Another step towards the plate
We’re now well and truly past the halfway point of the season, with the business end fast-approaching.
Feeling a little bleary-eyed this morning after the late kick-off or did you just miss all of the action? 😩

We’ve got seven games remaining in our season and we sit on top of the table with both points and games in hand on the chasing pack; Adelaide, Sydney FC and Central Coast currently looking the most threatening.
After a slow start to the campaign, your City boys have looked on-song ever since – and should its current form continue over the next month – a first piece of A-League silverware beckons.
The perfect time to build momentum
We saw the team earlier this season bring up a new Club record with a run of six consecutive wins.
A memorable night at @AAMIPark… feel like we've been saying that a lot lately! 😅
A brace to Nooney and Nabbout's first goal in City colours give us the points tonight for a Club record sixth time in a row! 💪#CmonCity | #MCYvWSW | #ALeague pic.twitter.com/sgY8iuwpvs

While this did come to an end at the beginning of what was to be an up-and-down month of April, City has recovered well to now be on another win streak after knocking off Newcastle (home) and Perth (away) with 3-1 results.
City are now faced with four home games in a row so it’s the perfect time for the team to go on another strong winning run and build some momentum ahead of a finals series which will fast approach.
Continuing our home form
Another big advantage of five of our remaining seven fixtures being at AAMI Park is our strong home form across the season so far.
In eight home fixtures at AAMI Park, we’ve suffered defeat just once and that came back in January to Perth Glory.
We’ve won all of our six home matches since, and are scoring an average of over four goals per game across those fixtures.

Seeing a centurion in action
In City’s midweek win over Perth, star striker Jamie Maclaren became just the second player in A-League history to hit the 100-goal mark. If that wasn’t enough, he also became the fastest player in Australian national league history to reach the century.

Capping off a history-making night for the City number 9, he also scored again in the second half – bringing up his 50th A-League goal for the Club and bringing him to within one goal of Bruno Fornaroli’s Club record of 57 goals in all competitions.
It's not every day you score your 100th (…and 101st) @ALeague goal!
