I look at this differently, don’t get me wrong, I love the Golden Generation players but remember pre 2006 the so called Golden boys failed to qualify for 7 World Cups. In fact they struggled to get past countries like Israil, Scotland, Iran and yes New Zealand. Where as our post 2006 Socceroos filled with some A-League players have qualified for 4 World Cup in a row and won the 2015 Asian Cup, so let’s not underestimate our post 2006 Socceroos achievements.
Who should replace the Mariners?
When will FFA put together a serious free to air television commercial Promoting the A-League.?? Why is this so difficult…You cannot excite mainstream Australia to watch the A-League if they don’t see and hear about it and know when the games are on tv. Like the AFL we did to be in peoples faces all the time.
I'm not sure how much more of the A-League I can take
Mike, agree with most of your comments. I have friends and relatives all over the world and they watch the A-League When they can and say it’s of a good quality. The AFL is so far up all the media’s backside, for example the night following the A-League Final channel 9 here in Melbourne did not report on it at all, seriously!! A Melbourne team in a GF vs Sydney and that does warrant a spot in the 6pm evening news, common..!! Not to mention it’s the first Football league in Australia to finish its season during cov19..amazing channel 9.!!

Tim Tuckerman, I agree with most of your article. The A-League is of a good standard as I have family and friends around the world who watch our League and say it’s actually pretty good. We as lovers of Australian Soccer are simply treated as second rate citizen. The AFL is so far up all media outlets that they simply get whatever they want When ever they want it and must have an entire department dedicated to demolishing Australian Soccer wherever possible. The night following the AL Frand Final channel 9 didn’t ever report on it, seriously!! Here in Victoria!! So a Melbourne team is in the GF and that doesn’t make the sport section of the 6pm news, really!!
Who should replace the Mariners?
Sydney look like a team that’s running out of ideas, Melbourne City and Wellington are looking good, watch out for Brisbane and Western United are the dark horse.
The Roar's A-League expert tips and predictions: 27 in 34 (Part 4)
Keep the Mariners in, too much history and good player development. Regarding other states and new teams..let’s get Canberra and Tasmania happening before AFL get in. Another Victorian team from Dandenong and a second team from New Zealand should seriously be conceded.
