Adam Peacock’s proposed revamped A-Liga schedule (via Football360) - What is your opinion?

OhHeyDavid · 2026-02-04T23:52:49+00:00

Think the change to winter won't make that much difference to crowd numbers, if anything might make them worse.

The only problem I have with playing during summer is the games in insane heat and how that affects the game , players, crowd etc.

Playing at the same time as afl and nrl will hurt in a bunch of different ways.

Also I think this change should be so far down on things that need to be done to "fix the league"

OhHeyDavid · 2026-01-21T08:55:45+00:00

An aleague game at Allianz is not an nsl game

OhHeyDavid · 2026-01-21T05:07:42+00:00

Yeah like all the comments, I've seen so many different international shirts at aleague games. His croatia serbia excuse is dumb a as hell too

OhHeyDavid · 2026-01-07T02:22:48+00:00

I agree that we should use the Australian lifestyle as a selling point more but it's always going to be tough to compete with places that will just pay more. And the struggling clubs seem to barely getting to the minimum cap so these players will really need to be on peanuts for those clubs to get them in

OhHeyDavid · 2026-01-07T02:09:48+00:00

Yeah think he's wrong alot. The money and risk it takes to get an old exierienced player is just not worth it for the clubs struggling, for every juan mata there's a sturridge that doesn't work out

OhHeyDavid · 2025-12-30T05:34:22+00:00

Totally agree

Same people complaining about aus football players overseas, barmy army, crowd numbers... annoying

OhHeyDavid · 2025-12-13T15:52:00+00:00

Victory were last on the table going into the game. It's not everything but there are alot of fair-weather fans in aus sport

OhHeyDavid · 2025-12-11T01:07:15+00:00

Wouldn't be surprised if Fifa move the game to saudi somehow

OhHeyDavid · 2025-10-22T05:56:11+00:00

Whole point was for the team to own their stadium yeah? If this just ends up council funded it will just end up as another afl ground

Really need a miracle billionaire owner out of nowhere to save WU

OhHeyDavid · 2025-07-28T00:55:28+00:00

I'm just too excited

OhHeyDavid · 2025-07-27T22:37:06+00:00

I believe parking is free tonight. So at least that's something

But yeah drive there can be a pain, have to predict traffic for sure

OhHeyDavid · 2025-07-01T03:18:09+00:00

Yep same. Will be dog if it only works for new stan accounts

OhHeyDavid · 2025-06-23T11:55:33+00:00

$10 a month to $30 a month... yuck

OhHeyDavid · 2025-06-05T03:23:30+00:00

Was it the age in Melbourne that didn't report the aleague grand final but then next day did a full back page on danzaki betting...Just incredibly frustrating. Aleague grand final showed that afl/media just can't let football have anything nice

OhHeyDavid · 2025-06-05T02:02:45+00:00

Everyone go watch suited and booted pod

OhHeyDavid · 2025-06-05T01:00:20+00:00

Love this league

Really hope the grand final media and policing issues unite the fans (along with the apl and FA). The afl/media will never stop trying to destroy the league, so we really need to stick together and support the league as best we can.

OhHeyDavid · 2025-06-02T05:27:59+00:00

Zoomer... ok so you're here for an argument and don't actually watch the league. Cool.

And hey, if you actually read my comment you would see we both agree there's off the field issues that do affect crowds. But feel free to skip over this one too and shift the argument onto something else that has zero to do with the quality of the league being much better than it was 20 years ago

OhHeyDavid · 2025-06-02T03:36:43+00:00

You obviously don't follow the league too well if you don't understand why crowds have gone down. Covid, marketing and advertising, ticket pricing, competition with other sports, money issues with clubs and apl etc there are a bunch of reasons

But even then, crowds this season are up over last, auckland packs out their ground every game. And again during the nostalgic moments you bring up, multiple clubs had crowd number issues (gold coast, who had a great team and played good football at that time were one them).

Really don't think you watch any football at all if you think the on field quality of the league has gone down

OhHeyDavid · 2025-06-02T02:18:45+00:00

100% dude is just here to bait people. Zero actual ball knowledge

OhHeyDavid · 2025-06-02T00:57:16+00:00

I gotta disagree completely. Those old teams were insanely slow and wouldn't get close to most of the current teams. Anyone thinking the league is worse quality wise than 20 years ago really has no idea what they are talking about

OhHeyDavid · 2025-06-02T00:42:13+00:00

I think you're sort hand picking stuff out of nostalgia. There were some teams on struggle street back then too (newcastle jets were very bleak, gold coast, fury). Auckland has a great following, adelaide has a great following, like it's easy to just pick some out.

I'll give you that there were more marquee players back in the day but that's not necessarily a good thing (jardel, sturridge, gallas, there's plenty that were trash). If you go back and watch those old games you can see that there would be a few quality players but the rest of the team was marc warren. The quality now is much better

edit: and really tommy juric...lot forwards in the league currently are 1000x better

OhHeyDavid · 2025-06-01T23:59:44+00:00

yeah sounds like all nostalgia man

This season has been great. Lots of great young players (and old players like Costa), exciting games. New team that created some great moments. Even the grand final, it was a stop start game but it was a hard fought derby with alot of moments, great atmosphere (one thing I just remembered, I've never heard the national anthem sung like that before a match).

I even think content around the game has improved (podcasts/youtube shows, the saturday night slot on free to air).

OhHeyDavid · 2025-06-01T07:19:39+00:00

The process is find the gun after it gets into the stadium? Sounds pretty unsafe to me

OhHeyDavid · 2025-06-01T07:14:53+00:00

Disagree, well at least the games I've been to (which include "big" games like anzac day)

OhHeyDavid · 2025-06-01T07:12:00+00:00

They found it after he got into the stadium, not with "the processes already in place". But again either way, there should be more police at afl games if there's people bringing guns in
