Either trip isn't great for us, at least we can stay in Sydney after the Macarthur game if it's WSW.
Yes that's the very optimistic view. I had thought CCM would be the best playoff prospect (Nix unbeaten against them this season), but if we are hoping to strike team a bit down on form then it's the Reds.
And yes the APL will be very pleased, a highly likely Sydney playoff derby. Townsend blows a big kiss to Tilio.
I’m coming around to it. All finalists get one at least one finals game at home.
I feel we’d do better with a second sold out cake tin, but if it guarantees some money/concessions to all the clubs then perhaps it’s okay.
It’s a bit of a disadvantage of a GF against a NSW team, but then again I value being Premiers as a greater achievement than Champions.
Missed two sitters and let the smallest man on the pitch win a header against him. Not the best day in the office for him.

Ooo an playoff trip in Adelaide, can't wait for that! To be honest between the Reds and WSW it hardly matters. They could both rip us to shreds.
Kitto with a consolation goal, 1-4
Tilio wins it late, Danny T gets his Sydney Derby. 3-2
I guess the positive in the Adelaide result is that they now haven't won in their last four games and have conceded eight in the last two games. If we don't fall over in a heap against Macarthur (and it's a fairly big if) we might catch the Reds in a slightly vulnerable state of mind. That's the optimistic viewpoint anyway.
If we qualify it's 99% chance we play Adelaide away then (only way we can qualify and that not happen would be if we have a 6 goal turn around on Sydney's GD, e.g they lose by 3 and we win by 3).
Need a point to guarantee qualifying though, lose to the Bulls and there will be some nervous watching of the other matches (particularly the Perth one which is after ours).
Adelaide smashed us last time, but they have been conceeding a lot of goals lately so are beatable if we can find a way to shut down Goodwin.

Yawn, 0-0 at HT in Victory/Roar
I fell asleep, Roar wins 0-1
Western beat the Glory 1-2, with Beevers getting sent off by managing to get two yellows within 2 minutes of each other.
Don't want Sydney to win but I can't bring myself to cheer for Western. Ugh, can both teams lose the ALW Grand Final?
Sydney get an early goal. 0-1
Sydney double their lead from a corner. 0-2
Western creating plenty of half chances atm but can't convert. 0-2
Penalty for Sydney & commentary has no idea what for. Ibini converts, 0-3
And another in stoppage time. It has been all Sydney this half, 0-4
The Cove is boycotting the whole Final Series but RBB is turning up on Saturday night & will review their decision based on the match result. So Saturday night will be a bit strange.
Incidentally, us beating Adelaide is exactly what the APL wants. That guarantees a NSW team in the Grand Final.

If the Nix beat Adelaide and we get the 2 legged semi against City, Do the Nix get to keep the gate receipts this time?? Remember when we needed the money yet the FFA did their big grab.
APL gets the Finals cash this time iirc,
C'mon Sydney cuz eff Rudan.
Penalty for WSW, 1-0
Wiggle fail.
Helluva save by Thomas. Sydney pressing hard.
Was coming. Good game this, extra time would be nice.
Alfie!! 1-2
Too easy.
How did Marcelo miss that?!

Dunno if its the teams involved or the fact it is a two legged final but not really that excited about tonight's match up. Hopefully City wins this one tho.
A disgrace playing a finals match on a surface as bad as this. Glover nearly caught out by a shocking bobble.
Leckie powers in a header, VAR does its best to rule it out but Kersey, to his credit, sees common sense and allows it.

Le Fondre puts a re-taken penalty away for Sydney.

Finishes 1-1. Think Sydney would be pretty happy with that. Bit of luck and better finishing and they might have won it.
Fark that is so unlucky for Kaltak. Cross flicks off Ibusuki up onto Kaltak's arm, penalty. Which Goodwin duly puts away.
1-0 to the Reds after 3 mins.
