Aussie State Leagues
South Australia is probably similar to the pointy end of the NZFC, and then Queensland and Western Australia just behind but still around NZFC level. This just based on players who have gone to play in these leagues and where they fitted in to the NZ scheme of things and views of people who have seen NZFC and State League matches.
Once confirmed can you let me know who they are with there ?
From the VPL GF, after the Heart/Nix game.
Earlier a flare was let off by them, hitting the roof of AAMI Park, then rebounding into a female Thunder supporter, sitting nearby.
Also, a Thunder player (#5 Bryan Bran) was struck by an unknown projectile, coming from the over excited Thunder supporters.
Didn't he trial with us last year?
I recall some series of puns involving said Bran.
Bran did, he got couple stories on FourFourTwo also. Maybe he will be picked up for a NYL side. I guess the Aussie media will be all over the flares, especially if someone did get burned, a few people on twitter reckon it was a kid.
40k fine and 10-game lockout for Dandenong Thunder as a result of the flares at FFV Grand Final. #ffv
Looks like 4 Kiwis in the VPL this season:
Green Gully Cavaliers
Brent Fisher
Jeffrey Fleming
Jason Hayne
Hume City
Dakota Lucas
Didn't see any names I recognize in NSWPL match reports.
Drama on the last round of the NSWPL. 1st & 2nd teams lose letting Pav's Sydney United jump from 3rd to win the Premiership.
The Guardian just put out a story saying arrests had been made in regards to match fixing in the VPL. Southern Stars FC apparently.
Just read a similar article here will find a link)
RESULT | @SydUtd58FC down @Olympic_FC 4-3 in an enthralling #NPL semi final. Mirjan Pavlovic scored the winner to complete a hat-trick.
That's a pretty big step for the Malaysia FA to take.. I assume they will have to put up the team and pay for travel costs etc.
My only question is, is it worth it? I mean, how much better is the Malaysian 2nd tier compared to NPL QLD?
I think they've actually been playing in the S league and they don't consider that good enough for U22 development. I'm just amazed FFA/Queensland have/will let them. Guess there is plenty of Malaysaian money behind it and Asian Cup synchronicity would help.
Makes me think Welnix could consider some left field possibilities for Phoenix Youth; if money was available.
A player collapsed and died in the NSW NPL tonight. Tragic.
NSW Premier League final. Apia Leichardt v Manly United. Croud 3,364. Nil-nil after 75 minutes.

Manly United win it! First time since 1995. Facebook peaked at +1,500 viewers
Jason Culina leaves Sydney United after just 8 games as coach (4 wins, 4 losses).
Tratty Tratt Tratt
De Jong regularly appears in the team of the week
THE Queensland NPL will be without Cairns representation next season with Cairns FC days away from folding as a club.
The Cairns Post can reveal Cairns FC will hand back their NPL licence following the 2018 season, which will finish this Saturday afternoon with the team to play their final game as a club against SWQ Thunder FC.
Just a day after Cairns FC took it to a heavyweight of Australian football in Sydney FC, there will be no Far North representation in the NPL from 2019, following attempts by different groups to make Cairns FC, and the FNQ Heat before them, feasible in the competition.
Unbelievable scenes in the #NPLVICFinals tonight! Avondale with 3 goals in last few minutes to to come from 3-1 down to 4-3 winners over Bentleigh!

Oggies in the 116th & 118th minute and a Germano free kick in the 120th min for the winner.
Wow, sounds epic. Is there any highlights of it?

Sounds like the bookmakers had an influence!
Despite losing to TW today feel that ES are a better chance of qualifying for OFC Champions League football this season, so probably carrot for de Jong to hang around til end of Handa Prem season, and try and get ES into the Handa final.
After that he maybe lining up some club trials in the European summer anyway, or just giving his body a rest from endless back to back football seasons.

if only we could do that here
Just watching a live stream now. Fantastic quality, with commentary. Should definitely be doable at the Handa level. Where the hell does the money go.
Anyone know which club Branko Culina is most closely associated with theses days?
