Brisbane Bounce Back

-
Even ADP wasn't enough to lift
the Sky Blues
After a week to forget Sydney FC were keen to bounce back with a win against the reigning Premiers.

The Roar also found themselves in trouble languishing on the wrong side of the ladder.

Keen to avoid the fate of Crook, Vidosic needed to somehow revitalise the Roar and prove that they could move on without Ange Postecoglou.

Insanity is the repetition of the same act and expecting a different result and last night proed that Sydney should be institutionalised.

Poor defending again put Sydney out of the contest as Brisbane scored at will converting four times in a night to forget for the Sky Blues.

Brisbane opened the scoring when Broich's 40 metre free kick went untouched and slowly bounced into the back of the net.

Brisbane built on the momentum just 3 minutes later with Paartalu effortlessly beating Sydney's man marking and converting a rebound of Necevski's save.

However Sydney's seemingly lone hero stepped up once again to reveal the smallest ray of hope.

Del Piero converted two stunning opportunities and once again proved his worth on the pitch scoring a brilliant long-range effort and combing with Yau and some subtle footwork to confuse Theo and walk the ball into the goal.

However goals from Halloran and Berisha spelt the end for Sydney the later beating 4 confused defenders in what can only be described as embarassing for "football's capital" club.


 Brisbane Roar 4 (Broich 30, Paartalu 33, Halloran 45, Berisha 57)
Sydney FC 2 (Del Piero 42, 49)
Crowd: 22,970 @Suncorp Stadium

Friday Night Lights

Del Piero has helped to lift A-League TV ratings With the valuable addition of free to air broadcasting to the A-League's already growing media footprint it appears the war to win viewers has already begun. This ratings war is not against traditional Friday night ratings winners in the AFL, NRL or "Better Homes and Gardens" but in fact between A-League clubs themselves. Since the announcement of a FTA Friday night match to be televised on SBS from next season clubs have been queuing up to increase their own brand's exposure. Speaking on the issue, Melbourne Victory Chairman Anthony Di Pietro backed his clubs to be heavily involved in the FFA's free to air strategy. "We've got the highest ratings on the Friday night" Di Petro stated Melbourne Victory's case is strengthened by their prominence in the A-League's TV ratings records featuring in 10 of the top 10 highest rating matches ever up until the inclusion of Del Piero.

It’s time to merge Asia and Oceania

Enough is enough. After years of instability, poor management and most worryingly of all poor football it is time the football community asks itself what to do with the troubled Oceania Football Confederation. With a mere 14 member nations (most of which ranked outside the top 100) and .5 world cup spots the Oceania Football Confederation has little influence in the world of football and apparently in its own region. Australia were quick to jump the sinking Oceanic ship, ditching the confederation as part of a total revamp of football in the country leaving New-Zealand as the only 'major' footballing nation to properly represent the confederation internationally. A merger with the AFC could give OFC members a much needed  boost The sad truth is Oceania is holding its members back. With little financial power (relative to other governing bodies) and little talent coming out of the region one must wonder what the point is in isolating a handful of pacific nations in the

Sports War

The Australian sporting market is a tough one but people here love sport and are willing to support an number of teams from a number of codes. For this reason sport codes in Australia are fighting a war for spectators because as easy as it is to support a team, it is a different thing all together to get to a game. In Melbourne alone we can name 9 professional AFL teams, 2 professional football teams, a professional rugby league team, and the list goes on! Football needs to establish strong grassroots in local communities This totals over $100,000,000 in sport player salaries alone in Melbourne, not to mention the people who contribute off the field. Sport is a massive market generating billions of dollars, everyone wants a slice pf the pie As a result we are seeing codes fight in a sports war for spectators and for national dominance. AFL and Rugby League have done well to secure their respective territories but in there greatest strength lies there greatest weakness.
