Can the Victory reach 50,000 and beyond?

They probably will but that's to be expected given their success this season. It's not too hard to draw a crowd when you're winning all the time. The real test will come when they eventually have a poor season. The tough times are what give a true indication about any teams level of support. Hopefully most of their fans will stick around but we'll wait and see. Of course these tough times could be a fair few years away but the history of the A-League shows that teams rarely stay on top for long.

EPL lacking drama for end of season finale

True. This season does have a much less thrilling finish than last seasons, or even most previous seasons. While the title race is often over by the last round there is almost always a relegation battle still going on which, to be frank, is probably the most interesting part of the final day. As a side note, imagine what Wigan fans must have gone through over the past week? From the high of winning the FA Cup to the low of being relegated, all within a few days. You have to wonder how they feel right now.

Swans can’t wait for Tippett to save them

Well said.The issue is that, with Johnson and LRT injured, we don't have enough height in defence. Rampe was playing as the 3rd tall but he's only 187cm. There was a period where we had to play Rampe on Hale and Hale has about 15cm on him! Where the Hawks really got us was with their tall forwards. Roughead kicked 4 while Hale, Buddy and Gunston each kicked 3. Richards and Grundy are good, but they can't cover 4 tall options at a time. A team with a tall forward line could really hurt us until LRT returns, though thankfully not many teams have the same quality as the Hawks in that department.
