Well done, no doubt got more events pencilled in than Danny Townsend does.

So the ALM season starts on the 20th-22nd October. Is it just me, or does that seem even more ludicrously late than usual?
ALW a week earlier which is also unusual (being so early) but a good idea to get any momentum from WWC.

It remains a ridiculous feature of this league. I often have casual A-League fans ask me when the next season starts - to the person, the look on their face when you say October is one of wonderment

Itâs basically the longest off-season in the world for any professional league.

Winter comp. Start in Feb in the gap between cricket and NRL/AFL seasons, break for international weekends and major international tournaments, and give the cup dedicated weekends. That aligns perfectly for the conclusion of our season to play out between the NRL/AFL grand finals and the first test of the summer. And we have a two month off-season over the summer when weâre at the beach anyway. And we align with grassroots for better engagement. And we align with the NPL calendar so that we easily move players between NPL and ALM for better youth development.

On the downside play a game on Sun afternoon, after the Waratahs and Roosters have played on Fri and Sat nights.

Itâs also been confirmed that the A-League will not break for the Asian Cup.
I wonder what team(s) will be gutted for a month.
that just comes down to the number of games though doesnât it? Throw in the lack of breaks for international engagements.
So apparently Perth are playing West Ham tonight?
Who knew.
And then backing up for their FFA Cup qualifier against Macarthur in a few days time.

2-0 to West Ham after 20 mins.
West Ham opened the scoring after 2 mins.
Perth donât lppk like a team in pre-season, they look like theyve never played a game.
Kenny Lowe is managing Perth. Did he re-sign and it wasnât announced, or is it just for this game?
Kenny is just interim, they havenât made a permanent appointment to replace Ruben yet, though Staj is rumoured after he finishes this World Cup with Philippines.
Oli Sail looking like heâs picked up Reddyâs old drink bottle. 
Perthâs kids played some decent stuff, probably made a better fist of it than the starting XI, score really only blew out because Jarrod Bowen was comfortably the best player on the park.
Draw canât be far now, surely?
This is the latest theyâve ever released it I think. Mildly annoying, I wanna start planning for some Dec/Jan away trips
Assume theyâre waiting for the end of the WWC.

Itâs possible weâre just going to skip this season.
I think weâve all had enough for a bit.

Well if Corica doesnât hurry up and announce some signings, weâre going to have to forfeit, by default.
