How the f**k do you expect me to be able to tell you exact figures mate? You think I’m inside the APL talking to their legal advisors? Come off it champ lmao.

I’m clearly going on what we’ve been told by people involved, including our own Richard Peil. If you want exact figures go ask Richard, what a stupid thing to expect me to be able to tell you. I am just relaying what we’ve been told which everyone seems to ignore because they won’t to be on the outrage bandwagon. ?

Blindly accepts the words of billionaires and multimillionaires crying foul of money and becomes their mouth piece on this forum.

And then we all get called sheep.

“Sources familiar with the matter say that the APL was required by a clause in that contract to achieve a certain number of subscriptions for Paramount+, the paid streaming service which launched last year in Australia and shows the majority of A-Leagues matches, but fell short of reaching the required target.”

‘As a result, the APL received less money than anticipated from Network 10 this season, and distributions to the 12 clubs were lower as a result - requiring A-League executives to look for another source of income to help make up the shortfall and keep some of the more precariously placed clubs from falling over.”

I am wrong plenty of times. However, this not about who is right and wrong. It is about your grandiose claims.

I am just trying understand the financials that make you so certain that ending this deal will kill the Mariners and be a massive devastating financial blow to the league.

They are massive claims. You made the claim so the burden of proof falls on you to provide the evidence of which you admitted you have none. All you have is some non specific quote (not credited) about TV subscriptions and some non specific, placating press release from Richard Peil.

So apparently there is a game on Saturday.

I think the issues around the league have been discussed enough and everyone has expressed there view. Maybe move any further discussion over to that thread and just leave this for the game.

We need to pull our fingers out big time and have had trouble with SFC lately. They seemed to have worked us out after we had some dominance early last year and the year before. Their kids are good and there use of wide players and cut backs really catch us out so we need to bust a gut to defend properly.

Beni has to sit for me. Last time Monty dropped players they came on and scored as subs so there was a good attitude change to being dropped. So needs to happen again

Tilio Cummings and Rhus would be my 3 as Silvera has been lazy when starting but might get in over Rhus

The Aussie CB pairing is a must

If Roux is recovered i’d prefer his more defensive approach early with Aqualina as a sub

Most importantly we need a shit load more intensity

Start Garang. We lost last week so changes are justified. On merit & performance he has earned a starting spot. He is the best player available on the team. Start him.

Kinda wouldn't mind seeing the below to see how it goes, I noticed Monty put Tulio up top for a little while in the second half. He doesn't bring the intensity but might have the quality we desperately need.

--------------Danny (just)---------
Aquilina---Hall---Triantis---Faz---
Silvera----Maxi----Niz-----Garang
-----------Tulio--------------------
----------------Cumdingo---------
