I usually go for an evening walk in a nearby reserve here in Moorabbin, and I've noted that for the past three weeks on a Monday evening looks like a batch of City youngsters (say 11-14 year-olds), with about five adults organising and watching on, doing some training for around 60-90 minutes.
I've not seen them there previously.
That's awesome mate. It might not be popular but those people will always remember that

I agree with you to some degree. Success is never given and I would not feel comfortable with supporters who felt entitled to success. Partly this is about the scale of our collapse, and the sense of the shambolic and ill judged which surrounds it. This happens to the best of clubs and the best of supporters, so it's not existential if the club takes the right steps and recognises the root of the issues.
More than the poor results, the poor structure on the field or the revolving door selections, what flags to me that all is not right is the number of players who have just decided to up and leave (Hamza Sakhi being just the latest), the apparent tensions reported in the dressing room, and the stumbling development of the latest graduates of our youth program. All of this can be fixed if the root causes are honestly recognised.
Then the club needs to address its long term weakness, the engagement of its fans and the clubs identity. I won't resile from the fact that CFG made some fucking stupid, arrogant decisions when they first took over, with our colours and name, and we're still paying the price for that. This was particularly a problem for many UK heritage supporters who had no love for, or an actual visceral loathing for, Manchester City. Some of us stayed, some didn't. But it did break some of my instinctive connection with the club. I chose Heart because its colours were the same as my home town club. Beyond that, I want us to try and rebuild that connection and identity. I've got no magic wand solution, but connection to players, especially our home grown talent, is important. I'd rather be fighting to get in the six with a group of committed home grown youngsters than being where we are with a bunch of players we barely know, or who appear not to care.
It's been a crap season. That's OK. I've seen plenty of those supporting Walsall. What we do now, how the problems are addressed and fixed, will be what matters.
They need to make a policy no victory or Western united players. Why? Fook em that's why

Nothing shits me more than when Natel completely stops all momentum of the play, by standing there with the ball at his feet staring at his defender. For him to shoot and pass it terribly.
There is not a fucking defender in the league worried about what you are going to do.. There is a reason why they let you have the ball inside the box and don't bother trying to put pressure on you.
I never noticed that now I can't stop noticing. Geez

New bloke at work said he'll go for Melbourne city but I have a feeling he only said that so I'll move out of the hall way

BTW, you won't find much coverage of the NPL on the club web-site. I asked the club about this last season and was told "we don't like to tread on the toes of the Football Victoria...."
Sums up football in this country.

Was there ever a season with so much despondency? Club and fans seem to have lost their way. Even with Unlucky John and Wazza we somehow had spirit, but now it all seems just too hard...
The problem is we have three Melbourne teams who play at aami and there's really no difference between us all. Who are our club legends? We spoken about it before.

It's just not a good squad this season after we lost so many players. We just need to be competitive

This weekend Melbourne city kick off the VPL season which is the division below the NPL.
We're got rivals western united and victory in and diamanti as head coach. To me this competition is a bit of a hidden gem there's a chance for some good action so might be worth getting behind the lads this season.
