept a lid on attendances. Great to see the Mariners leading the comp after years in the doldrums.
Hang in there bud.

The constant turnover in marquees and imports is a problem as well. Every team has an entirely new stack of best players every two years.

Most clubs. Clubs like ESFC and MV have kept rosters largely intact due to continued success. It's now coming back to bite them due to lack of junior development and improving their depth.
The Wanderers on the other hand have built a $30 million Centre of Excellence and some of their best players this season have been the players that they have brought through that academy.
Eventually, these players will be sold overseas and the Wanderers will get a return on their investment.

I'm pleased to see it Twiz. Some of my most fun away days have been in Gosford when the Mariners were strong.

Well, they WERE trying to guide their strikers towards the goal.

Takes guts to go first.


Gotta remember that that wearing sports betting on your jersey can also cost you sponsors. We are proof of that.
