Melbourne Victory are now the 4th club to join the 40 club (goals conceeded in a season).  Also both Newcastle and Sydney may well finish in the top 6, but both teams will have lost more games than won.

Out of interest since the nix don't have a match on the 22nd, will they be playing a local team instead?

What games remaining do each of them have?

Heart : Roar (A) CCM (A)

Glory: Victory (A) Adelaide (H)


Decent chance of both sides picking up 0 points. Heart are terrible away and Glory have two of the top 4 teams. 


Our game against the Victory looks like there might actually be something to play for.

We must win 17-0 to get the goal difference sorted.  Nothing less will do.

Sure it will. If Heart lose both of their games, we just need a draw to overtake them.

We really stuffed the Glory's chances. A win would have taken them to 5th on goal difference. I hope Sydney, Newcastle and Brisbane appreciate what we did for them.

I'm thinking Sydney and Roar.
Frank Farina is looking like a fucking genius getting those twats off the floor.

I've been thinking that for a few weeks now. Sydney are getting all the help they need from the FFA and Farina has completely turned their season around, whereas Brisbane look much better than the dire Jets and Glory, even if they haven't been getting all the results the need.

I agree Patrick. Roar look miles better. The Jets are awful and I am just surprised that they sat this high for so long. The Glory sold off too many players and now they do look like a rabble.

Table since Greenacre took over:




Greenies record - 1-2 loss to Newcastle, 1-0 nil win over heart, 2-1 loss to WSW and 1-2 win against Perth.  So that's 6 points, but you've got 7.  Which game have i forgotten?

Press release from Central Coast Mariners says that they will play their semi final at Bluetongue Stadium on Sunday 14 April (5.30pm local kick off).


It also says that Western Sydney Wanderers will play their semifinal at Paramatta on Friday 7 April at 7.30pm local time, so that makes me doubt the accuracy of the other fixture time.

7 April falls on a Sunday this year, so guessing the porkies are being told about the WSW game.

If you look at all the matches played between the NSW teams so far in the league, this is what the table looks like:

I like that there is a battle between 1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th and 5th through to 9th.  Heart could still make the playoffs if other results go their way.

The 6 team playoff system really does work in this sense. If it was top 4, then 6 teams would have been effectively eliminated two months ago, and would have nothing to play for. With six teams, there will be at least 8 teams looking to improve their spot in the playoffs heading into the final round.
