Central Coast Mariners

Newly installed A-League chief Steve Rosich won't rule out the prospect of a Canberra men's side or Western United in the 2026-27 season, while interest to purchase the Mariners builds.

Juan Mata led Melbourne Victory to a 4-0 humbling of Sydney FC, while City got walloped 6-2. All that and more in this week's A-League Men stocks.

Alen Stajcic's time in Western Sydney has come to an end, while Craig Goodwin reminded everyone -- especially Socceroos boss Tony Popovic -- of his class.

The Central Coast Mariners are dealing with issues on and off the field. Meanwhile Perth put in the most dominant performance of the new Adam Griffiths era.

Mark Milligan has turned the Newcastle Jets into the A-League's must-watch side. Meanwhile, things look like they're turning sour at the Wanderers.

Under pressure and looking for a hero, Melbourne Victory found the win they needed thanks to some sumptuous play from Juan Mata.

As far as press conferences go, Adam Griffiths' on Friday was an all-timer. But whatever the Glory coach is saying to his squad, it's working: Perth's stocks are soaring.

Alen Stajcic delivered a passionate plea following WSW's epic win in the Sydney Derby, while Melbourne City's attacking stocks are plummeting.

Sydney FC are top of the table and looking ominous. The same can't be said for Juan Mata's Melbourne Victory, with Arthur Diles' stocks beginning to slide.

Saturday's Kiwi Clásico had everything the A-League could hope for, while the pressure is ramping up on Alen Stajcic at the Wanderers.
