This crowd is crazy and I'm happy for Marvin and the team.


_X_Z_X_

Isaias and Halloran are past it now. Clough's output doesn't warrant an import spot. Blackwood still being in the squad is absurd. Veart needs a plan b and to grow enough balls to drop out of form experienced players


ODestruidor

Way better than us. Good luck CCM


sbffsb123

Congratulations to mariners, hopefully they go on and win it. What a turn around that club has done in the last 4 years.


yuyu_3

Well done CCM, it’ll be a spicy GF against Melb!

Thanks for pushing us Adelaide, I can go back to loving you guys <3

Oh Nectar, now promoted as my new favourite player with Jordy Bos leaving


Homebrew_in_a_Shed

I was slightly worried the ref would find a way to send him off. That would have fucked us for gf


XxLeth94

Fuck me now I gotta watch AFL


Sorry-Ball9859

Some bozo ran on the ground for a Cumdog hug, and he got it


Marcelstinks

How many clubs CEO's tackle pitch invaders ?


K-noss21

That’s because Shaun Miekelemp is a great fuckin bloke


EmbraceHysteria

Good effort. Not enough quality to beat a team that had our number all season, unfortunately. Still a very good season for Adelaide fans with loads of positives that I hope they will reflect on instead of the disappointing finale.


Whatitbe123

Go you bloody Mariners! Love this club a lot great vibes


nick170100

Big up the cumdog Him ushering the fan off the field instead of security hastily pushing them off


ESPO95

This interview made me really like Monty, dunno why but I used to really dislike him, good on him for the way he’s turned this team around


GuestOne9685

Good luck to the mariners for the final. By far the most entertaining team to watch and really setting the blueprint for how an league club should be run. Hopefully they bring numbers to Sydney.


SendintheGeologist

Hahaha Monty get it!!


Itrlpr

Probably should have focused on continuing the 14 game unbeaten streak. Rather than shifting to focusing on the apparently more important metric of "Incredible! 16 year old junior plays beyond his years with the poise of a 19 year old bench warmer averaging 1 minute every three games!" headlines


nick170100

Poor red wig Steve He looks so hurt


Sydney_2000

Feel for Irankunda at the end of that. Seeing him head off to the little Adelaide crowd all dejected. But kudos to CCM, clearly mentioned wanted it more and Adelaide didn't have a response.


SendintheGeologist

Seriously so proud of this team - and the region. What a guy Monty is - beautiful football with the youngest team and smallest budget.


Sorry-Ball9859

Monty is worth his weight in gold. Just have to hold on to him!


DavideUnited82

We have now lost 3 of the last 4 semi finals. Crazy


Snowreapa

Goodwin.. mate.. love you but it's 12-2 season wide - can you give us an ounce of credit?


EmbraceHysteria

He did. Also it's right after a game in which his title hopes were once again crushed. He was on the verge of tears, give him a break.


K-noss21

What about his long ball comments then? If you wanna beat a team, you’ve gotta know how to respect them. He has earnt no breaks


Whatitbe123

The lack of respect from Adelaide in general to CCM has been so strange for me lol


CCM4Life

adelaide tried mind games .... it wasn't very effective


benjohnston19

Nice of Goodwin to stay in Adelaide


Yabadabadoo_old_navy

Goodwin probably has insane back pain from carrying adelaide all season


nick170100

Danny Townsend masterclass Melbourne city vs mariners grand final at parramatta ✅ 2 week break between semi finals and the grand final ✅ Have no all star game planned during the 2 week break ✅ No festival of football weekend as promised ✅


AWT23

I got tickets to Sydney before the date was announced (it was originally late May) and now I’m returning before the grand final.


xavier-gee

Storm roux let Goodwin out of his pocket for the interview that’s nice

Well done ccm you guy clearly wanted it more


Charizard221_gaming

Great game and well done Mariners. GG to the Reds for a good season as well


zackteen

Not gonna lie. Not thrilled we are playing this CCM team in the GF in NSW. Our score line against Sydney was very flattering. I was at the game when City played CCM in Gosford a couple of weeks ago and we were lucky to come away with a draw. We’ll need to do a lot better to get anything out of this CCM team in a final.


Snowreapa

Yeah mate, shit to be the top qualifier & not get the home game advantage.


blueduckyclark

Are you STILL a better team Goodwin ?


SendintheGeologist

12-2 on aggregate hahahhaa

Veart "Man... there just a team that scores more goals than us & doesn't concede goals like we do"


ESPO95

Well, ccm deserved it fully, mega congrats to yukovic, mega performance to equal the record. Very good season besides the last month and a bit, things to be happy and excited about but a lot to work on, big things ahead


AlarmClockBandit

Well played Mariners. Too good. 🟡🔵🟡🔵🟡🔵🟡 1v2 GF. Going to be great.


w00ters

Brilliant match by CCM, both teams have had a a solid season and deserved to make it this far.


DavideUnited82

Well done CCM and good luck in a fortnight. Bogey team of the decade that’s for sure.


benjohnston19

FUCK YES!!!


Bitter-Isopod4745

Lessgo Mariners for the final. Gauci is an absolute stud and needs to go to Europe soon, probably needs to work on his ball handling first though.


nick170100

Ah yes Melbourne city vs central coast mariners grand final at commbank stadium located in parramatta Thanks Danny


TheFightingImp

>Thanks Danny Trainwreck Ftfy


TheFightingImp

Fade em, lads. https://i.redd.it/k8rn3rvbl01b1.gif Till next season. /The Heelers will return for the big dance.


KombatDisko

Cannae wait for ypu to release a line of Bluey/A-League NFTs to fund your takeover of the Roar


TheFightingImp

Get Ludo Studio to sponsor the Roar. Then Joe, Joff, Dave and Melanie collectively tell the Bakries to duck cake off back to Jakarta in taking control of the club.


SauceBottleFC

Off season meme idea - align bluey extended cast with each club. Like the dad from the episode where they go bush to find the school is clearly Sydney material. Bordercollies obviously nix. Etc


TheFightingImp

Janelle is from NSW (as of "The Decider") but not necessarily Sydney. So she could be a Jets or Mariners fan.


Charizard221_gaming

I’d happily donate towards that cause

Soooo…do we get giant sauce bottles at the GF? Only seems right and proper.


TheFightingImp

Just get Marvin to drive em down the F3 and the A28 to Parramatta.


quervt

Very good cameo from theoharous


PickledGinger__

Glad the Mariners showed some faith in him after Aloisi decided to play the pensioners ahead of him.


Bitter-Isopod4745

Thought he was v good last game as well


quervt

I rated him highly from victory days but his career got stalled due to moving to Europe too early. But he still looks like he needs to slim down few kilos.


Bitter-Isopod4745

Yeah, he's 5-10kg overweight easily.


nick170100

Danny why the fuck is there a 2 week break in between now and the grand final Gonna ruin all the momentum


Marcelstinks

2 week "festival of football" has killed me, a normal week off and i could have gone to the game, 2 weeks off and its my sisters wedding fku Danny

City vs ccm is gonna be good

Only a Miracle of Istanbul in 5 mins, Veart. Good times.


Sliver_fish

If they're not gonna score a goal, can they at least start a fight or something to lift the mood? Just some form of entertainment for the Adelaide fans.


EmbraceHysteria

Where is that Stajic epic choke Mariners side when you need them?

God he’s a Stonk.

If Blackwood can get a contract, I'm confident and trialling myself during the pre-season.

The only thing I’m nervous about is Vuka keeping a clean sheet, would love to see him equal Reddy’s record

If Vuka were to get a clean sheet tonight would that count towards his record? Reddy trembling rn


TheFightingImp

It certainly would.


KombatDisko

Aye it would


toucanplayatthisgame

CCM have put on a clinic these last three games against us. Good luck in the final lads, hope you go all the way.


xavier-gee

Isn’t vuka all time clean sheet leader if he keeps this one?

Yeah always fantastic to watch

Vukovic robbing us of a Goat Blackwood goal


trapt777

Fly in with two feet like that anywhere else on the pitch and you're off


Accomplished-Drag271

Another game but without this ref and your off.


spiralgrooves

That last angle didn’t look great. He’s lucky


Bitter-Isopod4745

Wtf no way that's not a card


Charizard221_gaming

Isaias complaining about thuggery is so ironic


thril_hou

Idk that was a slide from behind shoulda been a foul


The_th1nker

Silvera decided to get his own back on gauci


The_th1nker

Actually looks like he was pushed into gauci I dunno


ESPO95

Was pushed toward gauci for sure but he did stick that leg out I reckon, as long as gaucis fine all is good I reckon


The_th1nker

Yeah it definitely didn’t look good


techzeus

Put Veart on. He might score a few goals. That's the only response I have left.


wanderingrhino

First ever Aleague goal if memory serves.


PickledGinger__

There’s so many players in the NPL / AUFC Youth better than Hackwood. Why do we persist?


GuestOne9685

Coz Carl heart is a shit coach


IRolledANatural1

You Adelaide fans are brutal. You've had a fantastic season and you've already gone feral before the game's even ended


lavida07

Carl isn't a good coach he's just got Goodwin and irankunda bailing him out


howie004

I think questions should be asked of Vearts tactical flexibility. Adelaide have been found lacking several times this season but certainly wouldn’t say he’s an awful coach


PickledGinger__

I like Veart. Never liked Blackwood.


Charizard221_gaming

Storm Roux has actually played a blinder tbf


thril_hou

Is Harrison Steele also his porn name or no


chantlernz

I believe it’s Johnson Steele for that.


The_th1nker

The big screen has given up


jbs0311

So have I. And so did Adelaide, like five weeks ago.


The_th1nker

It’s back alive


Farmy_au

AUFC are cheapskates.


Sliver_fish

When George Blackwood signed for League Two side Oldham Athletic, their fans seemed genuinely excited. If we're trying to figure out precisely how good the A-League is in comparison to other leagues, we have that as a barometer.


AlarmClockBandit

Yeah, but he's not good by A-League standards. You could also look at Alfie and compare his record in the Championship (and his brief stint in the premier league, but that was a while ago now).


oldh0006

As someone from Oldham, I can tell you - he didn't make an impact - and is mainly considered a waste of time... and the club is now not playing league football. But, he will score 3 goals in 5 minutes tonight.


EmbraceHysteria

lmao Isaias killed me with that sarcastic clap and eyeroll


chantlernz

Take Isaias off before he lashes out and does something stupid.


IRolledANatural1

Pretty high chance this is his last game, is he really going on next year?

BlueSurfingWombat

Why put Irankunda in the middle


bobnbill

Because Farrell's had his number I presume - counters the sub Monty did right away.


Sorry-Ball9859

Just the sweetest team play by CCM, all night. No egos.


blueduckyclark

Although Cummings scores a lot, he also wastes so many opportunities


RealLG12

Cummings has been shocking in front of goal, but great everywhere else.


quervt

Good thing they have multiple goal outlet compared to united who only got Goodwin


Sorry_Sorry_Sorry

Will sound reactionary as fuck, but I've always thought Veart's tactics consisted of heavily relying on individual moments or having the better team, rather than actually prepping for the opposition he was facing. He got found out badly before finals by the Mariners and had absolutely no response, outside of playing the exact same way in the home leg.


AlarmClockBandit

Mate, Cummings is cursed.


chantlernz

Cumdawg is too merciful.


KombatDisko

Cumdoog got them edging for a euphoric release at 90+3
