Tickets on sale for our Champions League games, cheapest Adult ticket is $40 .

Not sure who sets the prices but that feels like a joke, especially when you could get a $50 family ticket to the Saints Giants elimination final.

Members get free access the each of the three AFC games.

Watched the last 30 mins of the cup last night. Aside from Good, Cuputo and old boy Beich the entire line up was new signings, going to be a very different city lineup this year

Bad news.... disappointed after moving on Tilio plus the Leckie injury. Looks like Galloway might end up starting out wide

 

[AJ_2000]

That post was a bit early, looks like help is in the way

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Achilles is a bad injury to get, sucks for Nabbout.

0-0 is an ok result for the first game. Really didn't create too many clear cut chances.

Jamie Young was brilliant. Definitely an upgrade over Glover. He saved WU bacon many times and last night it was our turn.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

I'm very happy to see the back of Glover. Young was indeed good.

Thought our midfield was pretty good last night, still lacking a tall target upfront though unfortunately.

 

[AJ_2000]

It's a legit brand new team. Aside from Jmac, Good, Talbot, Reis, they were all new players

 

[ColinMochrie]

Still not convinced with Rado. Don't really see a gameplan in the games I've watched so far.

We still keep possession but seem pretty slow and predictable in attack. I'm hoping it's just rust and a lack team cohesion with so many new players.

Time will tell

Agree, I don't rate him at all.

Actually got one of these because the leaked regular home kit looks pretty average this year.

 

[ColinMochrie]

Another sluggish display against Sydney. So much possession for so few shots on target.

 

[AJ_2000]

It's a totally new team, still finding chemistry and lacking guys like Leckie or Nabbout who can create goals from nothing. It's going to be a slower start to the season for sure.

I haven't given up on the season or anything. Just some concerns coming into the year. Nabbout is gone for the year so we are relying on Leckie to recover and not get anymore injuries.

We just don't seem dangerous going forward at all which is strange to see considering the last 4-5 years.

Solid start to our ACL trip to Buriram !!!

 

[AJ_2000]

Adelaide in Sunday night away. Going to be a rough start to the year balancing midweek champions league games.

At least we're set up well there.

 

[Vdubs]

Very tough ask having to travel from hot steamy Thailand to Adelaide.
Long season ahead.
Not expecting a bright start to the A-League season; might not be top priority?
Who knows..

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Ridiculous that had to go to VAR. Clear as daylight penalty.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Wtf, Maclaren.

Something very wrong since Rado took over.

 

[DocSholl]

Something very wrong since Rado took over.

He's a career assistant. Too nice and doesn't drive standards (ie - the good cop to the manager's bad cop). He took over a well-oiled machine and it's progressively gotten worse as it's become his team.

Unprecedented Cup winners again just this year.
Unprecedented departures of outrageous talented players, virtually playing with 7/10 new players.
Injuries to Nabbout, Lekkie, Arsalan, Good.
Travel back after a win in Thailand 4 days ago...
Some people have unrealistic expectations.
