Great stuff qtip! Once it settles down, the A-League will be where it's at. $1.55 for a team on a 30 match unbeaten streak playing at home (Brisbane). You'd never see those odds in the EPL.

Smeltz can't sit still can he? Is Perth his third A-League club?

I fancy Brisbane at home this round as well.

Good luck with your bets qtip!

3-0 to Brisbane...good result. Gold Coast tested them and had the better chances for most of the first hour though.

Yep, pominoz, Smeltz's third A-League club. He's scored 51 goals in 79 appearances in the league, which compares incredibly well against Archie Thompson's 53 goals in 114 games.

I wonder which division of English football Smeltz (and other top players in the A-League) would fit into. I've seen a few like Dwight Yorke go to the Championship (2nd tier). Have any moved directly to the prem?
