Wanderers keeping Sydneys season alive lol

And SFC are reportedly losing their good youngsters too

Patrick Wood to Perth and rumours that we are in for one of them too

I`d rather see The Nix lose this one,us beat the Jets and the Nix beat City.
That way The Jets would drop from 9th to 10th, we would jump into 4th and the Nix would end up 6th thereby Knocking Sydney out for sure.

Interesting, how times have changed. We all know SFC will open up the purse strings for mature players and overseas players so the young talent will be worse off. Clubs that promote youth should get a bonus from the APL. But no let’s support the big clubs who are all about themselves. Until the APL realise this the league will be ordinary.

Quality goal from piscopo to put the nux up 2-1. 25 to go, fingers crossed...

Nix win, Smurfs miss finals. Yewww!

Very lucky to win that, Wanderers hit the bar a few times and Oli Sail made some amazing saves.

I'm glad SFC are out but McFkoff with the Danny DeScruffy Tramp missing out was the most satisfying.

Been saying this for years. Short sighted stupidity and greed. Shooting their own future in the foot.

Pretty sure you used to get salary cap concession for players with 5+ years at the club and yoof (homegrown) guys. Obviously doesn't suit citeh or smurfs so probs doesn't exist anymore

. suits them just fine - let us consider Sydney for example*:

• two designated players completely exempt
• players with 4 or more years at the club can have part of their salary exempt
  • this means that all the Mariners alumni (except Musti) are eligible for a 'loyalty' concession at Sydney!
  • only 50% of Grant's salary would count towards the cap
• 4 U23 youth graduates don't need to count towards the cap
  • and as we have seen this season, apparently they don't even need to appear on the bench
• all this means that there is plenty of 'cap space' left to outbid everybody else for a player like Musti or, say a grubby-Penha

. contrast this with the Mariners who may be entitled to youth concessions but we need that salary to count toward our cap floor

* i don't know if this relates to the current season as the APL doesn't make these things very visible (or it could just be my lack of internet skillz)
