  1. Season's fucked. Clear out, sack the manager, play the kids. Can't get any worse. Start from scratch. There's no pride in this. And kick Jakolis out now.
  2. 5. Really has to be knives out. Just utterly shite. Not even any fight.
  3. Perfect storm. Management, playing style, huge turnover in players, heap of injuries.
  4. Not impressed with Jakolis' simulation. That's twice in two games. For me he can fuck right off if he wants to do that. I'd rather finish rock bottom than cheer players who cheat. But in a wider context we have been decimated with injuries, on top of huge changes in the close season. Suspect it's going to be a struggle. Even worse because I suspect Victory and all their sycophants in the media are going to be insufferable this season.
  5. Loving the commentator's pronunciation of Reis. Sounds like he's gargling phlegm.
  6. Found his range I think. Both to a similar spot with players coming round the back from deep.
  7. Suspect he'll frustrate a lot but then strike gold once or twice a game. He gets enough ball and space, and he has pace.
  8. Fair comment. Jakolis is an 80% player, he has a lot that you'd want, but frustrates for the lack of the 20%, which in his case seemed usually to be the final ball. Has pace, finds space, but nothing comes of it. There's potential, but he's not there yet. Also agreed that we looked better than I feared we might, though we have been finding some shape and form as pre season has progressed. Still some way to go yet. Yes, Arslan is excellent. And Macca looks up for it. Defence worries me most.
  9. I'll be pleased to be converted. The one moment he had in the box I thought he showed promise, but there wasn't much else. Jakolis is frustrating. He has pace and gets into a lot of good positions but then does bugger all with it. Like Lachie Wales a few years back...
  10. One good move and then useless.
  11. Any views on the disallowed goal? Know it was offside but was it marginal and crap, or genuine?
  12. It's the best they can do. And it'll then be a reasonable journey for me, as that's my line into the city.
  13. It is a bugger of a place to get to. Close to the rail line, but about halfway between the current Tarneit and Wyndham Vale stations. Will even be a bugger to drive as the road network round there is still a mess. I'm not holding my breath for the new station, though if and when it's built, it will become very accessible.
  14. https://jdlmedia.news/2023/10/13/leckie-ahead-of-schedule-in-recovery-eyes-round-alm-one-return/
  15. Largely relevant to the violent gargoyles that follow Victory. They should ban most of them.
  16. Absolutely brilliant if true.
  17. Agreed. I do like him. Bit of a supersub and changes the game when he comes on.
  18. I watched on TV and I would struggle to disagree with much of that. We were much sharper all over the pitch. None of the rusty doziness from the Oakleigh game. Us much better or Wellington worse? I'd give us a lot of credit TBH. The defence looked way sounder and the midfield is beginning to click. McLaren was simply a different player.
