A busy schedule usually brings some logistical dilemmas, but over the next few weeks we will see some serious movers and shakers ... and I don’t mean on the dance floor. 

Transfers, injuries and momentum will all play a part. 

Melbourne City is resurgent under the guidance of Tando Velaphi in goal, who has kept two clean sheets since taking over the reins. 

Nick Kalmar has left City for the Western Sydney Wanderers and will create an opening for the aforementioned to be active in the window. 

Perth Glory will be looking to extend the lead at the top and cement its place over this crucial period. 

The squad epitomises the same character traits of a championship- winning side, but the club’s form on the road has been its Achilles heel over the past few years. 

The match against Melbourne Victory next week will give a great indication of who is the real deal. 

It’s not only going to be about football at Bluetongue this weekend. 

The people of the Central Coast Mariners need to turn up in numbers to show their support for the club. 

Recently, the Mariners held a game in North Sydney and sent strong indications that they would look to move some games away. 

The #standupforthemariners hash tag/slogan is gaining momentum, and the A-League needs the coast to be the home of the Mariners for years to come. 

Ballarat Red Devils coach James Robinson has played at the top level of soccer in Australia. He played 41 A-League games at three clubs – Melbourne Victory, Perth Glory and North Queensland.
