Popular Post FB. Posted April 4, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) From John Didulica on twitter; John Didulica @Jdidulica Delighted to announce a Melbourne Heart team has been admitted into the 2012 F-League (national futsal league). First A-League club to join. A Futsal team is a feature of many traditional clubs in Europe & SA & is booming in Asia. Another platform to connect with grass-roots fans Sounds like great news. Anyone shed any more light on the comp?? Edited April 4, 2012 by FB. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ando Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I told Scott Munn a while back I'd be happy to be in the inaugural captain of the Sporting Melbourne hockey team. The chap didn't reply, and in hindsight who can be fucked entering the State League comps at the lowest rung. State League 5 ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Will see you chaps when you come down for the away game in St Albans. Bring your best lads. not srs. the league doesnt have the budget for home and away fixtures. Edited April 4, 2012 by Tesla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 We need a water polo, basketball and volley ball team tbh. Futsal is a far superior sport to all of those. Great news, will be good pyro practice for the kids. Another major plus, indoor stadia, doesn't get any better for stadium accoustics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSK_47 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I think its great. Is it the comp that they play on channel 31? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downbylaw Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 If your into that thing maybe it is which is great. Does nothing for me but its more that I'm at the point of throwing up if i hear about another community and grass roots initiative bla bla. Just something about winning,something that potentially aids in that pursuit or anything would knock me the fuck out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puntino Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Guys, this is a huge deal and it has taken months to make it fly. More information will be released in the next few weeks but what I can tell you is that Melbourne Heart has done what nobody else has ever done before in this region. This is only the beginning.

moops Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 will be great for guys in the youth league, during their off season to build up skills. Not sure why people are knocking this move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntino Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 moops you are exactly right. Around the world, FUTSAL is often used exactly for this reason. Many famous players have started with FUTSAL when they were kids and still play FUTSAL during their off season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Will it actually work with our youth players in anyway or is it completely separate ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntino Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 It will start as a completely separate initiative, however we cannot exclude that current Melbourne Heart players might be involved. More information and dates for trials will be announced in the next few weeks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salzy Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 disappointing that Terra is finished. would have loved to see him play Futsal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonpetal Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 any ideas where they will play in Melbourne? Futsal Oz in Brunswick is the only dedicated futsal place in Australia... I think, but could not host much of a crowd. The F-League Melbourne venue would be proper Futsal sized international courts with stop clock, Futsal Oz is too small. My guess is MSAC, I am thinking of the Melbourne Futsal League finals from 2010 (Youtube search it if you are unfamiliar) Personally, I think this is a massive step, both for Futsal and Junior Football development, and a real testament to junior and grassroots development by Melbourne Heart, something that will start paying dividends in years to come. This will create a massive buzz in the Futsal community. Being an avid futsal fan, It is actions like this that make me support a team like Melbourne Heart over Victory. I would happily be a paying member of a MH Futsal side. As well as a professional pathway for the more serious Futsal players, and I know of plenty. This also opens up Melbourne Heart to a whole new market beyond the F-League, international competitions, AFC Club Futsal champs, etc. The lower travel and player costs to these events compared to potential ROI through greater exposure for MH is worthy of consideration. A great move by MH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Will there be 'Futsal only' membership options for the Futsal side? I would support and pay for one of those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deviant Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 although i like the idea coffee... i doubt people will charge you to watch something that is free at Futsal OZ... let alone sell you a membership... unless the membership is a contribution...

Coffee Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Agree..was thinking from a contribution perspective..throw in an A-League game etc? For me its the comfort in knowing that the membership $$ would be going towards the investment of the futsal club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
