Good points Marcel. I’m not sure what the thought was at the time the switch to summer was made. I do know that the successful teams of the last 30 plus years have all played in European winters though

The A-League has a new look, but can it win back some old fans?

I’m not saying pure strength JB, more that a high tempo attacking game, like Liverpool, suits us more than a possession without purpose approach ie 20 passes across the back 5, before running into trouble.
Going back to your point, a German approach suits us better than Tika Taka

They’re only want away players because they were “tapped up” by WSW. All 3 happily signed contracts

Wanderers confirm Ziggy Gordon signing, Bernie Ibini reportedly set to join him at Bankwest Stadium

JB, many of us have been saying for some time that the athleticism amd mentality of Australian footballers is suited to an aggressive, attacking game. Cooler weather in winter certainly suits that

Fair point. It comes back to appropriate, covered stadiums. In most ground in Australia I’ve been too you get soaked even under cover, bar the back of the stands.

Winter football in Newcastle would be amazing. 18-20 degrees and pretty dry

Protectionism is probably the perfect one word answer to the topic LH

Agree. If football was covered in an egalitarian way it would generate more interest and therefore a demand for more content.
Because it is consciously and deliberately ignored, except for negative stories, there is less demand.

Mind you, this is traditional mainstream media. Online content is another matter. And the future.

The majority of Australians would rather eat junk food than fine food at a restaurant . Does that make KFC better or just more popular?

Ood points Grem.
You know the game is still relevant when fans of the local sports can’t keep but cast an envious eye on the football tab.
I’d have thought the AFL world cup would keep your focus Max? International transfers from major European AFL powerhouse?

Are you suggesting Mileusnic isn’t Australian?
I really, really rate him. Just a lack of consistency is stopping SFC poaching him

Each club's state of affairs before the A-League restart: Adelaide

I’ve been a huge GB critic, but even I have to admit he’s shown plenty of improvement. Still shouldn’t be a starter in any serious team though. His touch and finishing are still below average, as is his composure.

Which shows the low bar he started with!

That’s your opinion. I disagree.

Football in Australia must unite the old with the new

Disagree Nick. The quality is much better now than at the start of the A-league. It’s certainly much higher than the NSL days. Rose coloured glasses mate.

No one is “walking” because of the standard. SFC gave raised the bar for quality. Have crowds grown? No. Quality and crowd numbers aren’t linked

Never heard of Leo Barry Stu. Can’t believe a provincial moment comes ahead of the Aloisi penalty

Australia’s ten most inspirational sporting moments

Great idea. Match highlights and reports

As sport goes into lockdown, what do you want to read on The Roar?

We missed our chance for Singapore when we kept the borders open for too long

Should the A-League still be on tonight?

Agree LH. A total shambles (remembering we’ve been planning for pandemics for decades)

No one could handle this any worse than Morrison has.

I’m a huge football fan but stopped watching or even checking results 2 weeks ago

Should the A-League still be on tonight?

Yep. Hopelessly inconsistent.

Bigger issues at play here Chris

Should the A-League still be on tonight?

There will be tens if not hundreds of thousands of job losses. Truly terribly.

Better than hundreds of thousands of lost lives though. Shut the economy down, save lives

Should the A-League still be on tonight?

No. Contact with others increases the risk of transmission.

Australia, the only country in the world that values sport over life….

Should the A-League still be on tonight?

Unfortunately too true. Astonished that people are arguing that sport is “low risk”.

I invite them to join my colleagues and I on the frontlines in another month. Our risk of death will be even higher than it should (17 dead doctors in Italy ) because people are playing sport and getting their hair cut..

Should the A-League still be on tonight?

Substitute “could explode here” to “will explode here”.

I think the gravity will finally hit when we go from 2 deaths a day to 4 to 8 to 40 to 200 to 500. The panic will begin when an AFL player or young celebrity ends up in ICU, (or dead) or when a famous older (60-70’s) person will die, the realisation that EVERYONE is at risk of death.

Close everything that isn’t important ( how the F are hairdressers open!!!). Stay home unless you absolutely have to. Sport?!!!

We are going to regret the lack of leadership and delay in acting
