Not quite sure how they get that so wrong. There is currently a zero percent chance we play Wellington. City play lowest place winner we play highest placed winner.

We play the winner of reds v nux/perf.

Unless nix/perf win, then we play the winner of syd/wsw

Not how it shows the format on the font of wisdom, Wikipedia.

We play the highest ranked qualifier.

My question is why do we have the away leg first?

Surely having the home advantage as the first game and having a better chance at getting the first leg win takes confidence into the second game?


Is the setup based on having a more competitive second game and possibly more viewers/spectacle.

I can't read brackets but can words. You're right.

Spicy if its reds. Kinda hoping it is.

Because if it’s tied after 2nd leg normal time you get the benefit of being at home for extra time and shootout

Plus home ground to help push whatever you need to achieve.

Say your 1-0 up with 5 to go in 2nd game your home crowd support fouls time wasting etc. if you are in Adelaide with 5 to go there crowd is pushing for the tieing goal which is a disadvantage when you finished higher

So... When do we get tickets?

I'm gonna bring a small plane load of roar supporters with me. Hopefully we nudge 15k.

Epic game, can't bloody wait. What's the best result for us?

 

[Ozhammer]

I would prefer facing Adelaide again, especially now we have the wood over them. WSW will be pricks to play against. I can’t see Nix or SFC winning either of their EF’s

I must admit i don't like the two legged format. I don't think it's enough of a reward for the top two. One home game for the top two would be better in my opinion. I would have still said that if we had finished third.

And if the Nix win City will have to travel to NZ. So glad we don’t have to worry about that scenario it’s only City’s problem.
