Boys and girls, if we can get past Victree in our semi I'd fancy bringing their cup back over to New Zealand!

Just the result we needed!

Go Mariners! I wish Matty Simon was there to score the winner.

Fantastic free kick by Davidson to give Victory the lead after 70 mins, 1-0

Ikonomidis in the dying seconds,  2-0

Bozanic! Surely there isn't enough time? 2-1

I watched the highlights of the final.. What an atmosphere. It would ajve been great for us to be a part of that. Not just for the club and the fans (I think we deserve it!) but for the players themselves. Exposure to big games brings experience and we could have benefitted as a football team. Let's s hope we continue to make the Cup a priority in the final season and that we go one better next year.

Nix only made it a priority after they bet the Western United kids, with a Weenix side in the Round of 32. And that was invaluable experience for the kids, as every starter in that game bar Mogg, has gone on to get some ALM minutes.

Next season I imagine it will again revert to a pre season comp, so Talay & Co may treat it differently again.

Goooooal!! WSW take an early lead. 1-0

Draw happening now. Nix one of the 16 names still in the pot, along with 5 other A-League teams.

Sydney host CCM & Jets host Adelaide.

what's the bet we get Melb V or WSW?

WSW & Glory are already knocked out. I wanna play an State League team, so hope we don't get another AL side

Very favourable game first up, and a nice way to work into our season. What's the standard like in the Tasmanian NPL? 

Devonport are at the top of the table by 8 points after 11 games. They have scored 40 and conceded 5, Keegan Smith in goal for 10 of those games.

So big fish in a small pond. So they can put real focus on this match up vs us.

Sounds like he has improved. Remember when he was at the Phoenix in 2017/18, did not really impress compared to Paulsen in recent times.

In fairness, he was chucked in the deep end with concrete boots under Kalezic. Plucked from relative obscurity and plumped straight into the starting XI as an 18 year old because the gaffer thought he could play out from the back better than what we had at the time...

I'm sure he's probably grown a bit and become a better keeper over the past couple of years, but I don't think he'd be a patch on what Paulsen is/is going to be.

Honestly apart from a few bright spots, 2017/18 was a disaster. The one and only season I took a break from watching the Phoenix because of how poorly they were doing.

It would absolutely pointless comparing performance for the dominant team in a weak Tassie NPL comp, to the ALM in any shape or form.

Conspiring with one the kids he coaches to help bring down Scott Morrison, may end being a career high point.

Australia Cup action live on YouTube for NZ viewers at 9:30pm tonight

Bonnyrigg White Eagles v Oakleigh Cannons | Australia Cup Round of 32 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A72Neg3w93g

Seems that game isn't until the 21st, so someones mucked up their scheduling on YouTube.

Just looking at the Round of 32 schedule and George Ott's Melbourne Knights are nowhere to be seen. Did they just not qualify for the Round of 32?

Nope, they got knocked out. They are in a rebuilding phase. One of the youngest squads I read somewhere. 

Was looking forward to seeing Ott in the Australia Cup, heard he has already scored some goals for the Knights but I haven't had a chance to see him playing in the NPL.

The Australia Cup starts back up tonight. Should be the same link as previously posted.

All matches kick off at 9:30pm tonight.

Bergers vs Roar should be a good one. A few ex A-League players in the Bergers side, Ivan Franjic, Adrian Zahra, Rueben Way, Kaine Sheppard & Brendon White.

I also hope Charlie Austin is in the starting line up for the Roar.

Franjic and White facing their former side.
