Well that was a fun evening, mabe now the negative nellies out there will turn te corner and se the positivity that the rest of us see and hope for.
From the first team perspective, 
Hughes looked great, he has definately matred and too the leadership of the back line by the scruff of the enck ad controlled everything. Best performance by him I think I've seen.
Josh O. - one little whoopsie early on but he made up for that a did very well for the rest of his minutes.
Ishige and Nagasawa looked decent against the bigger bodies, albeit for 45 mins but they loked happier with what they were being aske todo.

The academy and central league kids looked brilliant, the future is bright if we can keep them at the club and bring them into the 1st team as time allows. From front to back they loked agile, fast and good with the ball.

As much as it is preseason for everyone, this should at least show that our league is top level League 1 to mid level championship. Two out of three wins for the league is enough to prove that the league is doing well as far as development of players and being able to foot it with the upper leagues in Europe. The coverage of this trip will get eyes on the league for transfer options
I love the A-League, it genuinely is my favourite league in the world and I'll harp on about what makes it great to anyone who listens - but it's not mid-level championship, nor even bottom half. Most teams would be about league one level, with a few exceptions. The Sydney FC squads from 2016-2020 would probably have been alright in the championship, and of late some Melbourne city seasons would've given it a good go. Other than that in the last decade the standard has definitely been well below the championship.
