A leak indicating we have a home blockbuster reward first up....v Wello.
Melbourne Derby in Saturday night....no GF replay.
Lets see how accurate it is.

Tbh, Ono had a huge impact in his years at WSW: didn't they win the ACL when he was there?
But the key point is, he was part of a solid team, as opposed to ADP or Heskey who ended up in embarrassing teams.
I agree it doesn't make much sense from a "league" point of view to chase players like Torres (or Crouch, I thought he was retired...) when they are unable to retain players like Adrian, who added a lot of quality to the league last season. Why didn't they invest part of the $4m "marquee fund" on Adrian?
Apparently the draw is released today.
Rumours I've seen have us v Wellington at home Round 1

FFA called a media conference at midday, so maybe it's the draw being released...
Great fanfare that.

Perth away over Oz Day long weekend, boom!
Yet multiple home days rock!
I think it's a reasonable draw. Evening games through the hotter summer months. Two arvo games (both away) between end of December and end of Feb.
2 games in Melbourne in 6 days.
Coast away just before Christmas
Perth games away are all reasonable times for travel
We don't leave the state in February.

Why is round 11 played after round 12? Is that a typo?

He's still trash, of course...
He sounds like a dick.
