RedAndWhitePride

Come on mate, I understand that they are close to each other, but let's be honest, if he was staying at MV would he like that post?

That Insta post I put in the other thread certainly makes that very believable. For those who haven't seen it, Troisi clicked 'like' on a vid that Cahill put up of his cracking goal v Victory at Etihad last season.

He's coming y'all!!

Was at the game and the event during the week and can vouch for what others are saying re his hard line approach. Very vocal on the sideline and based on the match, the likes of Brattan and Bruno have been working very hard, and one interesting observation that was noted was that every time a player slipped through the opposition defence for a one on one with the keeper; Wazza would urge the player to 'not look back' and move forward, which is a really good sign that the players are being urged to take their chances and not hold back. The 'no fancy stuff' was nice to hear too, and not wasting possession also seemed to be a large emphasise of the forward play as well. Early days, but the game was enjoyable to watch.

Launching next Thursday night, confirmed. Keen for the City Blueeee.

In. Yes plz for active.

RedAndWhitePride I mean CityBluePride

Someone mentioned last week in a thread that the City Blue shirts would only be two weeks away, so maybe we will see them at these friendlies?

Looks beautiful, and looks a bit like the new Liverpool home jersey, too. Oh, one can dream.

Make that all red, and you've got yourself a kit.

Suits him.

There's only one Melbourne Heart, one Melbourneeee Heart.

Jeez Louise. If he does become manager, then obviously he deserves a chance to prove himself, but if this goes all pear shaped...

Welcome home King Euge.

And, look, fair enough that people would be wanting a much more internationally recognised marquee player, but if Troisi fits the bill in terms of addressing a need in midfield, and with a (hopefully) World Cup year coming up, I can really see the benefits of this. Anyway, we'll just see what happens first.

Yes plz to Troisi. People saying we can do so much better, well, in terms of proven performances in the league etc, apart from the likes of Mooy, can we really? He would add some serious grunt to our midfield, and at the same time, would weaken Victory's (though there's rumours about them getting Milligan back, but still). Not to mention the spice it would add to the derby, imagine all the booing etc at the Etihad derby, would be awesome to see. 😂

Would lol if this happens.

Would actually lol if that occurred. Oh god, please let that one be true. The thing I like about the green seats is that it provides a neutral colour for all four tenants that play at AAMI, however if the city blue seats did occur, it would show that CFG are in for the long term (not that they haven't so far).

City Blue Roy Keane Mitch Nichols You know you want it.

What farken bullshit.

Fact: the A-League is barely half as entertaining without their active areas up and firing. And I'm not saying that people who choose to focus on the game are being fuckwits or whatever, but it goes without saying that more passion in the terraces = a much better match day atmosphere. Take for example a Visitor's home game that I went to recently. For forty odd mins you could hear a pin drop and the game itself was as bland as any that I've seen. Then, the back row North Terrace or whatever they're called now started to fire up, and bam, like magic, not only was it much better in the stands, but the standard of the game picked up too and the energy of the place became much more lively. I know using the Visitors is an extreme example, but they're the facts - active areas are a huge draw card to the league, and need to be embraced and not shitted upon. And that's my rant for the night.

AFL *clap clap clap*

😍😍

Yep, feeling a backs to the wall win in this one - much like the 2-1 win against Sydney at home when we were Heart and Williams scored the late winner after being 1-0 down.
