Thought I'd start a thread for the other games in this round so I could post this article about the NRL (possibly) scheduling 7 games in Sydney this weekend to try to undermine the crowd numbers at the Sydney derby: http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/clash-of-the-week-nrl-vs-aleague-in-sydneys-heartland-20140304-343fm.html

Don't know whether to believe it or not but still shows that the HAL is gaining traction if this sort of article can be published in a paper.

Believe it. The NRL stooges are certainly worried about this new monster in their midst.

Well apparently the derby's already sold out so I guess NRL's plan didn't work :)

Pretty poor quality from both victory and CCM thus far (15 mins gone).

I know, I know, its serious!

Victory in particular dire. Thought they would have been fired up after last weeks debacle. Not so.

Fitzgerald should be tarred and feathered for missing that header. CCM have certainly paid for it.

HT 1-0 to MV.

Generally I enjoy the A League games but this a dull affair of almost embarrassingly poor quality. Sometimes I don't think the league has progressed much at all.

Also a shame to see that one of the best surfaces in the league has been buggered up by making AAMI too a 'multi-event' stadium. Honestly, was there nowhere else Springsteen could've played? Why not Etihad or some other place? The standard of footy is never going to improve if teams are made to play on these paddocks.

FT 3-1 to MV. Kosta a tap-in at the death.

Not the best advertisement for the A-League. And MV now third? There's hope for us yet. Surely.

The fact that this Victory side is third in the league says a lot about the overall quality of the league this season.

Kosta got to run 50m and no one even looked at him or tracked him. Awful defending

I think that is a bit harsh. Victory have enough firepower to punish teams, despite having a horrendous defence.

The league has some teams playing quality football atm, its just they are further down the table because they had slow starts to the season. With a salary capped league and small squads, its really hard for a team to be on top of their game all season.The football being played by Adelaide, Heart, to a lesser extent Roar is easily on par with WSW, CCM, Victory last season.

That's good, if Kosta can run 50m and score on Friday night after a game in Japan, our lot can run even more and score on Sunday.

Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

Yes, especially since they have had two 0-5 thumping's and a 0-4.

Perhaps, but Dura and Ben are not 24 years old.

Jets vs Heart HT 0:0

Not good to watch. Can't remember Heart had single shot on goal.

What is really getting to me is that if we don't win tomorrow then we have both these teams away in the next two games, and that won't be easy.

Just catching the end of this now. At least the local farmer got his cattle off the paddock before kickoff I guess. Looks like a disappointing crowd too.

Just saw a crowd shot and some of the RBB were shirtless. I thought that after our win in Gosford we'd established that that was illegal in Australia?
