Not overly bothered with the price. Just as a comparison, Sydney Kings are playing Wollongong Wolves in a pre-season game in Newcastle. Adult tickets are $30.Quote:

In a cost-conscious league, it makes sense to play teams from within your state. We're also getting paid to play there (I assume).
I've got no problem with it and doesn't bother me that we play them. Neither team is going around bragging about a pre-season friendly win.
I don't know, given how they went last season the Mariners probably would.Quote:

Looking to organise trials against AFC opposition that are in the region on preseason also.
I blame Citeh who got flogged 6-0 over there the day before.Quote:

and of course when discussing a story that happened about 6 years ago we include a big photo of Daniel Arzani and get the first quote from Robbie Slater who was no where near the story but just wanted to get his hot take in.
This is why Trump won.
I was more concerned that the game was planned for 3pm on a Saturday. During the first weekend of finals when all the AA/Over 35/45+ games are scheduled for 1 or 2pm starts.Quote:

So who is artistic enough to draw up some Griffo tenners to spend at Gosford pub?
Optus Sport have just secured all the European club football. Happy Days for me
Does this effect the BEIN coverage in Australia?Quote:

Dare say my foxtel subscription will go, and therefore my A-Leauge. Can't justify itQuote:

$100 for a yearly pass
TBF it actually not a bad deal for someone like myself

Cheers,

The app will not mirror or cast onto.tour tv though an apple tv or similar device. Already tried it
And they packed it.full of ads.
It's free access if you're with Telstra.
I installed it yesterday - free access as my mobile is with Telstra
the app seems quite shit really - issues loading data and just generally seems to not work well
layout seems quite bad too - sure I've still got to familiarise myself with it but it's not intuitive
not as bad as the Foxtel app which just flat out doesn't work at all
Check your device is compatible, it seems to only work on newer devices.
Videos won't play on my ancient iPad
it's worked previously on this new phone my work gave me
With Telstra for internet at homeQuote:

Boogaard out for 3 games with concussion.
(2 trials and the FFA cup) this may been an old article.
“The club is not in the business of taking any risks with concussion”. Interesting statement.
This the same club whom allowed their striker to play on in a GF after a head knock and then tried using concussion as an excuse for his kung fu kick??Quote:

I think Roy made some great points without going too far. It’s about time we get some honest appraisals from players and not the sugar-coated PR driven rubbish.Quote:

Jog on Clint jog on.
Well done Roy.
Just making it clear that in this league you can walk away with murder (or a ridiculous suspension) if you wear the right "big blue" jerseys.
In a final where the VAR mysteriously stopped working for 3 minutes, then started working again but mysteriously missed an elbow to Roy's face, hard enough to break a bone.
Business as usual...
clint bolton ffs :rof:
I like where he said Tsekenis was semi professional haha.
