The Road to the Grand Final
Australia's premier football competition has entered its most exciting phase. The dominance of the Central Coast Mariners over the last two years is being challenged by a resurgent Melbourne Victory side.
"The Finals Series is a different beast entirely," says Victory captain Bruno Fornaroli. "History matters for the fans, but on the pitch, it's about who handles the pressure in the 90th minute." Tactical flexibility will be key as teams navigate the home-and-away semi-final format.
