Don’t really understand why A-League socials never post about our teams in ACL competition? For example, why would you not highlight that Victory won 3-0 against FC Seoul last night? Very lazy stuff tbh, this should be the bare minimum.

Can’t wait for the new season.

May to Genreau to Santos. Great to see an A League club knock off a top Korean club.

Doesn't have to be a star, just someone who has distinct characteristics you enjoy watching.

For me, it's Guillermo May. He kinda reminds me of late-era Messi (stay with me) - slow but still dribbly, almost exclusively left-footed, both a playmaker and a striker, allowed to have a bit of free role. Fun watching him roam around, drift into pockets and see what he'll do with the ball.

A few from last year who I'll miss: Verstraete, Brattan, Kuen, Eze. As someone who doesn’t support a team but loves the league, one of the best parts of following it is discovering players with their own unique traits and style.

This is the name of a new bar/clubhouse that will be opening, owned by Central Coast Mariners FC, open year round. Near the stadium, and money will go from it to the Mariners women's A League team. Good for both leagues to have anything like this.

Robbie Thomson, Scott Mackinnon, Alex Brosque, Archie Thompson, Nalin Mastou, Daniel Garb, Tara Rushton, Bruce Djite, Grace Gill, Daniel McBreen, Erik Paartalu.

EDIT: Daniel McBreen has since confirmed Harper is also part of the team, but was absent for the shoot.
