Bloody FFA and their anti nix agenda. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if they unleashed Covid last season as the nix had a title winning team and form!! Gah!!
What hurts more looking back was the losses to Melbourne Victory who would struggle against NZ club sides and the Jets... 6 points right there or even 2 or 4 points would have put us in top 6.. ah well
Another issue to remember, is that with the regular season this time out being only 26 games long, with 12 teams that meant an uneven draw.
Nix will have played these teams 3 times by season end -
Perth
Western United
Macarthur
WSW
These teams only twice -
Adelaide
Melb City
Victory
Sydney
CCM
Newcastle
Brisbane
I presume CCM for example would have benefited by playing Newcastle 3 times (3 derbies)?
Melb City & Western United I presume both played Victory 3 times?
Hopefully next season will be even draw of 33 regular season games? Though uneven draws ain't uncommon in Aussie sport (ARL & NRL have them).
