thisphantomfortress Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 I am calling bs on the "Scott Munn hates active" narrative. Never, and I can't stress this enough, had an issue with him when we were running it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schrecky Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Yarraside , Melburnians , they don't own the active. Just a small groups that have taken the lead in coordinating. Active will go on, with or without these blokes at the helm. As long as they dont do anything silly to try and stop active like northern terrace tried. then we continue on. We thank them as they have contributed greatly over the past 9 years, but im sure a new firm will emerge and take the lead or maybe there is no named group and it happens organically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never, and I can't stress this enough, had an issue with him when we were running it. Munn gave Yarraside the best deal any Active End Operators had during the time of Heart, personally I dont know about him as being a good CEO in general (TBH his been around for the long with not much to point at) however his communication with Yarraside could not be faulted in what were the FFA standards on Active Support at the time. Understandably things at the FFA on these things have gotten stricter and stricter, and I know Munn has adjusted alongside these rules to some extent but Munn was almost never the deciding factor when it came to restrictions on Yarraside.

Tony999 Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Where is that ex-capo with the beard? Didn't mind him. Maybe time to come back. I have my comments regarding the Melburnian's both positive and negative. But I think the negativity is regarding individuals. So as a whole, they served us well. That's all I'll say about the Melburnian's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadete Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) By the way before some whizkid comes up with the bright idea to do a bit of "Copy and Paste"... Take it now this as Preemptive Cease or Desist from those who dissolved Yarraside at the ending of our football club in that of Melbourne Heart that the name "Yarraside" is remaining only ever as an Group connected to Melbourne Heart FC. A club which now sits firmly among many others in the annuals of Deceased Australian Sokka Clubs.

Whilst the Yarraside days are fondly looked back upon by many, Yarraside is dead and people should move on to new things as opposed to trying to create some kind of Frankenstein's monster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I think recent news about Melburnians Mk2 or Mk3 (I dont really know) pulling the plug has proven that Yarraside was a lot harder to run and do than you thought.

Jovan Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I'm a little concerned about what could be a dangerous situation Saturday. Now I just want to put it out there I'm no wingy pussy but making a statement prior to the game being the last in their current guise it could open the door to some less intelligent individuals as being a free hit to cross the line with idiotic/unhelpful behavior. I think a statement post game would have been more prudent. I just hope nothing too bad transpires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Sad news. there is something bothering me about this announcement though and I’m a bit surprised no one else has brought it up. As I understand the situation is that the current leadership of Melbournians has decided it’s all too hard and are giving it away. Fair enough. I don’t doubt it’s next level “thankless”. How can they announce that Melburnians are being wound up though? They didn’t found it, all they are are the current leaders, the custodians if you like. Given leadership has changed a few times already aren’t they just standing down without waiting for replacements? Surely if in the fullness of time if others come forward then they are back in business. Shoot me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised that the current leadership is stepping down, just as the leaders of Yarraside stepped down. Mainly because it seems to me that the club has palpably changed - first with the ownership change, name change from Heart to City, and change in colours, and then I think again over the period commencing last season continuing into the current season, a period in which it seems to me the club has deliberately shut down most of the channels of communication with supporters - City Voice, Citizens, the FRG (last met in February 2018). At the moment the club seems to go out of its way to deliberately ignore us - even antagonise us (e.g. the use of navy blue in merchandise, advertising etc.). That said, I agree with the premise that no-one owns active. To my simple mind it's a pity that the active supporters can't have changes in leadership as and when they happen - just as it happens in any club or society - without the need to change the name of the group as a whole.

Well the terrace leadership has changed quite a lot in the city era but the name never changed. The yarraside wind up thing I found it interesting that the leaders viewed they owned the name, not the participants or “the fans”, but as an observer it seemed 1)none of my business and 2) the death of Heart was indeed a significant event. I don’t want to pot these current guys but I do think they are overstating things. Perhaps an announcement that Melburnians was being suspended until new leaders come forward would have been sufficient. Anyway just my take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
