Ange learning the hard way that a coach is as only as good as the cattle at his disposal. Reminds me of Hardwick's first 6 rounds when we got flogged by 10+ goals every week whil trying to learn a new gameplan. The poor 20 y.o. goalkeeper Thomas had a shocker as well.

As for the rest of the A-league, the FFA would be very happy so far. Del Piero and Heskey both scoring goals in front of 35k at the Sydney vs Newcastle game. Something the old NSL couldn't even dream about.
Isn't it great that the big heads at Melbourne victory are so silent now that they are resting nicely on the bottom of the ladder.
Those same carlscum like arrogance hasn't bode well for a team headed by Ernie Merrick that was both exciting competative and successful. Since the Scotsman's departure, much to the excitement of most of the morons that wear the blue and white, the club has been a rabble.
It's time to look to the future of Melbourne as I did and start to acknowledge the Heart.
For starters maybe even putting them in the title of this thread.
Sitting nicely at 3 and always making victory look stupid.  :clapping

Ever since the new board came in to the Victory the whole club has gone to skata.

I am not an A League fan but I am starting to warm to the Heart. Wear red and white same colours as my team in Greece in Olympiakos and off the field they seem to be very stable and settled with a board and team working hard to get results.

The Victory wear navy blue, enough said could not support a side that wears navy blue as its main strip
and the Victory carry on like their AFL counterparts in navy blue making out like it is an inheritance of theirs to win every title year in year out and when it doesn't happen look out. Stuff them.

Don't tell me you support those arrogant Blues as well?
For the life of me I can't understand how anyone black & yellow could support a team in blue but I won't hold it against you. I'll just rub it in when we smash them again in the next derby.  :thumbsup

If you could include the Heart in the title it would be much appreciated.

I'll just rename the thread under the title "A-League" for ease.

Not a great weekend for the Melbourne teams. At least Victory can use the excuse we're still learning Ange's gameplan  :whistle.

Almost did our best to throw it away in injury time but Victory got the 3 points 3-2 over Wellington. Ange's gameplan is starting to come together thanks to Finkler, Flores and Rojas but there's still those 10 min defensive lapses that give up goals that still need to be cut out . Very similar to Richmond in that way. Victory now up to 6th :thumbsup.

Now where are all those Heart fans from a few weeks back now their team is last on the ladder  :whistle lol.

 :rollin first time watched soccer in ages saw victory was on, switched over trailing 2 zip and score 3 in 15 to win! If soccer was like that more often I would watch more! But I doubt it
