Video highlights here. Looks like you might be being a kind kind there, Dodge!
Dunno about that but Shane Robinson and Jason gavin are playing a very poor semi pro level. RObinson, at least, has to work. I've heard the playing level compared to "mid level Leinster Senior League"Originally Posted by pineapple stu

Jason Gavin - Stirling Lions in the West State League. There's some drop from the Premier League alright. Robinson at the same club.

As far as i know, Robinson got himself a move to a bigger club a good few leagues above stirling lions.
Standard in those video's doesn't look great.
As for the team names......."Cockburn City FC"
Is it wrong that when I saw this thread the first thing i thought was:
And the second thing I thought was No Thanks!!
Also in fairness to that Greene chap, the league is a mess, there is no money and clubs are going bust.

He was offered something down there after he finished with Bray iirc and decided not to take it at the time.
The goalkeeper has his weight listed as 15st and he's only 6'2" - surely that's very chunky for a GK??

The 2 lads are the absolute spit of each other!
Might set up a profile and see if I can get a free holiday Ali Dia style.

Adam Hughes is doing quite well over there. Playing in the A-League for Adelaide United.He had a poor season last year but apparently this year he's been a lot better
He's no Bill Foulkes!
No Shane Robinson is still with the Stirling Lions. There was an article on him in this weeks Munster Express. He was voted their player of the year this season. They lost the championship final there. It says the league he is playing in is one level below Australian A League.
How good is the A-League I've only seen the highlights programme on sky a couple of times and it didnt look great.
Has anyone got a more educated opinion of it?
and does any one know what attendances are like in the state leagues?
Standard really isn't that good, players from Eng Lge 1 actually look decent in it so Robinson should be good enough to make of the squads.
Crowds vary, Melbourne Victory are probably the best supported & can get up to 20,000 to a game but I'd day the league average is closer to 8000 with the newer sides struggling to get over 5000
I went to a couple of games there last year. As Bunny says, Melbourne had about 20,000 at their League semi-final, but the next evening at the second semi, there was only about 2,000 at it. A couple of the other games ranged from 10,000 to 15,000. There was a good atmosphere at all the games I was at.
Shane Smeltz was the League's top scorer, having played non-League in the UK a couple of seasons before.

Ridiculous to have a go at him for his comment!
Wasn't James Timmons of UCD down in Australia last season?
He was for a while, yeah. He re-joined us mid-way through last season. Think he's with the LSL team now.
