Baze got his selections spot on.
McGarry with some clever work in tight spaces and then scores Roar’s 2nd late on, cutting in off the left and pinging it under the reserve Mariners keeper with his right. He was dangerous all game cutting in like that. Admittedly little to do on defence
Roux busier overall but pretty slow and poor. One bad giveaway almost leading to a Brisbane goal
Roar up 2-0 when I left at 85 mins with two bored 6 yr olds. Bit of niggle with 2-3 melees sparked. Roar coach Valkanis more than once entering the field of play
Official crowd 6,800 in the sun. That’s double some of the Suncorp crowds last season. Had been raining most of the week so apparently heavy pre sales yesterday when the weather fined up. Might encourge the Roar to bring some actual ALM games, one hour north
Lots of families with an early 1.30pm KO. Is a great sized stadium that will get extra grandstands for the 2032 Olympics and also a new train station.
Hopefully Sunshine Coast gets a spot in the OFC Pro League as a possible taster to one day an A League bid. Big popn growth catchment
But it might be Sth Melbourne who gets to be Aussies’s entrant, if a Melb hub is planned. They were apparently the only 2 bids, to be the Australian team, and not sure a hub would work on the Coast. Maybe a wider SE QLD hub would work, with a few Fijian, PNG expat communities between Gold Coast-Brisbane-Sunny Coast
