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.

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

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.

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

@bovidae I’m all honesty I would rather Hemed but unfortunately he wants to stay in Aus, Hooper when he was here didn’t seem interested hopefully with a pre-season under his belt he’ll be a lot fitter and gel a lot better.
'Uninterested' Hooper managed to average a goal or assist a game for the nix. He's probably a better player on paper but Hemed's form is pretty irresistible. If Devlin stays I'd be happy for them to keep both Hemed and Hooper, but if his rumoured departure is confirmed then we probably need a visa spot to replace him.
There are also rumours that we're negotiating with a potential Davila replacement. Talay has a fantastic recruitment record compared to most of our previous managers so I'm feeling optimistic that we can bring in someone good.

On paper to real life is a lot different, saying that I’m optimistic with a full pre season under his belt.
As for a Devlin Newcastle are throwing mega $$ at him to get him so I’d say he’s good as gone, Steinmenn is a free agent
