Good Evening everyone and welcome to The Roar for tonight’s A-League action.
Two of the leagues inform and undefeated sides in Adelaide United and Melbourne City go head to head in one of the most highly anticipated matches of the round.

Certainly feeling a lot more optimistic after the Confederations Cup. Glad to see Spiranovic back into the side, I feel as though he and Sainsbury are our best centre back pairing. If we are to go three at the back, I’d even throw Milligan in there as well to really solidify our defence which allows Ange to slot Luongo in midfield.

Waz – thanks for the comment!
From what I read, prior to last season the FFA implemented the ‘full season marquee’ which would allow the player to remain for the full season. From what I understand a guest player can stay for both a full season and limited stint.
Cahill was not signed as a guest player but signed with City on a 3 year deal, where in the third year he will involved in coaching with the City Football Group.
Victory tried to acquire a guest marquee with players such as Diamanti and Essien but were declined by the FFA.
Time to rethink the A-League guest player rule
