Gloves Off with Bozza | South Melbourne WIN Aus Cup | A-League Season Predictions | EPL with Tommy Johnson | 13/10/26

Oh, Australian Cup Final, watch the scenes.

Absolutely amazing.

I tweeted about it last night.

Uh, it, we're, we're gonna have, uh, the chairman of South Melbourne-

Bill Papastergiadis

... yep, yeah, Papasteriadis.

Um, uh, he's gonna come on the show, along with Tommy Johnson as well.

All I wanna say is this, that was just outstanding.

It really was.

What, the scenes that I saw was outstanding.

And to say to everybody, especially the powers that be in Australian football, and I know I've harped on about this, you know this, I've harped on since the Fox days [laughs] when people used to like, sort of look at me and go, "Oh, he's like a broken record." If that's not evidence enough right in front of your face what this sport can be-

Mm

...

if it's aligned properly, if it does have promotion relegation, if everybody feels a part of it, then I'm, I'm sorry, but I really fear for the future if you can't see that in front of your face right now.

Now I know, and we'll ask Bill about this, and we, you and I, we, we, we spoke briefly about it last week with Steve Rozich, the head of the A-League.

There are certain reasons that people keep going on about.

I got a tweet this morning from a guy called Gibbo talking about financial models.

And I confess, I don't know much about that.

But what I do know about is football, and that feeling that no matter...

Because you haven't got control over this, Adam, where you're born in Australia.

All right? That shouldn't matter where you're born, that you've got the opportunity to play for your club team, and they've got the opportunity, if they're good enough, to get to the top level.

That's what the Australia Cup is about.

Mm.

That's why it's been so successful.

That's why I campaign so heavily for it to start.
