If that's the case, does this mean Melbourne have already qualified for the Asian Champions League in 2008 and if Melbourne also win the GF, who will be the second team should Adelaide not make the GF this year? Would it be the 2nd placed team at the end of the regular season or the Grand Final loser?
Yes it was our premier and champion that will compete this year but our season is askew with theirs and they need to know the entrants before the end of the year hence why its our last seasons' premiers and champions.
Melbourne might not be assured of a position as they might get caught in the "off year" as the seasons may come into allignment or an agreement on Australia naming their sides to await our champions/premiers may happen for next year, I think the A-League season is moving slightly too.
