After a very dull first half, it has really come alive now.

All over, Victory win 4-0.  How on earth they lost to Western Sydney Wanderers is mind boggling. 

Seeing Dura in Victory colours is so vomit inducing.

Heat preparedness actions that might have seemed unnecessary a couple of weeks ago could save Auckland FC as soon as this weekend.

Even before the temperatures in Australia were rising to record levels, at their training base in Albany Auckland FC players were training in jackets, reminiscent of raincoats, while the sun shone to ready themselves for hot temperatures during A-League games across the Tasman.

The "heat exposure" jackets and three times a week sauna sessions are part of what the players are doing this season to bridge the gap between home and away conditions.

Jets leading at half time due to the penalty they scored. 

Meanwhile Adelaide women (at home) are leading Melbourne City 2 nil

In the Sydney Civil war match it is 1-1

I don't care who it is, I'm happy for any A League club to see the crowds return.
The League needs all the good news stories it can get.

Though maybe happier for the 'box office' Jets than say if it was VUC.

Agreed. A few more of these 12k+ crowds will no-doubt really help boost their coffers for this season and next. Will only help the league to have one-less struggling team.

Plus, the Jets really are box-office viewing at the moment!

Did some searching and it's their biggest home crowd in all competitions since the 17/18 GF when they finished runners-up. Over 29k showed up for that. Also the last season they actually made finals. The season after that they had one match which was attended by close to 12k.

I'm happy for them and hope they go all the way, Newcastle winning the league any day over Auckland.

Was on the outer at his Championship side. Played 180 odd Premiership games, 130 odd Championship games. Former Scottish international. Definitely one of the best pedigrees we have seen in the ALm recently. 1-1

Happy we picked up a win against them when we did. 

And is Kosta injured? Off at half time in the derby otherwise. I wonder if that will refocus selectors minds?

On the subject of which- Woud benched for Sail. Cold.

 The only thing more interesting than this is if AFC picked up Matt Ridenton for next season!

Sail hurts his standing leg from a goal kick (apparently might have dislocated his knee), Woud comes on and 10 mins later gets lobbed from a route one Wootton assist.

Apart from goal kicks I don't think Woud has touched the ball yet. Both his goal kicks direct into touch. To be fair a bit of breeze now.
