I wish to lodge an official protest over OE's post. The name of my club is South Melbourne Football Club Limited. Hellas was taken out of the name about 20 years ago. We will probably make it to the last 16 but that's about it IMHO. We don't have the defensive players to go further. South was hoping to get Victory so they could get the gate. 15,000 at Lakeside would have seen South get a nice pay day... hopefully they meet in the round of 16.
All I remember is South's Greek supporters being angry that Hellas was dropped from their club's name by force by Soccer Australia  ;).

Btw, Victory is use to propping up the home crowds of a smaller Melbourne club living in Victory's shadow  :snidegrin.

Victory won't have to worry about playing at Bob Jane stadium this season. South were knocked out of the FFA Cup in the first round by a local Gold Coast team lol. At least Heidelberg got through of the old Greek NSL clubs.

City/Heart just got through with an injury time winner over a NSW state league club. Victory romped home 6-0 against their minnow.

So half the A-League teams will be gone after this round. That's without any upsets.

The draw is 'fixed' to make sure at least one non-A-League club makes the semi-finals.

Victory through to the quarters of the FFA Cup but we gave up a penalty and an own goal to state league club Rockdale City.

Heidelberg Utd are stiff to get drawn A-League Melb City when the other two state league clubs that made it through play each other.

Quarter Finals draw

Melb. Victory vs Adelaide Utd
Perth Glory vs Western Sydney Wanderers
Hume City vs Oakleigh Cannons
Heidelberg vs Melb. City

Victory have replaced Milligan with Bozanic as marquee Aussie. Great signing  :cheers

Still on the fence with new Victory kit. I don't mind the new home design but I'm really spewing it doesn't have a collar. Didn't like last year's away guernsey but looks ok with a few tweaks this season.

Yep Bozanic is a good signing - on the periphery of the National team.

 :cheers with help from the wog inlaws over the past few years I'm a full convert. Great game, really want to see the domestic comp do well as it would do wonders getting in more of the bogan whitey types like me who were never born into a round ball household and Euro teams.

Been buying tickets for the last two seasons so figured it was cheaper to buy a membership  ;D missus was buying the memberships initially for her old man and stepdad for Father's Day (sounds like a strange setup but it works and everyone is friends :lol) who I go with. Since I go with them and her brother she had to buy us one too lol. Though it's a square up since I got her as a Richmond member to come to the footy even though she is a Carlton supporter.

Best comment on Victory FB with the welcome video of Bozanic standing in an empty AAMI park was "why did you do this in front of a full City crowd?"  :snidegrin
