A win against Adelaide then Brisbane would all but confirm 4th for us with 2 games to go. At the least, want it sewn up before the Perth game

Love it, in a perverse kind of way
So either score early against Adelaide or snatch late winner?
I love a good Graph!

The most suprising stat is that this isn't CCM's worst season defensively.
I thought the NZ Knights would be on that list

Excellent, IF, we win, only 4 points behind the Victory - and a moral victory too.
Moral victory?

v Brisbane is nearly a must win. However in fixture irony Melbourne City play Adelaide
3 things we want to happen to get 4th.
We beat Brisbane
City beat Adelaide
We beat City
Obviously there are other tricky permutations though
Are central coast really bad enough to lose 18 games by only conceding 10 goals?

Only because they’re attack is dreadful and they’ve scored -35.

I prefer the "Match abandoned after 63mins due to both sides only having 6 players left on the field" Option!

Oh I thought -35 was how many girlfriends they have!
A-League Ladder (only counting results vs Top 6 teams)

Fascinating stat RR. Grim but fascinating.
You'll be able to add 3 wins after the finals anyway.
Yes, I commented a few times a wee while back about how we've struggled against top 6 teams. I didn't want to keep being negative nancy though! The Adelaide result was unsurprising in that way. At the same time, it's not like we've looked incapable of doing better against them, like with the Victory games.

The only thing is that if Adelaide pick up a point against City, we need to get something from the Perth game (or hope that Adelaide drop more points somewhere else). Whereas if City win, then we just have to beat them at home to ensure we finish above both
