  • Analysis of Draw


    mack

    With the draw having been released I have taken the time to interpret and analyse the draw for any interesting facts I could think of.

     

    Home vs Away

    The club has a very even spread of home and away matches, there are only three blocks of either home/home or away/away. Rounds 1 through 5 alternate home/away. Round 6 is another home game then it returns to alternating through to round 14 and 15 which are both home games. Rounds 16 and 17 are away games, from round 18 the draw returns to home/away until the end of the season.

     

    NSW Games

    There are a total of 17 games being played inside NSW involving the club. 1 each at Campbelltown, Bluetongue, the Sydney Football Stadium and Newcastle Stadium, and 13 for Parramatta Stadium. There are 10 matches outside NSW.

     

    Dual Hosts

    We host Central Coast, Melbourne Heart, Melbourne Victory, Newcastle and Sydney FC twice at home.

     

    Dual Away

    And vice versa, we travel away twice to Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth and Wellington.

     

    Special Events

    There are two special events on the schedule. On New Year's Day 2013 we host Melbourne Victory. On Australia Day 2013 we host Melbourne Heart.

     

    Home Match Days

    We play one match on a Tuesday, 1 match on a Thursday, 2 matches on Friday, 7 matches on Saturday and 3 on Sunday.

     

    Away Matches & Away Travel

    There are several matches which would fit what most supporter groups choose as their inter-state travel matches.

    * Melbourne Heart's 5th round visit would be an early opportunity for an away supporter group to travel

    * The Victory match on the 24th of November is a perfect timeslot for travelling support and their visit on New Year's Day could attract their support.

    * Brisbane and Adelaide both have matches in Sydney in December.

    * Perth Glory and Wellington towards the end of the Season could also be attractive for their fans.

    Really?

    So the jets could host a "regional round" at no.2 oval in Newcastle.

     

    Regional games should be in regional areas, Dubbo, Coffs Harbour etc etc

     

    Agreed.

    We the fans were happy to travel WEST to Bathurst or even Mudgee to sample the local beverages.

    Here here.

     

    Speaking to my Adelaide peeps, WS away on Friday 21st is looking like having a lot of interest. I'm already keen

    Bringeth thy wenches, we'll supply the mead and a good time shall be had by all....after the small matter of spanking you on the field. :P

     

     

    A regional round in Goulburn would go off. Not only would we get the Westies (only 1.5 hrs away) but also only 1 hr to Canberra. Not to mention the 30K residents of Goulburn or the other 30k living in the outer municipalities. It's a no brainer! Plus, most importantly, I live here and it's beers at my joint!

    An idea filled with WIN. You sir are a scholar and a gentleman!

    That's the attitude needed when we play Bling F.C.

    Doesn't leave much room for a draw ; )

    I do that when I get scared sometimes ; )

    Lol. My mum gave me that thought. I was telling her that my classmates had some fascinating surnames that meant awesome things, she said ours probably meant "bricklayer or something"... Inspiring.

     

    Anyway, back on topic...

     

    So we might have a B-grade squad this season but we've got a great draw.

    • Best shown by a chance Toure had when an Indonesian player had fallen over, he had a simple ball about 10 meters that would have put one of our attackers clean through for a one on one. He over-hit it and ruined the chance. Also falling for the same old Asian team diving & time wasting, by giving away stupid fouls to let them fall over and sit on the ground for minutes. 11 minutes stoppage time is probably half what it deserved.
    • Yet again, a failure of pace and power football over technically skilled football in on display in the Olyroos vs Indonesia.  We need to develop skills over pace at all levels
    • Milanovic & Brook should have been on the next flight home at half-time.
