Yarra Ranges council won't find any of us a new field and expect us to use local high schools AFL ground which is ripped up, has a concrete cricket pitch in the middle and grass is weeds and rarely mown. Make matters worse they won't replace three lights blown on one of the fields so can hardly train there. But they seem to bend over throwing money at the AFL clubs in the area, and Monbulk SC mainly as Deputy Premier is the elected member. Sucks That stinks.

Been a part of Maroondah United (formerly Croydon Ranges) for the past 6 years. Maroondah council will do anything to avoid giving any funding to fixing our ground situation. Ridiculous how good Monbulk’s facilities are compared to anyone else 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewConvert Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 6 hours ago, jw1739 said: This is really bad for the League - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-11-27/melbourne-victory-booted-out-of-footscray/11741114 IMO the League and the individual clubs need to get together and develop a workable plan for academy, training facility, and own stadium, for each of the clubs in the League. Otherwise we'll be picked off one by one. It never ceases to amaze me how I can drive down what seems to be a residential street in my area and suddenly come across a full-sized oval, complete with goal posts and change rooms, barely used a couple of times a week by some local fourth grade Aussie Rules or cricket club and the rest of the time by local dog-walkers, and yet A-League clubs are struggling to find a home. And when I pick up today's Hun in the coffee shop and find multiple pages on the AFL draft, one article on Leigh Broxham of MV, and not a mention of City, I have further evidence of what an uphill battle we face. I agree. Whats more I live in Footscray - have for over 40 years. And the fuckers stop just about everything - they stopped teh council from collecting parking fares and so now the council is accruing $6M a year in debt because people get pissed off if rates rise. And the bloody thing is that the area to be redeveloped is a dump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But equally finding a good replacement now will be a bit tricky, so far Victory have appointed Magilton and Durakovic mid season and they've both proved awful appointments (maybe Muscat was mid season too?

mus-28 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Kurz sacked TBH pretty rough on him. The squad was signed before he got there and other than Toivonen and Kruse there's not a lot of top line quality. Now the new manager gets Rojas instead of Dobras and they're immediately a much better team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Now am I the only one wondering about why they signed Rojas? Isn’t he a winger? Easily the best thing about their current squad is their front 3, including a couple of A League standout wingers in Nabboutt and Kruse. Why sign another winger on big dollars? What about the engine room of midfield? Are they mad or have I missed something? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I thought as well League is pace and power and their current crop of Basha, Poulsen, Broxham are not good enough.

They seem to be a bit obsessed with their ex players, which is fair enough to some extent, but they can't bear the thought of one of their legends coming over to us, so they've offered an excessive contract in a position we don't need. Maybe we planned this all along knowing what theyre like? EIther way its a win-win for us cos if we'd got him we'd have been wrapt, and if we didnt its forced them to allocate a big chunk of cap to a player they dont need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
