How stupid is the cup-tie crap. So Stevey and Lucas get their whole preseason kneecapped because they don't have a better way of organising those playoffs than right at the end of the season? Absurd bullsh*t. 

The cup should begin at Round of 64 and include every A-League team. 

Exactly I understand the cup tie rule for like a January transfer window but makes no sense when it counts from a previous season. Either they don’t count that to the cup tie rule or organize the games not during the previous season. Classic FFA mess. 

It is a side effect of the amateur and professional seasons in Australia not being aligned. The Cup starts well before the A-League season finishes.

About the strongest lineup we could have named given injuries  and unavailability. Keen to see what Kraev offers. Reckon he'll get half an hour off the bench.

Hopefully some of the younger lads on the bench get a chance to show their wares too.

Nix 4-0. Fire the fark up!!

Be interesting to see Lewis further up the park and Laws in the midfield. Fire up!

Wootton to score from a corner. Lewis to score from outside the box. Waineo to finish a one-on-one.

Looks like we may see this as a checkup on Elliot at RB. If he is found wanting, Surman to come on and Payne to move to RB. 
Who is the likely backup for Sutton tonight if need be (touch wood)?

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

By the way, TAB does not list this game, although other three Cup games are listed and bettable.

Joshua Laws would probably drop back for Sutts if needed.

Possibly Marco Lorenz at a stretch? Although I think he plays more down the right hand side.

Was it a Pennigton pass down the middle? Awesome ball to Waine for the goal.

Lovely link up play between Barbarouses and Waine for the goal. Hopefully a sign of things to come!

That would've been a quality goal! What a ping from Wootton seems to be trying that a bit

That would've been a great goal. Great raking pass down that left hand flank. Waine just couldn't get enough on it it trouble the keeper. 

He's looking really up for this one early on too.

Waine looking like he's going to be way more clinical with his chances this season. Really looking like he's keen yo grab the bull by the horns. Kosta and him looking very tidy I partnership together too.

Is it me or does this stream keep going tits up the moment something juicy happens for us? Pass back in the midfield area no problem. Something urgent happening in the box or a potential corner? Nah forget about it bro.

Back on, just for Laws to get a yellow for getting in keeper's way.
