Seems like June 25th will be the Round of 32 fixture draw.

Shame, now SMFC can only beat them 4 times this season rather than 5

In all instances, Auckland FC and Wellington Phoenix FC will be deemed the Away Club, irrespective of whether it is the first drawn Club. However, in the event Auckland FC and Wellington Phoenix FC are drawn together, the match will be played in New Zealand at the home ground of the first drawn Club.

That's an interesting development that we could potentially see the first ever Australia Cup game played outside of Australia - although I'd prefer not as I would like us to be able to push on in this tournament and actually challenge for it - which I don't rate our chances of doing currently if we were to face AFC

Honestly, it would be awesome if it happened and for the Nix a fantastic gate if they were the home team.

So we have a trip to Tasmania! Oops, no we're just listed beside them.

Draw on the 25th

And games played over two weeks in July (right when I’m moving house, so no FeverTua to Tassie for me even if we are drawn against them).

Edit: I wonder how the timing will work out with the Wrexham game?

Wrexham game is weeks before the round of 32

Perth Glory in the ro32 honestly could be worse

Distance derby all over again! And AFC get the Gold Coast Knights.

I think this has been asked before, but are Sutton and Wootton eligible to play for the Glory in the Cup?

Yeah apparently because this year the playoff games were played during last season they count as last season so they won't be cup tied - Although I don't think I've seen an official source for this

If they do end up cup tied, Brian Kaltak would also be cup tied for Perth

Bit of a pain, having to haul themselves all the way to Perth for this one. 

Am sure they would have preferred a weekend on the Gold Coast.

Hope all the Perth newbies play as it will be good to see them

How were these games televised in NZ last year?

they are live on the you tube channel

So based off this, Scott Wootton, Sam Sutton (and Brian Kaltak) are all free to play for Perth Glory against Wellington Phoenix in the Australia Cup. Seems fair to have amended that rule. https://t.co/5iMIqxkYuc pic.twitter.com/nE3qRhuphF

Phillip Rollo confirming the rule change and that they won't be cup tied

Edit: Although credit should really go to Ethan Fransen who found the rule change and pointed it out to Phillip Rollo:

Rules have changed for 2025, specifically clause C deals with Sutts/Wootshttps://t.co/lQWAaENa6H pic.twitter.com/2wyii6kPiv

Everyone else gets a non Aleague team FFS.  Well that's us done. 

To add, the football gods clearly hate us, we have the most expensive trip to make in the comp and we have one of the tightest budgets.

If ACFC can draw against Boca, I'm sure we can draw at Perth and win the penalty shoot out. 

No there are two other games which are solely A league teams.

Snakes verses Sydney
Newcastle verses Adelaide

Absolutely. Perth aren’t even any good.

That mentality of always playing the victim is a right load of shark.

Perth have invested a lot of money in their squad this year. it's like they are going for broke and will either tear up the A League or go broke.

So the Wrexham game is 19th July and r32 Cup game vs Perth will be in the weeks following???
Thats less than a month away. Considering how quiet its been on transfer front we will probably have a lean squad with mainly the kids. Perth have significantly strengthened their squad. It will be a tough game. Im not confident

We still have a lot of senior players, I expect a side much closer to full strength in the round of 32 this year than what we usually serve up for the round of 32. We really just need to add a single forward to have a half decent side.

We lost 3 starters since the last game. LKH is a downgrade on Sutts but can do a job in the A-League. Payne proved he can fill in for Wootts at CB when he played there last season, until we get a new CB, and Sheridan or Piper are decent RB understudies. 

The bigger issue is whether Chiefy can instill some confidence and coherency into the team in July. Hard to be hopeful on that front but we hope regardless

window for signings in ALM is from July 1, so we wont be getting any announcements until after then.

Eight days seems like a decent rest between games even with the travel, could’ve been a lot rougher on our players.
