The Roar's A-League Men expert tips and predictions: elimination finals
Mariners v Nix is the grand final that that the competition deserves. Full stop. Well done to both sides for having a great season and showing up the rest of the league.
Central Coast Mariners clinch A-League Premiership with win over Adelaide
Just in from the club:
“A-Leagues’ greatest goalscorer to bid farewell to City at season’s end
After five and a half seasons, 163 games, 115 goals, four Golden Boots, and six trophies, Jamie Maclaren will bid farewell to Melbourne City FC at season’s end to pursue an opportunity outside of the A-Leagues.
The greatest goal scorer in league history – with 154* A-League Men’s goals – the record-breaking striker leaves the Club as a City legend.
To recognise Maclaren’s legacy, a special membership category will be created in his honour from next season, making him the first player in the Club’s history to receive this distinction and further solidifying his status as a City legend.
In recognition of the impact Maclaren has made at the Club, he and his family will also receive lifetime Melbourne City FC memberships.
Etched into Club history, Maclaren became the first player in the A-League Men’s competition to score 100 goals for a single club, highlighting his hugely successful career in City colours.
A crucial part of City’s history-making squad, the 30-year-old won three Premiers Plates and one Championship trophy during the Club’s most successful period.
Maclaren’s drive for high standards, his work ethic, and his ability to lead by example saw him named Captain of the Men’s team ahead of the 2023/24 season.
Second on the Club’s all-time appearance list, Maclaren departs as the greatest striker in A-Leagues history.
Paying tribute to Maclaren’s tremendous contribution to the Club, Melbourne City FC Director of Football, Michael Petrillo, said:
“Jamie embodies everything we stand for as a Club, he’s been an outstanding footballer for us and an exceptional role model for his teammates and young fans.
“On the pitch, his name will remain in the record books forever. Not only is he the league’s greatest ever goal scorer, but he also made an enormous contribution to our Men’s team during their most successful period.
“Jamie leaves City a legend, and with his family, will always be welcome back at our Club.”
Reflecting on his time at City, Jamie Maclaren, said:
“It’s a bittersweet moment for me to leave the Club that I’ve called home for the past five and a half years.
“I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve been able to achieve here, both personally and as a team. I came here to help bring success to this Club and I leave knowing that I played my role in that, where together we’ve made so many fond memories and shared so much success.
“To my teammates, the staff and our amazing supporters, I want to say thank you for making my time here so special.”
On behalf of the entire Club, we would like to thank Jamie for his incredible contribution and wish him every success in the next chapter of his career. He will always have a home at Melbourne City.”
Wanderers' season ends, Nix stay alive in premiership race, Perth humiliated again

On the City playing style. When we’re good and on song, knocking the ball around quickly we’re pretty ruddy good. But we play with just one style. Shrewd opponents know that they just need to be defensively minded, hold a defensive line, suffocate our play and wait till we’ve exhausted ourselves knocking the ball round, sideways, backwards, and then pounce at speed. Soooo frustrating to watch and we nearly didn’t make the finals tonight.

OMG that was terrible from City 😔
Lucky to have scrapped home. WUN can consider themselves a wee bit unlucky with the offside goal – offside by the length of a bee’s proverbial 😱
Now to get mauled by the Vucks next Sunday arvo.
Vidmar OUT

OK, take dog for walk now and meet the neighbourhood. Clear the brain. Forget about Vucks last night lying down so WSW leapfrog City – disgusting, I demand an inquiry 👎 👎 👎
Have nice lunch with missus, a glass of red or two. Then meditate over a few YouTube music clips – maybe the gentle sounds of The Saints and (I’m) Stranded. Pack bag with train ticket in hand, meet fellow supporters, consume a pre-game beer and we strap ourselves in for The Final Countdown.
….. 90 min pass …….. Heck, we win, all is right with the world 👍 👍 👍

City to cream Tarneit FC – hahahahaha
Nix to win and finish top when Jets do over the Marinators
SFC and Perf to play out a boring nil all draw 😂

I guess it doesn’t have to be spectacular. It just has to be respectful to football, its traditions and the players, past and present.
APL's spin doctoring insults Australian football fans' intelligence - and might well be the last straw

APL's spin doctoring insults Australian football fans' intelligence - and might well be the last straw
Grem, it has always been thus in Victoria. The AFL protects it’s ‘product’ and is reluctant to give way to football, which it has always seen as a threat. It is this way now, it will always be this way. The AFL has been masterful and successful in cultivating grass roots and political support.
It's time the APL came clean on the state of the game in the A-Leagues
Crickets from the APL. It’s way toooo embarassing because the smart business people on the board were asleep at the wheel while Danny was spending like there was no tomorrow.

While I have difficulties with CFG, I don’t think you can single it out in the way you have. I see it this way:
“[A-league/NPL club] don’t want Australia to develop good players, they want [A-league/NPL club] to develop good players.”
Surely Marconi, South Melbourne, Roar, etc, etc spend money to boost their own club and if it has a flow on beneficial impact on the wider Australian football ecosystem then that’s an added bonus. Surely.
