FOX SPORTS A-LEAGUE

[Luigi197]

BlueStorm,
I must say, YOU ARE A LEGEND. You have helped me heaps with Fantasy A-League many times and i never would have done so well without you.
You have opened me up to new strategies and ways to attack in fantasy games.
So thank you so much for your help BS.
4th in our FF Classic League, shame i didn't discover you sooner!
Thanks a lot, and also a lot of credit also goes to McRooster, who helped me a lot not just when BS was un-available, but even when you see his superb advice against yours :P So thanks to you too.

Assuming we wont have to juggle with A-League byes anymore with NQF out, and looking for a Melbourne Heart Premiership soon  8)
Watchout next season, i'm gonna get ya!

Yours and Truly, Luigi :D

Cheers Luigi,
On a dodgy reception just outside Bristol in UK, so quick reply for now. Was a fun season, and more than glad to help a few converts! Only went up 6 spots this week, think I finished 63rd, but spewing I missed what sounds like a cracking final. Hope to see y'all next season to do it again.

Enjoy the trip BS :).

I wasn't that much into foxsports A-League but always good to read your round pre-views and which players are on the watchlist!

[McRooster]

I can't wait for October  8)

Yes Mc, i saw that too :D ;D

Can't wait. But with that Aussie Game fixture, hurt for Fantasy A-League much?

[McRooster]

Socceroos this weekend in Adelaide v All Whites (NZ) -ooooh yaeh!

If you remember from my A League postings this last season, I go to the matches with a Kiwi mate of mine - and believe you me it will BE ON between the two of us  >:(

What should I put on the line if we lose?

1. Speak with a Kiwi accent for a week

2. Wear a Wellington jersey to an A League match at Hindmarsh

3. Perform a haka in the front bar of The Governor Hindmarsh 

[Luigi197]

The easiest is the Wellington Jersey one lol

[BlueStorm]

I'd pay good coin to see you do the haka! Probably not enough to cover the medical bills though  ;)

Stupid bloody A League. How does Heart get two home games v Victory - again! The say the AFL draw is bad, but there is no rhyme or reason for the A League fixture...

[CrowsFan]

How does that really matter BS when Victory and Heart play at the same ground?
Just means Victory will get another home game against another team which will more of an advantage for them

[BlueStorm]

Wrong Crows Fan! Victory play all their 'big' games at Etihad (Adelaide, Sydney, Heart).
For those of us with reserved seats at AAMI Park, that means we get relegated to general admin at Etihad, a poor venue for soccer at best. As Victory have transferred another 3 games there this year (to make it 6 in total), we as members get boned.

I know why they do it - Victory have the sweetest tenancy deal of any sporting club at Etihad, so they can make more money hosting games there, even if low drawing. Doesn't make me happy though.

Also, if Heart have two home games, then us as Victory members have to pay to attend two of them. Since Heart had two home games last season, we should have the two this year. Might be minor, but shows they have little regard for fairness.

[CrowsFan]

Ah ok I don't pay enough attention to the A league to notice that. I was just scrolling through the draw and saw that Victory seemed to be playing their home games at AAMI park.

Want to talk about not fair though? 2 years I have lived in Sydney now and 2 years in a row the Crows have not come to Sydney to play the Swans. Both years they have only played once a season and both times have been in Adelaide. Not fair for a Crows supporter living in Sydney haha

[BlueStorm]

No worries Crows Fan. I am all over A League, and happy to help if you have any questions.

Exactly - the AFL draw is anything but, it really is a fixture, and same with A League. Everything is done with attendances and cash in mind. Mind you, the way both teams are going at the moment, you are probably lucky the Crows haven't come to town  ;)

[McRooster]

Anyone know when this starts? - and is anyone wanting to start up any type of League? (I reckon we had about 5/6 FF one's on the go last season)


*What price will Harry Kewell start at  :-\

[Luigi197]

I am definitely looking forward to when the fantasy game starts :D
We all know the A-League starts Oct 4 i think.
Kewell will be probs around 11, even 12! :o
I don't really mind who makes the league TBH, I will volunteer of no one else does :P However, the last BlueStorm was on, was July 15! :(

[BlueStorm]

BlueStorm has not gone anywhere Luigi  ;) After another winter of screaming at my under-performing SC 'stars', it is time to turn ones attention to the round ball code, and what a season this promises to be!

I have started a new thread for the fresh season, and have put in a few notes about player movement etc.
Think the site will open about 2 weeks before the season kicks off (which is Friday, October 7th).

There was talk the Victory-Sydney game would be moved forward to the Thursday night to open the season, but that looks unlikely now. It's a pity, as Emerton will certainly be in the Socceroos squad that weekend, but Harry should be suiting up for Victory (presuming he doesn't bruise a fingernail in the meantime  :o)
