  1. Round 19 - Visitors FC v Melbourne FC - Sat Feb 2 7.45pm - Etihad Stadium

    in Melbourne City

    Posted

    I sat in the general admission area on level 1 which so happen to be all victory. If the media cameras were there in that area then the spot light would be on them not us.

    The language they used towards us Heart supporters which was 5 of us was disgusting and the way they were acting was feral. I watched yarraside from where we were and guys i must say ur voices could be heard loud and clear.

    I had this problem as well, I sat on bottom level reserved seat (my old man supports the other team and this was his only derby he could get to so we decided to sit in a neutral area)

    Anyway when we scored me and about the other 10 heart supporters near jumped up

    We got told very quickly to sit the fuck down

    So I gave them a bit of "SUUUUUPER SUPER DAVE" which they thoughrly didn't enjoy

    I thought I would wait till after the victory game to see how it sounded to pass judgement

    And to be honest I'm not a massive fan of the crowd yelling the last name, apart from when they said Bru I couldn't tell what they were saying.

    Might be worth a try but there needs to be an improvement in the scoreboard when teams getting read out IMO

    Here's what I think

    - we read out opposition like we always have (number 3 Adama Traore, and his picture comes up)

    - after all them have been read out, you put up their full team in formation position

    - now for us, however the name gets read out (either by announcer or by y-side)

    Number 4 Simon Colosimo

    - up on the scoreboard is some game vision of the player doing something, then it freezes and COLOSIMO comes up on the screen

    And so on

    - at the end again you put the whole team up in position formation

    With the way it is now, we have no real difference to the opposition

    Now I might cop a bit for this but I thought Williams was poor, he is up against a 17 yr old first gamer and it took till the 88th minute for him to get around him down the sideline. Also while GolGol is on he can't take corners or free kicks

    agreed about williams for the most part, but seriously didn't you see gol gol's free kick? he's also the only one to score directly from a free kick this season. a fuck load better than others who blast it 10 metres over the goal or straight into the wall.

    sat in GA level 3 with me old man and my mate, he seemed bemused for the first 20 mins or so but was enjoying those giving it to large to archie. hopefully he'll be back. self enforced ban of getting drunk was a shame, could've done with it.

    went to cherry afterward, full of shit cunts so went home to bed.

    I think you have misread my free kicks comment

    While GolGol is on, Williams can't take free kicks or corners

    I want GolGol taking them

    Pretty disgusted with a lot of our own fans last night. Mainly the derby specials. Had an incident with a bunch of drunk misogynistic non-chanting wankers guys in the row behind me. Spoilt a lot of the night for me. Disappointing when the effort on the pitch was actually very heartening.

    Hope we can build on that for next week. Tadic injury another blow for us but thank goodness we've got Eli back, and there's always DMac rotting in the reserves too.

    D-Mac hasn't played since Adelaide game. He also is injured

    Groin IIRC

    The yarraaide is much much better than them

    Was it just me or did the sing the same song all night. I was fucking over that we are Melbourne, the boys in blue shit

    On to the game, well the effort was there but they are a very polished unit

    Redmayne was superb

    Walker kept Rojas in reasonable check, Mitchinson was killed by Thompson

    The midfield didn't hold onto the ball well enough, after their first goal we gave the ball up the next 5 possessions

    Now I might cop a bit for this but I thought Williams was poor, he is up against a 17 yr old first gamer and it took till the 88th minute for him to get around him down the sideline. Also while GolGol is on he can't take corners or free kicks

    Now onto etihad that is the worst place to watch football, they can move the bottom deck seats in so why don't they?

    And also was it just me or could no body really see the scoreboard, the vision was blurry

    I wouldnt have thought Hoffman was a viable option at LB either, but it was done

    Because JA felt we did not even have a NYL player capable of playing the position, such were are injuries...

    You have inadvertanly backed up my point

    We didnt have a NYL player (Mitchinson) for the position last week, but now the same player is apparantly ready against the best performed player in comp

    Dont get me wrong Id like to see Mitchinson play, but i'm not sure if JA has the same ideas as us

    Looks like we take to many risks and haven't learnt:

    Skoko was a risk and didn't pay off.

    Fred was a risk and we can't get a full 90 minutes out of him.

    Grella was a risk and lasted 22 minutes.

    Gary was a risk and has played one game in which we conceded 3 goals.

    Shall I go on?

    Bad decision making. Heads need to roll and I blame JD and JA.

    Im not trying to defend the bloke but the 1 game Gray played none of the goals were his fault

    IIRC

    Goal 1 - Hoffman decided he didnt want the ball anymore 5 metres outside box and Fenton ran into open goal

    Goal 2 - Marronne pushed Brockie fair and square in the back on a cross, penalty

    Goal 3 - Vrankovic went walk abouts and left Brockie alone in the box, and Bolton should have done better

    I think he is worth taking for rest of year

    Hes natural position is the position we need and he shows a bit of aggression and he shows that he cares, something we lack at times

    Also it's another natural leader to the club

    We could do worse I think

    Yeah I wanted to ask if that would dictate a formation change but JA gave the impression we will stick with 4-3-3. And then someone asked an incredibly long question :D

    I thought he answered that - there will not be a formation change. He said moving to a 4-4-2 will not work.

    I reckon we're gonna see Golgol, Eli and probably Vrankovic (demoted after giving away the penalty) on the bench this week. If Kalmar starts again, I see Golgol replacing him and Eli replacing Thomo(?) and playing behind Tadic ;-)

    Who is playing CB then? It seems clear it won't be Gray

    Just for anyone wondering, im assuming this is how Victory will line up

    Coe

    Foschini - Leijer - Ansell - Traore

    Milligan - Broxham

    Celeski

    Flores

    Rojas--------------------------Thompson

    So the need for a real strong CB combo isnt needed as needed as in other games, so im not against Gerhardt pushing up to DM to take Flores

    Garcia has to play as the AM, the role Fred usually plays to make Milligan accountable.

    Williams is one of the keys this week, in first derby he got around Foschini every time, hopefully he can do that again

    Also if GolGol is fit I think he needs to start, he played with Traore at GC, so hopefully he knows how to unlock it to get around him. and he will also make Traore work back defensively

    I hate David Carney but unfortunately we'd have to look at him. Better option than Hoffman and only if he takes a wage of $100k or less. Is he clubless?

    I know he got cut from his Uzbekistan club (the ones that Adelaide played in ACL - Bunyikor or something like that)

    and I believe he is clubless

    My team now

    Redmayne

    Walker - Gerhardt - Gray - Thompson

    Germano - Kalmar

    Garcia

    Merbrahtu - Tadic - Williams

    Bolton - Mitchinson - Babalj - Edwards

    Thompson played a bit a LB for Newcastle, here is his chance to regain a bit of supporter support against Rojas

    I would prefer a bit of expirience over Mitchinson who I think Rojas would run rings around (because of his lack of expirience, not his ability)

    Also people saying season over, were still 6th. If we can sneak a finals spot I can guarntee Victory or Adelaide wont want to play is in a knockout final
