@ryanator109 Brimmer out works in their favour

@InTheMixer Yup, didn’t start FDV, no May and Brimmer out too

Might be an uncomfortable truth for some to admit - but Auckland have been entirely comfortable in this game. Barely out of 3rd gear and not really troubled by Adelaide's chance creation. #ADLvAKL #BestLeagueInTheWorld

@FriendlyLordie I'd have to dig out where I read them mate but they made an offer to German, who got a higher offer overseas - they are in discussions with Leckie according to a recent article. Quinn Macnicol has been rumoured for quite a while - Hollman is rumoured, but neither confirmed yet

@InTheMixer hi Shaun I saw your tweet of Melbourne city saying they Offered Contracts to Players some of them where did u see it online or somewhere else

@aidanfawkes He had gone missing for the last like 8 weeks - what will kill him is Cosgrove/May/Sakai taking points off him each week - flawed voting system works for Mata

@InTheMixer Randall won't win the Warren but he deserves to go close. Mata and him the best players in the league this season.

Randall was miles better than Cosgrove tonight. POTM awards are basically just trolling me every game at this point. #ADLvAKL #BestLeagueInTheWorld

@breeeeema @sfcangus Thomas > Smits Panta > Vriends - Maybe he partners him Scicluna/Thurgate > Anselmo Kraev > Muniz

@InTheMixer @sfcangus Honestly i reckon they all start for our squad this season. Besides fraser, scicluna, and thomas our players are below average

Should probably let the body get cold before the autopsy but while Adelaide's Australian core is very good - how many of their Visa's make other teams in the league? #ADLvAKL #BestLeagueInTheWorld

@SkyBlueSainter I think this year's free agent market is very strong - let him go to Perth

@InTheMixer I hope we keep him but it can’t be on marquee wages

@Frank_theTank78 I don't think he offers anything you couldn't get in an Australian keeper - just an Ernest Faber special

@InTheMixer Penalty aside, has made some excellent saves this year.

Someone just posted something very similar to this that I was going to quote - but then the timeline refreshed and I can't find it to reply - so here you go out of context. #ADLvAKL #BestLeagueInTheWorld

@SkyBlueSainter As someone who knows how hard it can be to play hungover - what he does is incredible

@InTheMixer Except he’s often not there when it matters

@SkyBlueSainter You are still positively skewed with Lolley - so it isn't quite the same.

@InTheMixer I could say the same for Sydney. A fit Joe and Quispe maybe.. but tbh I don’t mind that PK is not starting 4 of them and I’d rather he leaves Quintal on the pitch if he’s cooking and not bring Arslan on

@Frank_theTank78 Oh my bad - written text and all. Smits for that penalty was rough, worth a re-watch.

@InTheMixer Thanks. I was being sarcastic sorry. Anselmo has hardly played Muniz can’t get a run despite looking creative. Vriends…. Haven’t picked up a standout for a while - although Smits has been solid.

@sfcangus You watch Smits fail to get up from that penalty before slow moving Boat Cosgrove runs 12 yards and come back to me. Vriends is the best of their bunch, but he is neither fast, nor strong - covered by a good young foil and often caught behind the play.

@InTheMixer Smits walks into any lineup except Sydney’s imo. Vriends would be westies’ best cb. Muniz and Anselmo, not sure.

@Frank_theTank78 It's a term for their international players - each team gets 5 Visa Players.

@InTheMixer What Visa’s?

@sfcangus None of Smits, Anselmo, Vriends or Muniz would start for the Wanderers, who have good players but bad management. They wouldn't start for Brisbane because they aren't blood relatives of Michael Valkanis.

@InTheMixer All of them would start for Brisbane or wsw

@LachieAvil I think Adelaide were more bad than Corica good

Auckland have played this game absolutely perfectly. Best performance of the season, bravo Steve Corica. Did exactly what they needed to do in every aspect of the match. #ADLvAKL

I think Red Wig Steve should have a Grey Afro he puts on when things aren't going well. #ADLvAKL #BestLeagueInTheWorld

@jenko0923 Mark Ochieng would come from Row G of the crowd to score a double

@InTheMixer Every other team wins in Adelaide but if we played tonight would be 4-0 easily to the reds

@jenko0923 I think they had a game plan and a set up for Anselmo to play - then when he went off they had 0 Plan B prepared.

@InTheMixer Reds haven’t fired a shot other than one good save from Woud. Seem very overruled by the occasion. Reds kryptonite is Semi Finals

@yupitchris Yeah - somebody really decided it needed to add Pop-ups instead of the side bar menu. There are still 6-7 months after Release, Staff and History pages you can't click on because they break the game.

@InTheMixer Is it that bad? I dropped off a few years ago as the game just kept getting more and more complex. There was almost too much detail

FM24 is still a really good, immersive game. I would take FM27 just being a data and licence update of FM24, and I think a lot of other people would be won back over with that simple update. The persistance with a format of game killing the franchise confuses me. #FM27
