Bertos gave Glory a 1-0 lead at the half, but 2nd half goals to the Black Brockie and the A-League's 6th best Brazilian gave Adelaide back to back titles.

Currently a 9 man Queensland are up 3-1 over the Mariners near the end of the match.

How's my driving? - Whine here

Good to see Bertos scoring. Hopefully he can replicate that during the season.

Just a quick question, apart from the kiwi's at the Phoenix, and Bertos with Perth Glory, are there any other NZer's in the a-league?

Adelaide aren't exactly underdogs. :P

Melbourne is my 2nd team I guess though I feel a bit dirty supporting them. I did support them vs Sydney on Sat though. My Dad is a Victory supporter and I live here so meh. Stil far far far far far behind Welly.

It was a good result for Adelaide though it is only the pre-season cup.  Still, Cassio is looking sensational as a LWB and it is good to see Bruce Djite getting amongst the action once again.  Burns appeared to be a bit out of place in the mid-field and really needs to be left as a striker on the right.  I still have a feeling that '07/'08 is going to be Bruce's year.  From all accounts Jonas seems to be settling in well, the team structure was crying out for someone of his type so it has been a good fit.

Pretty good bet, really. 2nd last year and have won the last 2 pre season cups.
