Get Perf again and I'm ringing 4 Corners!

If we get Perth again we should also call in that mob who are looking into FIFA. Deadset, the fix is on if we get the purple people eaters again.

[Jeterpool]

I just hope for a home draw. I don't know if it's an advantage getting a non-A-League team. They're playing and halfway through their season and will have match fitness and sharpness. The Jets will be at worst a month into their pre-season.

I want us to take it seriously, not as a pre-season hit out, and have all available players on board (Last year we didn't have Enver). We did that last year so I've no reason to think Miller won't again.

[lquiquer]

Gypos in Gosford please

Have they changed the set up??

The last 2 years teams who finished in the Top 4 got a non HAL side in Rd 1 and the teams who finished 5-10 got drawn against each other.

I was under the impression we could only play Mariners Smurfs Nix Glory or Victree in this round.

We can't get WAnkers Roar Pissants or Heart and the non league teams until next round assuming we win a game

To me the system is shit

It should be random. NPL clubs are a long shot at drawing a HAL side. Rather ridiculous Jaffas reward could be a trip to Tasmania when I am sure they would rather a game against any HAL side

It has changed but not random.

There is now 2 pots - HAL teams and Member Federation teams

First 6 HAL teams drawn will play all A League games - 3 matches

First 18 Member Federation teams drawn will play all non league games - 9 matches

Leaves 4 A league vs Non League matches

Yeah it's changed. The A-League clubs are all in a pot. There are 3 all A-League ties and 4 A-League v Premier team ties. Then there's the rest

Would love to see Jaffas or Edgey get Gypos...

[Jeterpool]

Interesting team, the Victory. They've lost Finkler, Delpierre and Barbarouses. They've brought in Donachie and Mitch Austin off the top of my head.

A team with a few changes like us.

[Jeterpool]

Would love to see Jaffas or Edgey get Gypos...

This!

I'm excited for it already. Happy to get a home match again, not that we've had any luck.

[The Camel]

Edgeworth travel to Cairns to play FNQ Heat

[Jeterpool]

FNQ Heat v Edgy

[The Camel]

Devenport Strikers vs Jaffas

[PC14]

Rather ridiculous Jaffas reward could be a trip to Tasmania when I am sure they would rather a game against any HAL side

Preach!!!
