Montgomery is a brilliant manager, love what he’s done at the Mariners.
Very glad he wins this and continues to enhance his career.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

No way there is 26k here tonight

 

[gaskin]

6 now. City aren't even trying to stop them now.

Money can't buy you history look at Man City Leipzig PSG Newcastle

The players aren't playing for the shirt they are playing for the cheque

 

[Punt Road Feral]

Probably includes the free ticket giveaways

 

[Greenery]

6-1

 

[Munga]

Can anyone check on AJ_2000 ?

 

[CURVE]

WOW!! Congrats CCM

 

[Greasyrhys]

Never thought a team would score 6 in a GF again, what a collapse

 

[AJ_2000]

Can anyone check on AJ_2000 ?

I'm fine . Thanks for your concern

 

[AJ_2000]

Congratulations CCM. Played their best game of the season. For 70 minutes I felt we weren't that bad, but we picked a bad day to have our worst day in years.

At least Adelaide had a guy sent off early

Look on the bright side least the thrashing wasn’t at AAMI Park!

But it would've been totally different if the incompetent ref had the guts to send off muscat for a pathetic tackle that could've done serious damage

All good mate. I've been on the end of a few myself.

Wouldn't have mattered the Melbourne City Fans are like the Avatar when their team need them the most they disappear

 

[Pacman82]

Hopefully Man U get up later on too!

 

[Pickitt]

Always next season

 

[giggler99]

and thats a rap for the season.. congratulations to the Mariners a truly remarkable victory one for the ages that will be talked about by many.

Thankyou to everyone who has contributed to the board this season its been another difficult season with lots of controversy and bizarre decisions being made by the APL but if anything tonight’s Grand Final shows how exciting and unique this league can really be. Hopefully it leads to a road back to the hights the League once held. Stick around on the board during the off season with the Womens World Cup coming up and contribute to our Matildas hopefully giving us more great moments. We also have the Australia Cup national round coming up real soon as well as providing the usual off season news in the off season thread which will be up soon, their is sure to be plenty. Lots of fun still to be had on the board.

I'd say that's fairly reflective of this board, and the a league in general.

Unless Commbank Stadium is a 60,000 seater

 

[BobbyMorri]

More teams like CCM, less W.United and Macarthurs. Good final and a good watch. Only the 2nd match this season I have watched(the other was at North Hobart)

"Cum Dog Millionaire" Great line Simon.

 

[Present Not Past]

What a win. The better team always wins on the day, no matter where it's played.

Devastating that Cummings has chosen semi retirement and is unpickable from the Socceroo perspective. Arguably could’ve been starting against Argentina in the China friendly.
