@aleaguemen No doubt a great goal, but that's not "in Wellington" as that's Eden Park in Auckland 😉

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 #ALeague history to say 😂

@kristiandwyer I'm like Santa at the moment: making a list, checking it twice.

Will process it for all clubs after the finals are completed.

[Justin Tickner @justintickner]

@Ryans_Rovers Agreed. There's no reward for being consistently good across the entire season, rather than just good for a month or so.

[Justin Tickner @justintickner]

So I can't vote for the excellent Will Dobson, but I can vote for two guys who played just a third of the season 🙄

@DeanRosario MVC with Keevers as referee:

3 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses (including tonight's loss)

Every year I have to look up the coding rules for penalty shootouts in @ultimatealeague.

And every year I think to myself, "I should really document this somewhere".

And every year I obviously don't do that.

Rinse. Repeat. 😂

[Justin Tickner @justintickner]

Storm are away from home in the NRL next week, so MVC v SYD could be either Friday night or Sunday evening, you'd imagine.

[Justin Tickner @justintickner]

Interestingly, the press release for the ALW finals mentions that the MVC vs MCY game is 5pm Saturday, and covered live on 10 Drama (which usually carries the ALM game).

That makes scheduling ALM finals matches next week a little more complicated with both venue and broadcast.

[Justin Tickner @justintickner]

@TimothyJ_23 Nah, if it's a draw it'll be ADLvMCY and MVCvSYD. There's no chance for a Melbourne Derby final next week

[Justin Tickner @justintickner]

@Ryans_Rovers True, but HQ will be somewhat happy that they'll have either an Original Rivalry or Big Blue finals match next week.

[Justin Tickner @justintickner]

@aleaguemen So, technically, Sydney know they will be at AAMI Park. They just don't know who will be hosting them yet 😏

[Justin Tickner @justintickner]

A Sydney draw/loss means @gomvfc 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.

😂

#SYDvAKL #ALeague

[Justin Tickner @justintickner]

1 game to go in the @aleaguemen season, and only Newcastle (week off) and Victory (home final) know with certainty where they will be next weekend.

@bozwhite @gomvfc Honestly, the permutations of AFC spot allocations is just too in flux for me to even try to decipher at this point 😂

[Justin Tickner @justintickner]

Mata on the bench in Western Sydney tonight. About par for the course, really 😏
#WSWvMVC

[Justin Tickner @justintickner]

@paige478 @rrjparkin @WgtnPhoenixFC Agreed. And he broke his "7 goals scored" barrier too, which shows real growth on his part 😏

[Justin Tickner @justintickner]

@M1D3V

[Justin Tickner @justintickner]

@Ryans_Rovers Temporary substitution would probably work. 5 min observation period, you can bring someone on, then once the 5 mins is up you make a call as to whether the observed player is allowed back on

[Justin Tickner @justintickner]

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.
