A knee injury of the worst kind for Logan Rogerson

63 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Auckland FC lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Only the photograph left for Mitchell Nelson

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Mitchell Nelson will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Auckland FC the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Lawrence Thomas breaks a bone — 56 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 56 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Tempers go at Western Sydney Wanderers

Ryan Fraser was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Logan Rogerson

107 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Auckland FC lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Isiaq Rasaq is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Mitchell Nelson attracts admirers

The name of Mitchell Nelson has come up in conversations Auckland FC were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Auckland FC borrow Adam Bennett

A season-long look at somebody else’s player: Adam Bennett arrives from Brisbane Roar with something to prove and a return ticket in the drawer. Good loans make everybody richer; this one starts Saturday.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Azeez Falolu

39 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Western Sydney Wanderers lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

A fracture rules Lawrence Thomas out for 101 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Western Sydney Wanderers will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
