Hey, so analytics are all well and good, but maybe there's a *reason* the guy was playing in the J3 League ?

There's still plenty of football to come this season, but there's no reason this Jets team — if they keep playing with the kind of style and verve we've seen the past few months — can't do the treble.

Long with a brain fade of a challenge, and Bayliss secures the points for the Jets almost immediately after.
Shot. Chaser.

First #ALeagueMen goal in almost 8 years for Lachlan Jackson. You can see why he's excited about it.

If I had a dollar for every time a team playing with 10 men for 45+ mins had won in the #ALeagueMen this week, I'd have two dollars.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice.

Respect (or lack thereof) for refs is one of my real bugbears in football, so I'm all for how Alex King handled that — both the sending off of Valkanis, and getting both captains together to lay down the law.

It's just painful to watch Victory play right now.
So utterly disjointed all across the park, and besides Nish, just completely lacking a killer instinct in the front third.

Would love to know what happened to that whole "only the captain can talk to the ref" change introduced this #ALeagueMen season.
Haven't seen any adjustment in players' behaviour, and it doesn't seem to be being enforced by the refs either.

I'm going to need someone to explain to me what the point of that two-man, kneeling attacking wall was.
Because, I mean, what the hell was that!? 😂

They might want to turn down the effects mics near the benches 😆
Some very colourful language being thrown around when that goal went in. #PERvMVC

Brisbane have won the Fair Play Award in 8 of the 20 #ALeagueMen seasons.
But from these first 25 mins, I think I can safely say that they won't be winning a 9th this season. 😆

Only took me til age 38 to win a premiership 😂. Definitely didn't think it'd be as a goalkeeper, but boy does it feel great to finally break that duck!

No, unfortunately no master list of all games. Had to go game-by-game, round-by-round to get them processed. A bit disappointing tbh

Interesting 2025/26 #ALeagueMen 's fixture for Victory.
5 straight AAMI Park games in Dec/Jan, and then 6 of 7 at AAMI between February and April.
If they can get off to a quality start *before* all of that occurs, it'll hold them in pretty good stead.

Between the misaligned text, mishmash of fonts, incorrect playing strip colours, and unnecessary flags, this might just be the worst scorebug I've ever seen 😆

They're still complaining about the disallowed goal? It clearly curled out, and the linesman was in a *perfect* position looking straight across the line. Ridiculous.

In a season that has had more away wins than any other, it's hardly surprising that the away (or nominal away) team have won 4 of the 5 #ALeagueMen finals matches thus far.
