Disappointing indeed. I think that was a bit of a con job by the ground announcer(s), although IIRC there was an image up on the screen that hinted at red. However there was nothing, even a hint, from the club. Crowd: 4,010. Acceptable considering the COV-19 seating, Monday night and the weather.

Deluka Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Massive missed opportunity by the club to keep the red and white for the home game against CCM and build on the momentum from last season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that was the impression I got. Edited March 22, 2021 by Mr MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Big fail on an otherwise good night. Haven't seen the TV coverage. Anyone got what our esteemed Captain said after the match about AAMI Park and VicPol re the treatment of fans?

Harrison Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Very impressed. A complete performance from us and we totally dominated. Kept them to zero shots on target. All lines were strong and worked hard. The only concern is Nuno Reis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a con job, at that point in time the intent was to play in red and have a proper 'retro round' akin to last season's 10 year anniversary. Unfortunately there was an issue getting the third kit organized (I don't know the details) and the retro game has been delayed to another home game later in the year, I've been advised it will still take place. For those who enjoyed (or didn't) The Living End winning song I'd advise you let the club know, as they're interested to see what the response to it was. Definitely went with a Melbourne based band on purpose. Edited March 23, 2021 by Embee 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if a roving microphone is already used, then get the volume right please? It is so frustrating to be able to hear only the answer and not the question. On the kit question - that sounds a pretty feeble excuse TBH. I've got R&W replica jersey if they need to borrow one just for one match. I'd want it washed afterwards though.

Other Ground announcer(s) here, its not as simple as having a kit ready unfortunately. plenty of support internally for it they just didnt want to half cook the idea. Will run later in the year and will be great fun. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fensaddler Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 The collective view of the Bellarine Massive is that Talking City have now so comprehensively sold out to the man that we should buy you a copy of Highway 61 Revisted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
