13/14 Expectations - Get Excited

[Boffins]

Funny thing is no one who's not dressed in your color coded standard seems to be telling you how to dress so neck up mate and stop re hashing your simplistic view that we should be a sea of red and white cause clearly not everyone wants to dress head to toe in merch. Im aware people watch the home end but it's you who's having a whinge about people's clothes and not the army of people you say want the grand spectacle of people dressed the same as you. I'm telling you maybe you should focus on the game and not the appearance of your fellow terrace members it's getting old

[kingofhearts]

We should probably focus on getting everybody to chant first before we worry about what they wear lol. Walk before you can crawl

[Red or Dead]

 

 

 

Do you not think it would add to that spectacle if the group chanting our players to the win wore the same colours as the club they're chanting for?

 

nope.

 

Nah. Not really.

 

Okay then. Fair enough.

I do find that some of these kids wearing thier polo's that stand in the front row and don't sing. That's the only problem I sometimes have with them but I don't give a fuck what they wear.

[theresonlyonebzamora]

is it fair enough though? cause if you or someone else brings it up three months from now and we go through it all again i will be reminding you that you've said it's 'fair enough'.

 

enough nitpicking at fans whether it's a joke or not. welcome to have your opinion(s), i wouldn't say it doesn't bother me but you are entitled to it it's just best to keep it to yourself or those in your immediate vicinity rather than through a channel mostly populated with people who disagree (whether they partake or not).

You really need to work on your public speaking and debating skills my friend because I simply made a statement and it was a sarcastic statement at that.

 

I did not whinge at all and no I do not expect EVERYONE to be wearing Heart merch head to toe (and no, I don't do that) either. What I do expect is that I should be able to make a statement, voice my opinion and share my views on a public forum without everyone getting all so defensive. Just like Braveheart and Sash, you could've answered simply and maturely, instead of going on a typing rampage! 

 

You think you should be able to wear whatever you want in the Active Area, I think more of the Active fans should wear Heart colours; it's called difference of opinion and makes for a healthy debate!   Just coz you think "it's getting old" it doesn't mean everyone should stop talking about it.

Would it make someone a flog if they alternated between the merch from head to toe look and the buttoned up Fred Perry polo look week by week?

It's fair enough that they think that. They answered my question and I appreciate their point of view.

 

So most people in this channel disagree with me, that's also fair enough. Doesn't mean I have to stop voicing my opinion no matter how unpopular.

 

As I recall this isn't the "Yarraside Forum", this is the "Melbourne Heart Supporters" forum and I am a Melbourne Heart Supporter.

Want to see an improved clothing performance from Foxe. Last years shit wardrobe has hopefully been burnt and replaced with a Studio Italia bag of fruit. That'll lift the lads on the pitch.

The only time I ever brought this "people's clothing choices" up in the past was in April and I got some backlash then so I thought I make joke about it tonight as a passing sarcastic statement and I get my head bitten off again! Lol

 

You guys need to relax. I don't understand why you get so worked up on this matter, I'm not bloody ordering you all to wear red and white, I just voiced my opinion that I think it'd look better! lol

 

So get off your high-horse Mr. leave the yarraside to the core! Core of what?

People generally get worked up because the argument that active support should wear more merch is generally accompanied with 'if they really supported the club they would wear merch'.

This is a serious slap in the face to many by questioning the dedication they have to the club. I have found that the most dedicated supporters i have come across, in particular active supporters, do not wear merch.

[Jake]

I don't give a toss what people wear, but it's obvious that a sea of red and white would look better, as would everyone chanting. Bit hard to argue against that ain't it?

[Dylan]

IMO, id feel a little strange wearing anything but red and white in the active area, as I would feel a little left out, or different. But couldnt care less if it were merch or not. I actually have a freind who makes her own red and white clothes to wear to games, even knitted me a giant red and white scarf

I'm sort of the same, generally any sporting event i go to (afl, a-league, nrl) i always make an effort to wear my teams gear, but if not it's not really a big deal. In a perfect world yes, it would be good for all of yarraside to be wearing red and white clothing, but as long as people are chanting and contributing to yarraside they can wear polka-dot pyjamas for all i care 

[Peter]

I enjoy the merch/button up banter.

What I don't understand though is the blokes who refuse to wear merch to games, and then go home and stroke their Jason Hoffman badges as they go to sleep.

[hakz7]

I don't care what colours people where as long as it's not blue.

[Dylan]

I expect the club not to sing another washed up marquee, only for them to have a shit year, not being able to run out a game, then try to get rid of him in pursuit of another marquee target. Only to have that marquee target use them as leverage and the deal fall through. THEN the original marquee leaves and they still have to pay half his wages. 

 

People on here sometimes bag the stephen grey recuitement....But fuck me this is just bad.

When we play the visitors is the only time i cant except it. ( Go the pink polo for the derby`s )

 

How about getting back on topic  lol

[schrecky]

Wow, the 13/14 expectations based on this thread seems to be fashion related.

 

I just want the team to win more than we lose, and win at home most of the time.

 

Well maybe i want to see Aziz tear it up as well.... Cant beleive they loaned him back to us. Our win i guess

[mattyh001]

my expectation (or at least very high hopes) is that Heart actually give us a home final.  that is no more excuses, just solid / consistent performance week in week out.

 

that in itself implies a top 4 finish, and thereby the ability to actually (a) not play like shite in the last 5 games - losing all of them like last season, and (b.) the ability to get goals, points and wins outside of Melbourne.

 

and to finish above the visitors would be nice too, after all their skyting about last season under Postecoglou and Liverpool game.  would be sweet to have a derby in the finals classed as a home game just to shit 'em right up.  as if the 5-0 trouncing we would give out in a finals game wouldn't be enough

Edited August 11, 2013 by mattyh001

[Red or Dead]

I reckon finishing above Victory is very achievable. Even though they have the more experienced coach we have the more experienced team.

 

I think at this point they have one player over 30 and that's Archie Thompson! Their average age is around 22.6 whereas our average is 24.90, which I reckon is much more balanced.

 

Engelaar shouldn't have an issue bullying Nicholls around! lol

[Kiro Kompiro]

I'll be excited when:

we win outside Victoria

we win despite conceding the first goal

we win second halves of games, especially away from home

we look fit

we have a clearly defined system of play and the tactical flexibility to implement it despite the opponent

we stop regularly conceding goals in the last 5 minutes of games

we can deliver HAL quality corners and free kicks

we have a midfield that can keep possession of the ball

 

Most of these things come down to the coaching.

 

On paper we have a top 3 side.  Will Aloisi-and it is Aloisi-make it happen?

[Ando]

I don't always wear navy tshirts, but when I do I make sure I wear them in Yarraside.

[Sash]

Being an Essendon supporter I am hanging out for Heart to commence their season,

I hear ya. It's funny how this place has become a relative source of stability, sanity, and optimism.

[sharpy]

I expect to get a photo of Harry in my terry towelling hat

[sharpy]

Oh and for the kappa training singlets to become available to the fans to buy, it can't be that fucking hard can it? Don't they realise how hot it is at some of our games?

 

Cheerleaders would be a nice touch too.

[fastfly100]

The only thing that shits me about clothing is when you see people in the active area wearing a United, or AC Milan or some big European teams kit i mean if you have enough money for that kit, why not buy a heart one to wear to the games instead.

[Young Polak]

Does that mean you guys might actually start wearing red and white colours? Instead of peach coloured t-shirts and chequered shirts buttoned all the way to the top?

An improvement on last year has already happened with the new signings, but I think top 4 and (of course) beating the Victory is a realistic aim

I spoke a lot about Top Four/Home Final being our aim last season - So I see it as the goal again for this Season.

 

I really believe if we achieve this then the fans will come out to play and the whole South thing will be forgotten.

I think we also should try to qualify for champions league. It would create more interest for the fans, and help us in attracting better players.
