  1. This is all true and it's a pity for the supporters who cannot make it on Sunday.  No time slot would put soccer in the pole position.  Odd timing but not uncommon in our culture.  2pm is the popular spot in AFL and EPL. The league doesn't stop for international breaks. It's unlikely that they would accommodate for the community soccer. 

  2. Bos should replace Jamo. He offers more as he's the overlapping fullback. This is better for the team  than just playing him as a winger,  where we already play Leckie and Nabbout. 

    Galloway should be on the other side. 

    Captaincy band keeps Jamo in the starting team.

  3. We are underperforminng comparing to the last season.  This is based on the unconvincing results against the top teams.

    However, if we look at the ladder and points, the whole situation is a bit controversial. We are exactly where we were last season.  We even lost less games. 

    The last season competition was (hopefully) the weakest ever due to Covid. And yet we just won Premiers by 2 points. But there was that undeniable feeling that we can't lose the race.

    We have weaker squad and the coach is facing better strategist. It's all very confusing.

  4. Football is number one sport over there  it's what AFL is here, at least in Victoria.  Fan-led review to be taken seriously requires that level of community engagement. It's not about active fans, it's about broad membership base breads and lives with the club. In those conditions the club has to very careful with the fundamental changes. 

    How is all this comparable to the soccer and City. There are 3 to 7 thousands people attending the game. There are posters on this forum who don't go to the our games. This is where it starts. This is how you make the game influential in the community. 

    Heart legacy is just exaggerated.  It was short with no results and followed by only the bunch of people.  I still remember the very first game. Those members are still with the club, quietly attending the games. 

    Of course that the colour transition from red to blue was not dealt properly.  There was no significant discount for members to exchange the old kits. This is why you see old red jerseys,  even most people wear blue these days. 

  5. Grand final is not pointless.  Ask yourself or any footy fan. Our club soccer is very much targeted only to local competition. The final is the only event which is covered by all media.  International football is reserved for EPL and Socceroos. 

    I will be still dreaming about seeing my City versus overseas club at the home venue.
