  1. Hey guys, Good news! Talking City has been approached to do a weekly SEN show so the boys will be live on SEN every Tuesday 7-8 in season. For this first episode we are running tonight (Monday at 7pm). hope you can tune in and even call in and join the conversation.

  2. Pretty underwhelming Round 1 crowds across the board tbh. The only two games that cracked 10k were the Derby which was well-under its average pull, and the Wanderers home game which only drew 17k - disappointing for the opening game of a brand new stadium. The complete lack of marketing until literally a week ago is obviously a big factor but yeah, disappointing. Still think we can get 10k this weekend though, City fans seem to be more optimistic about this season than most given how crap the last couple of years have been for many.

  5. Even though it wasn’t the most exciting game, it was light years ahead of the bile that has been served up in the last two seasons. At least the team played on the front foot whenever they had the chance.

  6. Kone, Diamanti, Gulum, Berisha, Durante and Rudan. Western United might be the most alpha team in a-league history. Meanwhile at Melb City HQ....

  7. The problem I've noticed with that is the linesman keeps his flag down when it's offside and the keeper saves, it's then a corner.....the VAR doesn't stop the game and award the free kick for the original offisde. Team then scores from the corner, do they go back 2 phases in play and decide the original offside that led to the corner should've been awarded and the goal is disallowed. It's a slippery slope, I'd rather deal with the human element and only retain goal line technology.

  8. Do you mean five figures..? haha I'd hope we'd attract more than 1k 😶 But yeah, 4pm on Sundays is perfect for me and hopefully friendly for others.

  11. how would you be coming up against big Haz and Bjorn Johnsen in high school as a defender. Like watching Harry Souttar monster the poor Nepalese at set pieces, but there's two of them.

  13. Personally, I'm happy with the price I've paid and redeemed the 10% and went to the free FFA Cup match. That being said, I know there'd be a lot of people who wouldn't have though and so I'm not surprised if they'd have a sour taste in their mouth, particularly if you're a family of say 4 - a minor discount would be fine but this is really quite large which I feel tarnishes the value perception for people having purchased full price memberships. If the objective is to purely foot traffic then why not lower the base of the full cost and discount marginally for these membership drive days - I'd be interested to see the data post-season on avg. games attended from people who have purchased on a whim due to heavy discounts. As they've paid less, there may feel less obligated to attend due to their lower investment, they don't need to attend as many games to feel they've received value (e.g. deciding to go when weather is inclement or if you have an event clash). Bringing down the base cost of the membership would reduce the barrier of entry for people signing up and make us less reliant on people signing up on a whim when it's heavily discounted - this way you still capture the rusted on but potentially raise the avg. games attended which translates into greater crowds and more $$$ spent in and around the stadium. I find the whole discussion around memberships and pricing quite interesting, the other issue this raises will be people buying an active membership and then just sit in GA because that's cheaper than a GA membership and could leave our active area more bare than ever.

  14. I get the angst of being an existing rusted on faithful and paying full price (most were offered 10%) and then seeing 25 to 50% offer. But really that's the whole point of being a rusted on. Pay extra, go every week, put up with mediocre performances all in the hope of every now and then getting a bit of pleasure/enjoyment. Pretty much like being married.

  15. FWIW i think Delbridge had a better season than Bart last season. I dont for a second think he's the better player of the two though. I'd be picking Bart 99 times out of 100 given the option at this point in time, although who knows going forward if Delbo continues to improve. Although still very good, i dont think Bart was as good last year as he was the year before.

  16. This was precisely the comment I was about to make. Flexible to the extent of being spineless
