either way it's not going to be ideal, especially given the international games being played and our injuries. The squad is looking pretty thin and player welfare has to be taken into consideration as well as giving us home games.
playing on saturday, travelling to wellington and playing on thursday and then travelling to auckland and playing on Sunday and then playing Weds/Thursday after travelling back to Aus is in no way ideal. Its bordering on unsafe.

With that sort of schedule you'd really have to use the full squad. But I'm sure the club are desperate to have a couple of home games with big gates & reconnecting with the fans.

If that means having to rest senior players, and bring in the youngsters for 1-2 games over a schedule like that - you just do it. So if there are a few more 4-0 drubbings like the Jets on the weekend, you just have to roll with it. Learnings for the kids.

At the moment 2 of the interstate trips (Melb City 1st April & Roar 6th April), will be over fairly early on. So hopefully mid April can just be NSW & NZ games. But yeah we be a tough 5 weeks, that is hopefully pretty injury free.

Roar & VUC also have to play 11 games to finish their seasons. Glory & Jets 10 games.

But yeah Melb City & Adelaide both with 7 games only to play - that's a much lighter playing load. And Melb City has great depth as it is.
