Sports Illustrated illustrating just how irrelevant it has become. Any list without Reg Date or Joe Marston may as well be a bunch of names. As good as these guys are, there are probably another half-dozen that would make their way into a Top 20 ahead of this group.

Do you agree with this list? 🇦🇺⚽️🤔 Sports Illustrated have ranked their top 20 Australian men's footballers of all time - and Tim Cahill comes out on top!

@DeathNsl 30 rounds? How did the non-professional clubs cope with 30 rounds? Haven't seen that in the A-League era

“Channel 7’s involvement will be the perfect medium to take soccer followers around Australia through the season”. Never had a belly laugh as much as that. Nobody screw soccer like….

In a packed final day of World Cup qualifiers, I can't help but think the highlight of the news day was hearing that @SantoSamEd will be returning to our screens for the FIFA World Cup #champagnecomedy

@DeanRosario @KaptinYap My memory on the particulars is vague, but it was definitely Okon related. It's easy to examine the squad in hindsight, but both players were well passed their best by this point. Okon played just 30 matches in 4 seasons but was still better than what we had to choose from.

@DeanRosario @KaptinYap Ned Zelic... who was 28 at the time and playing regularly in the Bundesliga with 1860 Munich. Never played for Australia again after that series.

Gah, looking into it deeper, and both @OzFootballNet and the @smfc historian's spreadsheet have this wrong - the NSL Cup match was actually on the Friday (20th) and the Dockerty Cup match on the Sunday (22nd). Still, the schedule was absurdly condensed, as seen in this article.

Going through the record books to see the last time @smfc played two senior level men's games in two days - and it was as recent as 1996. September 21, beat @MelbKnights 1-0 in the pre-season NSL Cup, and September 22 beat Box Hill 4-0 in a #DockertyCup quarter final.

@NickStoll @joeylynchy Entirely replicable. If your only motivation to play here is $$$, than the marquee system is constantly doomed to fail. We are not Europe, we are barely part of the global football economy, but the 'sell' is in the lifestyle and the impact they can have in a non-football market.

@joeylynchy He's also here, reportedly, on way less money than he (or a marquee of his statue) could get elsewhere. This situation is not really replicable

The global reception to Juan Mata’s performance tonight shows just why the A-League can’t quit marquees. Going worldwide for all the right reasons. Mata hasn’t just brought a name, though. He’s brought class, commitment, and motivations beyond just cash to AAMI Park. A unicorn.

So, after a week of using (and sometimes avoiding) the Metro Tunnel to commute to work, this is one final vent on the topic (until footy season proper), in order to avoid complaining about the Metro Tunnel and how it's stuffed my daily commute becoming my entire personality.

May God forgive him (the referee), because I can't. As good a line in a match report as you'll ever see, Tygodnik Polski 1965 Wilhelmina v Polonia in the Ampol Cup group stage

What a day 🙌 Join myself, @smfc legend Michael Curcija and @Bashola66 for a blockbuster Greek Derby at 3:30pm 🍿 The last time @HUAlexanderFC faced South, in the Dockerty Cup final, the game had everything: quality, drama, and controversy. Will the Bergers get their revenge?

For those I have interacted with over the years, hopefully we cross paths in the real world or see each other digitally in the Good Place, but if not, it was good while it lasted. If you want to reach out, my email is in my bio. Adios Amigos!

For those keen on following my historical research and the work I do with Football Victoria, you'll find me on the Good Place 🦋 under the same handle plus a lot more music recommendations, dog photos and the occasional football blog piece, which I hope to ramp up in 2025.

Thus, there will be no more posts from me here, and I won't be managing either of the OzFootball accounts. This one will remain active for research purposes, and even then, I will probably call time on that once a couple of my NPL2 stats projects are done in the New Year.

Events over the past few days, months and probably years have led me to call time on this platform. The mass exodus will continue while algorithms distort your view of the world, which let's face it, is in a sorry state of affairs at the best of times. I'm done with that shit!

@MarkBoric Good call... I'll pick up a host of my own transcription errors when I run it through my own auditing process. Have a few 2021 NPL3 line-ups to go, but once done, will have a close-to-complete snapshot of the 2nd/3rd tier semi-pro line-ups dating back to 2004.

@dalmanac The format of the alleged results system makes working out line-ups a chore, but I would suggest James Delianov was in goal for Melbourne City in R1
