Summary
Isuzu UTE A-League finals football is here! Vince, Tommy and guest Alex Brosque break down the top six and what's at stake in the elimination finals this weekend. The boys react to the highlights of the final round, including Newcastle Jets' dominant 4-0 F3 Derby win over the Mariners to seal the minor premiership, a dramatic last-gasp Luka Jovanovic goal for Adelaide (and the red card that followed), and a stunning goal from Sebastian Despotovski in Perth. The boys preview both elimination finals: Sydney FC vs Melbourne Victory in the Big Blue, and Melbourne City's trip to Auckland FC. Is this Sydney side good enough? Can City bounce back after letting the win slip against Adelaide? And, is Auckland's late-season wobble a real concern heading into the finals? Plus: Wellington Phoenix appoint club legend Chris Greenacre as permanent head coach, Patrick Kisnorbo on his coaching influences and a spirited debate on the rise of the long throw-in - are you on the Ange Postecoglou side, or do you think the game will just sort it out?
