ALM Grand Final vs Victory 23/24

One week already. What a blur it's been...

That corner still meets the minimum requirements for egress width. Hey, I never said it makes sense!

The difference being that egress is the flow of people all trying to get out, as opposed to some going to the
toilets,some the food counter ,some for a smoke and some just for a look...

Some key findings

The Isuzu UTE A-League 2024 Grand Final, which saw the Central Coast Mariners crowned the A-League Men Champions on Saturday, reached 1.12 million Australians with audiences up 12% year-on-year.

Not only was it the biggest match ever on 10 and 10 Play, but it was also the #2 program of the night in 16 to 39s.

The 2023/24 Isuzu UTE A-League Men’s season was up 16% on broadcast TV, 33% on 10 Play and 53% on Paramount+. The Liberty A-League Women’s audiences grew 114% on 10 Play and 125% on Paramount+.

Those figures would be a lot higher if Channel 10 promoted the league more and played the match of the round on the main channel instead of pushing A League games to 10 Bold or 10 Green Bottles or whatever they call the other stupid channels...

Glad it’s not today with the rain, for once we got good weather. Seemed like we were cursed at times with weather in all comps.

Rain, hail or shine but so glad the GF was not tonight

Spending this rainy day watching last years and last week’s grand finals. Even last years one still feels like a dream. 2 nights I’ll never forget for as long as I live.

As far as I’m concerned and from the small pieces I’ve heard, he’s been a great squad player. Turns up every day, trained hard and didn’t complain. Others would’ve had a huge hissy fit. We can’t argue with Jacko for not picking him either. Hope DWH can get a gig elsewhere. He’s really not a terrible player.

Is that shot from the eastern or the western stand?

From the western of the eastern - the centre of the pitch invasion was on the furthest side of the field from us in Bay 3.

He seems to be a nice guy as well, he’s one of the few who reply to messages on his insta stories. Actually, he’s the only one apart from Connor Pain who I still talk to.

Agreed. It will be an interesting to see what happens if he isn't going to get game time for us. Still has 12mths on his contract and you'd have to say if Jacko hasn't seen enough of him to give him game time this season will he use him at all next season. I've heard he's probably one of our bigger wage earners so is anyone going to give him a similar package if he hasn't played for 12mths?

It’s such an interesting situation, Monty loved him. He was, in a way, the planned successor for Dingo in Monty’s eyes. Then got injured and could barely impact last season then Jacko doesn’t like the type of striker he is. Just baffling he didn’t get another chance but in the end it didn’t hurt our success so we can’t complain.

I watched the WSW doco which made me go to you tube for the WSW Mariners game effectively for the plate (was a 20min version of the 2nd half). Then the grand Final 2013

Then Last year and now last week again.

Good weather for it

Met Dylan a few times and it`s easy to see why he is with us.
He is a quality guy.
Very polite ,approachable and down to earth.
I really hope he breaks into the squad.

The Melbourne fans answer your question.

Not baffling at all. He got a 4 or 5 game run at the beginning of year. Didn't perform well and that was that. In our shit years he would have started every game.

Just thinking that Stefan Nigro would be punching the shit out of his agent by now...

Hopefully his agent has taught him how to cross a ball.
