Bring Back Ticker!

Apart from our name change and our home colours, everything on the pitch is oh so familiar - it's the same old failing Melbourne Heart, the team that can dominate for maybe 30 minutes or a half but puts up the white flag and goes to pieces if the opposition score, while the recruiting of an injury prone 30 plus something Liam Miller to fill a short term gap was oh so typical Melbourne Heart.

 

So surely it is now time to bring back Melbourne Heart's mascot, Ticker, to run and jump around before games.

We could even have a player dropped from the starting 11 the previous week have to put on the Ticker outfit before our home game and run and jump around the pitch.

I wonder if they want our nickname to be the Rams or something...I'll stick to the Heart thanks!

Why did they pick the sheep anyway? On our badge it'd dead! Lol

On the flag of Melbourne it's dead, on our badge however it's very much alive.

There is nothing wrong with them, they are for kids. Oh hang on, they have no red on them so they probably dont have a soul right?

It was a a big enough stretch for the club to claim the adult supporters have a connection with the elements on the city of melbourne flag. Turning them into mascots for the kids is just plain laughable.

So yes, there is something wrong with them. If we're just after something for the kids, they could have kept using Bluey or just hired a clown. It would at least make sense!

But then again, we already have a handful of clowns in the office!

The mascots are derived from our badge, so why is that such a stretch?

However, do agree with the adult supporters remark.

Because it's such a tenuosly thin connection to explain to a kid why we have a cow, a sheep and whale as our mascots.

At least with the manchester aliens the kids won't be wondering why. They're just fucking aliens and kids think they're cool.

sooner or later the kids will realise how stupid they are too. They're smarter than you think.
