  7. Seasons over. Was it a pass/fail? Discuss.

    I was comforted by the potential ACL playoff spot after the Jets loss but then remembered:

    - Victory will most likely pull an absolute rabbit out of their ass and edge us out like just about every other season.

    - If we do get the ACL playoff spot, we will somehow bottle it against the Myanmarese fourth place side who will seek political asylum in the away leg.

    I miss the ice wheelie-bin days :lol:

    Here are the highlights.

    -100 games for Temperley

    - 2 goals (Typical Brandan celebrations)

    - gets a player sent off

    - fights the keeper (thought this had the footage of it, but its when he gets up from rolling)

    Welcome to your typical Victorian state league game...

    That seems a bloody odd choice by him, anyone know the strength of the Israel league?

    To be honest, it's not too bad a move given that the top three teams at the end of the season make a European competition (1st: Champions League second round qualifying, 2nd & 3rd: Europa League first round qualifying).

    Domestically, he's signed for a former powerhouse who were regular league champions alongside Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv a decade ago, more recently though, the league has become more even with 'smaller clubs' taking the title. Yossi Benayoun (Israel's most capped player) is a club legend there and helped them qualify for the Champions League as well as win the title during the late 90's early 00's.

    Continentally, Maccabi Haifa have been in and out of the Champions League (and Europa League) over the past decade but struggled - they did have a famous win over Man Utd in 2002 though!

    All in all, time will tell if it's been a good move I guess...

    A good read for anyone who remembers MHFC's Jeremy Walker and his trip to the U.K post Heart:

    “He [Holloway] asked me if I was a footballer. And asked if I had my gear and gave me a kit and I ended up staying for six weeks, training and playing with the reserves and seniors at Millwall,”

    Ex-Perth Glory flyer Adrian Zahra is relishing a crack at his former Hyundai A-League club in the Westfield FFA Cup Round of 32.

    Zahra, 26, now plays for PS4 NPL Victorian club Heidelberg United, who will host Glory in a marquee tie of the opening round of the FFA Cup at Olympic Village next month.

    Does anyone know of a place that would be open today that sells & prints a-league names on jerseys in Melbourne?

    Also, has anyone heard if the club is still doing the trade in your old shirt for the 2015/16 +$30?

    Not sure about Malik...

    Pros: strong bodied defender who is experienced at domestic level (and is still just 25)

    Cons: horrific brain fades and at times, awful distribution

    Big gamble by CFG, could either be the missing piece in the puzzle or literally cost us a title going on prior form

  16. Melbourne City survey

    in Melbourne City

    Posted

    Foundation 2010/11 member and submitted the survey with these points:

    • CFG's ownership has turned an underdog club with soul into a globalised marketing exercise.
    • I feel more of a 'shareholder' than a 'member' under the City moniker.

    How do others feel?

    Saw a stack of city kits (home and away) at the Nike outlet in South Wharf the other week, they were no where near that cheap though ($70 from memory). That was a few weeks ago so might have been reduced since then, there was a lot of them there

    Thanks for that!

    Went in today and bought the home and away for $30 each. There aren't any mediums left in home (only XL or XXL left) but the away has all sizes.
