    I was happy the Phoenix stood their ground about it being non-negotiable to be able to train during the 14-day isolation period.

          The excuses given didn't make sense to me. The NZ-based squad could have left earlier and met up with the others already in Aust. Then deal with Hooper and Dávila separately to get them directly to Sydney.

                  Football Australia and the newly formed Australian Professional Leagues (APL) today announced that terms have been agreed to ‘unbundle’ the A-League, Westfield W-League and Y-League (‘Professional Leagues’) from Football Australia.
                  
                  As part of the unbundling, the APL will also obtain the exclusive right to use the intellectual property rights associated with the E-League brand.
                  
                  - Paul Lederer, Chair of the APL said:
                  
                  “This is an historic moment for the future of football in Australia – for the fan, for the player, for the whole game.
                  
                  “It’s now time to earn and deliver the future our game deserves.
                  
                  “The handbrake on the game is off; owners can finally invest in what they own and create value for the entire footballing ecosystem.
                  
                  “Players can plan their careers in Australian football, fans can reconnect with the game that they love, and clubs can create meaningful moments for the whole Australian Football Family.”
                  
                  - Chris Nikou, Chair of Football Australia said:
                  
                  “There is unprecedented unity amongst football’s key stakeholders with the Football Australia, Clubs, and the Members of Football Australia, being the group making up the NLWG, that paved the way to the unbundling of the A-League, W-League and Y-League from Football Australia.
                  
                  “Football Australia will now focus its energies and resources on the regulation of the professional game, national teams, grassroots and the overall strategic direction of the game as outlined in the XI Principles for the future of Australian Football, the new 15-year vision for the sport and strategic agenda.”
                  
                  “All parties are committed to ongoing cooperation and collaboration and we look forward to working closely with the APL this season as we transition to the new model, and more broadly, the future of professional football in Australia.”
                  
                  

                  Not sure what the exact implications are, particularly for the Nix.

                    @Stargazer

                    Mostly good for the nix. Rob Morrison has been neck deep in the negotiations and is well respected within the circle of a-league teams. Most of the issues with the nix seem to have come from media commentators and ffa officials who have an issue with the nix blocking Australian talent ignoring the fact that the number of Australian teams are limited by financial restrictions, i.e. the nix isn't in there way. (See the arrival of two new teams over the last two years now that they have been able to get the numbers to work).

                      Hopefully this means the women’s team get the go ahead next year, would also like to see the Weenix go into the national youth setup over there

                        Their budget would probably need to have a massive injection of funds from somewhere if this was to happen.

                            Yep, the FFA wouldn't allow NZ players in a Phoenix women's team to be treated as locals , like the men's team.

                              Talk about last minute ... Nix score in 95th ...

                              Nup VAR.

                              Think they'll call it offside

                                  Wasn't really watching, just had it on (sound off while Ferning) waiting for sailing replay, didn t realise it was

                                  2. Live

                                  Shame. The yellow team looked the more likely to score (although at times they seemed too keen to want to take a punt at the glory long rang shot).

                                  But I know less than nothing about soccer. Was just kinda pleased when I thought they'd equalised.

                                    @booboo It was an entertaining game shame about the shoddy defence..good old VAR ruined it IMO.

                                      In a recurring theme across all 3 aussie codes this weekend, the nix join the Breakers and the Warriors getting stiffed by the refs

                                        I've given up watching the Phoenix play. Firstly, they seem to always lose when I do, and always get shafted by the officials. I don't think they've had a VAR decision go in their favour this season.

                                          The Phoenix get a come from behind win against Adelaide. Sitirio earned and converted a penalty with literally the last play of the game. VAR looked at the first goal for ages, but this time found no "fault" with it
