Faghani like a frustrated parent there, dishing out the yellow card to Vrakas for refusing to put his shoes on 😂

Would love to know what happened to that whole "only the captain can talk to the ref" change introduced this #ALeagueMen season.

Haven't seen any adjustment in players' behaviour, and it doesn't seem to be being enforced by the refs either.

I'm going to need someone to explain to me what the point of that two-man, kneeling attacking wall was.

Because, I mean, what the hell was that!? 😂

They might want to turn down the effects mics near the benches 😆

Some very colourful language being thrown around when that goal went in. #PERvMVC

One inexcusably lazy touch by Jackson near the halfway line => turnover => counter => goal.

Just diabolical stuff.

Brisbane have won the Fair Play Award in 8 of the 20 #ALeagueMen seasons.

But from these first 25 mins, I think I can safely say that they won't be winning a 9th this season. 😆

Only took me til age 38 to win a premiership 😂. Definitely didn't think it'd be as a goalkeeper, but boy does it feel great to finally break that duck!

No, unfortunately no master list of all games. Had to go game-by-game, round-by-round to get them processed. A bit disappointing tbh

Interesting 2025/26 #ALeagueMen 's fixture for Victory.

5 straight AAMI Park games in Dec/Jan, and then 6 of 7 at AAMI between February and April.

If they can get off to a quality start *before* all of that occurs, it'll hold them in pretty good stead.

Between the misaligned text, mishmash of fonts, incorrect playing strip colours, and unnecessary flags, this might just be the worst scorebug I've ever seen 😆

They're still complaining about the disallowed goal? It clearly curled out, and the linesman was in a *perfect* position looking straight across the line. Ridiculous.

In a season that has had more away wins than any other, it's hardly surprising that the away (or nominal away) team have won 4 of the 5 #ALeagueMen finals matches thus far.

If you're curious, since 09/10 we have gotten close to a 10th player on this list only once:
Adrian Segecic (2020/21 Semi Final)

Luke Didulica on the bench for Victory. If he comes on, he'll be the 10th #ALeagueMen player to debut in a finals match:

05/06 (T. Ozbey, J. Spagnuolo, G. Owens)
06/07 (T. Hearfield)
07/08 (S. Jin-Hyung)
08/09 (Henrique, Ro. Griffiths)
09/10 (I. Ramsay, J. Gibbs)

So if the understanding that both legs of the MCY-WUN semi will be at AAMI Park is correct, that means 3 of the 4 semi final legs in the #ALeagueMen this season will be played at that venue.

Wanderers earned the home elimination final. So APL deciding to play the away team's goal celebration song is kinda lame. #WSWvMVC

I want to hear more about his dinosaur parks and Titanic replicas... and literally nothing more than that 🙂

Justin Tickner @justintickner.bsky.social · May 4

Look, not sure it was enough of a clear and obvious error to overturn that. But given the history of VAR in this fixture, I think we can let this one slide 😉

Quite incredible that Adam Taggart managed to get to 10 goals this season, given the *entire* Glory team managed to score just 22 times in 26 games.

Well, unless Kosta Barbarouses or Eli Adams go on an absolute tear tomorrow afternoon, we're heading for our first joint Golden Boot in the #ALeagueMen since Berisha/Maclaren in 2016/17
