High time the FFA actually stopped rigging the draw for this

The people are enjoying the NPL v HAL clashes

The ****ers at FFA HQ are doing draws to limit these clashes

How about next year
Rd 32 all 10 HAL teams play an NPL team ??

Then we have a random draw for Rd 16 onwards

Magic would be disappointed with the defeat.
Had a few chances. Going in 1-0 at half time would’ve been a massive boost for them. Maj missed a header from 6yds out. He’d normally bury it.

And the save from Bradbury's chance right on half time was terrific.

Also, I'd like to announce to the forum that after years of waiting, GazFish has paid me the tenzo chicken wings I was owed - thought it as substituted for a can of beer last night.

I was satisfied with this trade because it meant I could catch up with Gaz.

For those wondering, it was a XXXX.

This matter has been resolved.

Bugger.

I never tasted the quality of the chicken wings at the tenzo to compare to a cold tinny of XXXX.

Bloody Gaz got me again. I enjoyed the company nonetheless.

And you've just given Plague another footer quote

I'd rather take the drink driving charge than drink that swill.

You need to visit the beer thread and get some advice from all those flanno wearing chubby blokes with long beards.

In our swisscup.. the only fixing of the draw is that in rounds 1 (64 Teams) and 2 (32 Teams) Super League(1st League) teams cant play each other... Small clubs getting to host teams like FC Basel or FC Zurich is great....

That precisely thge idea

Get the HAL teams out to play NPL sides and stop rigging it so two HAL sides like us and Heart are forced to play one another which is actually just denying somne of the NPL sides who have made it to Rd 32 Rd 16 etc an opportunity to play a big team before their fans etc

Yeah I'm with the idea of ditching the two pots draw.

It's great for NPL teams to draw an A-League side. Fox/FFA can promote more giant-killings, magic of the cup etc. I think the competition has matured to that point and it is the natural next step

I think this is a really good point and I totally agree.
In its foundations i think it needed that interest from clubs to be able and somewhat likely to progress into the next round. But I think all clubs can see the value in it now and would be jumping at the chance to play an a league team.

Thanks.

Initially the idea would have been to get as many non-A-League sides as deep into the competition as they could, evidenced by the fact the draw was planned so at least one made the semi-final. Now it's not seen as a foregone conclusion the A-League teams win and more a reward to play them (financially and in terms of exposure) than a punishment.

I suppose the counter-argument will be "who has an interest in an all A-League semi final" but realistically the Semi Final is played when the A-League season has started anyway and it brings it's own challenge around managing and extra midweek game round or two.

If this change is made, the next logical step for me is to put some reward on winning the comp - like a spot in an FFA Charity Shield (against the Grand Final winners - or League winners/2nd place if the same) and eventually an ACL spot.

I think the next step of the FFA Cup should be expanding to a national round of 64.

Or at minimum a national qualifying round.
For example the qualifying round would be 44 federation member Clubs with 22 winners going into the round of 32 with the 10 A-League Clubs.

How are clubs assisted/subsidised for travel? Is it at their own expense?

That would be an inhibitor I'd predict.

Could minimise this by having the round of 64 draw regional. Much like the first round of the League Cup in England. Get rid of the draw rigging from Rnd 32 on and just have regional (North/South) or state based pots for the round of 64.

The two pot draw really should be a thing of the past.

I'd rather see a seeded draw and an actual set bracket for at least the Round of 16 onwards, if not Round of 32.
That way everything is clear and in black and white and there can be no claims of fixed "random" draws

The fact WSW have taken barely any games to Penrith is a bit of a joke. Especially while their stadium is being renovated.

if they had any clue they would have been splitting them between Penrith and Campbelltown and Belmore and establishing their presence in Wetern Sydney more

hardly the most promoted game of the season now is it? I only realised it was on today when I looked up something else on the telstra football app

its kind of sad seeing Brilliante turn from a once promising footballer into nothing but a hacking disruptor.
I cant see how anyone would enjoy their football being told to carry on like that.
