2-1 thanks to Archie 

[dwaino]

Was a good game, despite the ref (again) and Victory lucky not to be 2 down by half time. Hardly ever looked dangerous going forward. Another solid effort from Rojas.

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.

Sitting nicely at 3 and always making victory look stupid. 

Sitting nicely with his early season calls (Essendon, Victory) and always making himself look stupid

Rojas is the difference between the Victory having no attacking threat and them having some.
The thing about Heart is they play good attractive football but have no genuine finisher like Rojas or Archie. Heart dominated for long periods just did not have that finishing touch. Sadly Garcia has been quite lame for me this season.

[mightytiges]

Victory didn't play that well compared to recent weeks whereas Heart clearly pumped themselves up for derby as they always seem to do as it's their only chance to play in front of a big crowd . We played much better against Brisbane last week but as with Soccer if you don't take your chances then you don't win. Last night we made the most of our fewer chances and got the 3 points. Rojas is a gun. We could lose him at the end of the season if wealthier overseas clubs in bigger leagues chase after him.

[mightytiges]

Heart choked against Wellington tonight. Up 2-0 and then lost 2-3  .

Central Coast and Adelaide both unexpectedly lost as well this round so the Victory (albeit we will be undermanned tomorrow night) has a chance to bridge the gap at the top. 

[mightytiges]

3-2 win thanks to a brace by Rojas  . Only 2 points off second now and 4 points off top.

Every time I see this poo just emphasizes how much these wankers (supporters and players) poo me!

Heart fans should still check the ladder  . Only took almost 3 months to have something to crow about lol. Btw West Sydney's home form has been very good so no shame in losing to them 1-2. Poppa deserves all the credit he is getting as their manager while Ono is a class act. The worst thing to come out of the game for Victory is Finkler's knee injury.

Hahaha it still is a long season a few losses for the Hicktory and they're back with the pack.
Considering in derbys we still lead 3-2 can be quite unnerving for the Hicktory. There are still ghosts the Hicktory need to deal with, 5-0 to Brisbane and the added pressure of needing Ange to get the side back to the top and given the way this current board has been dealing with things no one is secure.

Personally I could not support a side whose predominant colour is navy blue and for the most part their supporters behave in the same way as their navy blue counterparts. Whilst the ladder positions at this stage may not lie I still find it so humorous that Hicktory fans see it as their right to whinge and carry on like two bob watches when they win and lose. maybe they should rebadge themselves as Carlton.

[gerkin greg]

I thought they were part of Carlton? Don't they live together and share the same clothes?
