We Are The Reds

Away in Melbourne.
Nice to avoid the Sydney clubs and then obviously if AU win they travel to Sydney...

Do I remember correctly that they have changed the way they choose the host for the Final?

If the FFA could choose it would be held in Sydney no matter the result of our game.

I haven't heard anything on that. But unless there is some issue with stadia, like they all explode. It's in Sydney I presume.

After the FFA Cup Semi-Finals, FFA will conduct a live draw on FOX SPORTS to determine the FFA Cup Final Host City based on which two teams have qualified.
The live draw will be conducted if there is at least one (1) suitable venue in each of the cities in which the two (2) competing Clubs are based.

After determining the Host City, FFA will then select the most appropriate venue, subject to a suitability criteria.

I googled it for anyone else curious.

I’m pretty sure that this is the first year it’s pot luck as to who hosts the final........got to beat Bentley first.

Of course, definitely not counting chickens before they've hatched, was just considering that we might have to travel for quarter, semi and, if we make it, the final.

Yep bring on Bentleigh! Wiki says October 5th or 6th. So Friday or Saturday. Is that correct?

Yep, my 10th wedding anniversary one night and already bought tickets for the monster trucks at Adelaide oval the other. Unlucky.

I don’t mind the travel for the lads, helps them bond as a team being on the road and living in each other’s pockets a few days a every couple of weeks.

Haha with hindsight I made the right call
Nice dinner with the wife?
Or watching AU get refereed out of a game while listening to the commentary condone it?
Even watching the replay then next morning had me furious!

Friday the 5th, 7pm kickoff

Will be watching it on a friend's phone while at the PAFC Best and Fairest!

Looking forward to another game that means something.
I'd be wary about the Bentleigh Greens but I'm confident we have the players and know how to get pass them.

I don't wish to start a thread about this but how come the new season does not start till the 19th of October when the most important Grand Final is being played this weekend?

Jeez, we have to wait another three weeks...
I thought we waited politely till they finished and then we got under way the following weekend.
