GRANT'S CRUSADE 

Credit to Robbie Fowler and his staff. They've managed to blend more than half a new squad together on short notice to be on track to reach the finals. 

What may have come as a concern is the activity of his assistant Tony Grant on twitter, who came out after the game on social media to rev up the Brisbane Roar fans after beating Western Sydney 3-1. 

"We are building a wall of #Siege around us for us and [Brisbane Roar Fans]... we are fighting a #referee #officials #agenda," tweeted Grant.

It was retweeted by the clubs official Twitter page and liked by player Scott McDonald and CEO David Pourre.

Many managers and coaching staff decide to opt for a siege mentality to obtain results. 

But blatant accusations of referee bias earlier this season led to action by the FFA.

Markus Babbel was constantly under the heat when he suggested referees were conspiring against him at the Wanderers. He was promptly fined $3,000. 

Is there a double standard missing here?

SYDNEY UNITED'S APPAREL DELAY 

The impact of COVID-19 has been seen in various parts of the Australian football, but Sydney United fans will have to wait for their apparel if travel bans and supply chain woes continue. 

The club posted on social media to alert their fans that due to shipping issues relating to the virus, the clubs "highly-anticipated polos are yet to arrive" in Australia from Asia. 

United fans are also awaiting for their synthetic pitch at Edensor Park to be relaid, despite already being two rounds into the season. They will return on the March 22.
