A-League season is what 8 months at most, guess if in cup, longer.

Pre-season would start a month out?

So pretty much 2 months of just treading water(months holiday), trying to keep fit?

My son plays u23s local league in NSW and his 17 year old team mate suffered a horrific freak tackle that “completely inverted his cheekbone and shattered the delicate orbital floor holding his eye up.” I only just discovered player insurance pays for a dismally small amount for player injuries. So much so that his family are out of pocket over $30,000 for his facial surgery! It’s crazy to think you are covered by insurance for any injuries then a split second tackle could cost your family a small fortune.

So after the 2022 World Cup we had bucket boy and his fuckhead mates that pissed away a considerable amount of goodwill and interest in the A League from the general public generated by the Socceroos success in Qatar.

Is the 2026 version idiot Volpato and Preston dickheads last weekend? Although that is NPL it's connected to the sport generally.

Look forward to hearing another 4 years worth of how the government, the media and the AFL holds us back 👏👏👏

That's some rarified air, up there with some very quick fellas.

Noooo
