1) WU take a point or 3 off Macarthur 2) Roar draw with Perth and lose to Sydney 3) Adelaide lose to WSW 4) We beat Macarthur
We finish 4th!
Sadly 1) ain't gonna happen. WU are a shambles, not helped by having to take this 'home' game to Sydney. Fear Macarthur will crush them.
2) also looks unlikely given both games are at home for the Roar, and SFC are depleted, plus by that last game they may have nothing to play for, ie top 2 finish already nailed down. Corica may even send a bunch of kids to Brisbane, considering they will have a heavy schedule of AFC games post the A League playoffs.
3) But Adelaide losing to WSW, yipe that could definitely happen. Lets hope so.
After losing 6-1 to the worst team in the league with Durante out, you'd think he would be back? I'm not his biggest fan, but you'd think after playing so many A-League matches he would deserve to make their team the last couple of matches. I'm guessing he did something to piss off Rudan...
I know Covid made a mess of things, but EVERY year we start so slowly. If you took the last 50% of games each season I'm pretty sure the Nix would make the play offs most of the time. Take the first 50% of games and we are nearly always near the bottom. Hopefully the players currently cheering on a terrible WU team as one of their only hopes to make the top 6 remember this early next season and treat all the games with intensity rather than warm ups...

It would be great next season, if the visa striker (presuming there will be one) is there fit, from game 1. Heaven forbid is even there for a full preseason. Both Hooper & Hemed have come in late, and it's only the 2nd half of each season that they have hit their straps. Huge part of the reason Nix have started slowly both terms.

IIRC we had Hemed lined up quite a bit before he signed but had issues negotiating for his family to arrive which was the hold up. But hopefully no hickups this time.
