Paartalu saying the crowd noise after Eli Adams' equaliser was like nothing he's ever heard before.
Which is a hilarious thing for the guy who scored the most famous finals equaliser in #ALeagueMen history to say 😂

Every year I have to look up the coding rules for penalty shootouts in @ultimatealeague.bsky.social .
And every year I think to myself, "I should really document this somewhere".
And every year I obviously don't do that.
Rinse. Repeat. 😂

A Sydney draw/loss means Victory are guaranteed to finish in 4th place, securing a home final.
A Sydney win would push Victory into 5th & an away final.
Victory cannot finish 3rd or 6th.
The #MCYvADL result is already irrelevant to Victory's position.

That's three incidents in the last week where a player was allowed to continue playing after a head knock, and then being concussion subbed and/or missing a game due to concussion protocols afterwards.
Something's gotta give. It's simply not good enough.

At 1-0 up and dominating, I was thinking to myself "I wonder how the Wanderers are going to bottle this".
A 'late James Donachie winner' wasn't anywhere near what I had in mind, though 😳

That is "Liam Reddy trying to beat four players" levels of dumb goalkeeping from Oluwayemi.

There's still plenty of football to come this season, but there's no reason this Jets team — if they keep playing with the kind of style and verve we've seen the past few months — can't do the treble.

Long with a brain fade of a challenge, and Bayliss secures the points for the Jets almost immediately after.
Shot. Chaser.

If I had a dollar for every time a team playing with 10 men for 45+ mins had won in the #ALeagueMen this week, I'd have two dollars.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice.

Respect (or lack thereof) for refs is one of my real bugbears in football, so I'm all for how Alex King handled that — both the sending off of Valkanis, and getting both captains together to lay down the law.

It's just painful to watch Victory play right now.
So utterly disjointed all across the park, and besides Nish, just completely lacking a killer instinct in the front third.

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.

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!
