So, who can go to the airport tomorrow to see if he's on the flight to Newcastle?

The best part about top two is the week off in the first round of finals. Means the boys can go hard out in these last couple of games knowing they have a week off before we get back into the action. Really beneficial especially for the likes of Zawada who can have small minutes off the bench with an eye to a bigger role in the last (hopefully) three games.

If he’s good to go for the final league game we should play him. As I see it we’re in the hunt for two equally important pieces of silverware in the next few weeks and if we get either I’ll be bloody stoked. Not interested in resting a key player for a potentially decisive league game in favour of what is essentially a cup game a few weeks later.

My money's on Rollo or Piney (or both) being there to see them off. They'll be quick to let the twitter-verse know.

It seems unlikely - particularly given Brisbane's owners have consistently talked about how they don't want to invest big money into the squad and want to play young local players.

And also every few years seem to fall into a crisis where they either haven't paid players, paid council for the use of facilities, paid the stadium, paid taxes, etc.

I was looking at that announcement, plus the squad they have (with players like Rojas) and was wondering how they could outspend us when they constantly seem to be on the verge of collapse. But then, that's probably why they careen from one disaster to the next.

This is just me speculating but Zawada is up in Auckland for the week break between the semis. I know he was in Auckland before for rehab? So I wonder if he’s up there again for that or just enjoying the city.

But it wouldn’t surprise me if we can’t table a good contract he’s probably looking for that Auckland FC will look to get him as it seems Maclaren is not heading there now. 

If that happens will add some spice to the derby games.

There are some AFC supporters on their FB group chat, who reckon they have the lanky Pole striker.

I love the guy but if they wanna risk him playing half the season on big wages, good for them.

Well obviously I want him to stay, but if he isn't then I'd prefer he went back to Europe.

He likes the country and the league, if we can't (or don't want to) keep him then I don't begrudge him going to Auckland.

He's a good player, but last season was the best in his career. He's spent most of his career injured and with limited game time. He's a bit of a risk.

I'm ok with him going - even if it is to Auckland.
He's been a good player for the NIX and a great ambassador for the league as a whole.
I want Aucks and the NIX to be successful next year - can only be good for the league and NZ Football.

I think him staying in NZ is a good positive sign of what NZ can offer as a place to live. That sort of value proposition benefits the NIX and AFC. But tbh I hope the best for him, I'd rather the nix spent the money on kraev and Kosta and as long as we keep those to I'd be happy for zawada getting a good opportunity and to keep seeing him in the A-league.

If he scores us a goal in a 1-0 win for the trophy I'll happily thank him wherever he goes.
