How many of those 8 finals games have been at home?
Only two of them by my maths??

Elimination final – 2015 losing 0-2 to Melbourne City
2nd leg semi final - 2024 losing 1-2 to Melbourne Victory

That MCY game was an awful listless performance, but the VUC one had plenty of drama and could have gone either way.

But yeah the Nix have too many times finished 5th or 6th, and gone out playing the elimination game in Aussie. Less a mental state thing, and more a need to be in the top four thing. Plus the 2020 finals game against Perth in Sydney, should have been in NZ if not for Covid.
