The Roar's A-League Men tips and predictions: Round 26 - the jostle for finals positions is on in earnest
Here is the way the Roar expert panel sees all the action unfolding across the final weekend of play prior to the semi-finals.
We have been cheated by the FFA’s response to the Video Assistant Referee malfunctioning, potentially costing the Newcastle Jets their first A-League championship since the 2007-08 season.
An issue with the Hawk-Eye system saw Kosta Barbarouses’ goal stand, even though three Victory players were offside.
Yes, it was early on in the match, but the goal was the deciding factor in Victory claiming their fourth A-League championship.
This is a disappointing way to end one of the most exciting A-League finals series we have seen. It was a shock for the most dominant team of the season, Sydney FC, to be knocked out in front of their home crowd last Saturday.

I hope David Gallop comes forward this week to explain why the VAR really failed in the grand final, and why it led to some of the most ridiculous calls over the course of the season.
