Hey Jonah - we posted a short update on YouTube tonight following today’s news.

If more happens tomorrow we’ll do the same before a full wrap on Friday.
The fact that Mat Leckie put in a Joe Marston level performance, not just with the nose gash - but going into the game with a strained hamstring that he knew would likely keep him out of the Socceroos...

Legend status.
Victory lineup is wild - forced by the injuries to Bos and Traore.

Valadon squeezed into full back? Three at the back?

Whichever way they do this, this is going to be a very different Melbourne Victory to what we're used to.
Hahaha the towel is gone 🤣
These conditions well suited to Auckland I reckon. Less flashy football, more 'get stuck in', win the physical battle.

Just let me make fun of silly semi finals 🤣
Really watchable game of football. Western press not allowing City possession to dominate too heavily.

Enough chances for both teams to score a few, excited for the second quarter. #WUNvMCY
HT 🟢 0-1 🔵 | Western United fail to capitalise on a pair of chances in the final minutes and City have the lead!
Irony is that the atmosphere of a game like this would actually be insane in a 5,000 seater. #WUNvMCY
Aaaand Sydney's season is over.

Big picture - this is absolutely disastrous for a club with such a talented list. #MCYvSYD
This game is such a genuine toss of the coin for me.

So much on the line for both. #MCYvSYD
Pretty stoked to have made my NPL Victoria commentary debut last night for the Oakleigh v Heidelberg clash.

Everyone kept saying this league is the centre of the universe, and with innovative tactics like Yaren Sozer's double-wall, it's easy to see why 🤣
Asumah Abubakar has been at the centre of a lot of the good things happening for the Roar in the last month.

No brainer to extend his deal beyond the initial half-season. #BRIvWEL
My god... might be the worst this Suncorp surface has looked all season.

Thankfully the last time we have to deal with it this season. #BRIvWEL
Season over for Macarthur.

They made a conscience decision in January to prioritise the long term of the club over the short - so not a surprise.

The foundations are there though - this club will challenge under Sterjovski.

Bullet. Possibly his last in Victory colours as well.

No way Ryan Teague is still in the league next season. #MACvMVC
Yea, plenty of clubs would be after him.

Had an unfortunate run - sitting behind Paulsen and now Langerak.

Probably a top 6 goalkeeper in the league but has been stuck behind some real talent.
Mitch Langerak injured in training - Diles doesn’t know the full extent of it.

Quite fortunate they’ve got a keeper on the bench that has played around a dozen quality A-League games this season…

Two rounds to go... plenty of movement and surprising results in Round 27!

Alex Paulsen hasn't got as many headlines this season compared to last - largely because he's been protected so well...

But proving again he is clear as the best keeper in the league. #MVCvAKL
This back end to Adelaide’s season is a Shakespearean level tragedy.

Absolutely hilarious and sad at the exact same time.

That loss from Western makes it very hard for top two now.

We break down the run home in detail on the latest @RoundBallAus pod - but Sydney and Auckland to close.

6 points likely not even enough. #BRIvWUN
After all that yesterday brought... needed a win.
