Somewhere out in the open plains of Australia's footballing landscape, there's a wide gaping chasm. It separates most from a privileged few, and swallows…

Cheers AP! Not too shabby yourself. Dare to dream indeed…
Result aside, was a super night and hats off to all involved. Hopefully more grassroots clubs get to experience the same buzz in the coming rounds.
Now get off the computer and start focusing on Saturday… 3 points please.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Why I left my heart in Brazil
Haha oh yeah, not many Fred fans over there let me tell you.
Agreed. There’s is the type of culture that’s built into football, and not the other way around.

Some friends of mine were a part of that. I agree, consistency is needed, but you need to have the right set of precedents to follow that line of thought.
Pitch invasion probe warranted or a marker of the FFA nanny state?
