you DO realise that most of these singed up "members" appear out of the blue with a generic name and 1st thing they do in the 5 mins they are here is to select a club, make NO comment and then log off never to sign in again...... someone is "cooking da books" matey nothing more :P

Maybr lou sticca took it personally south melbourne was winning and madea bunch of fake accounts
 
Despite the scoreline, the vibe in our corner was epic, sook sozer copped it as warranted at every touch and we were louder than the villagers by far... .. boys had a good second half. ..

ps. The fuel crisis has hit the village hard and the souvs this season went up suddenly while simultaneously getting smaller by 1/3... atleast salad must be cheap bc they packed it in instead of the mixed meat.... next time im bringing it across from norfies and not dropping a dime!

Did you make sure to get a package deal for the next time need 10 mins of extra time to score?? I got the feeling that it was going to go to 120 to 'help' you get a result tonight...

Well that's the benefits of being in bed with the board and paying refs, should try it sometime 😎😎😎
 
It went as well as it could possibly go under the circumstances, keeper did really well.

Its just a shame we wont score for the rest of this month. You'd like to think some of the 22 players in Auckland will come back for the george cross game. The club really needs to think of the supporters with the next one being at home, i get none of our starting 11 can return but we need 5 proper seniors players to balance this out.

I count atleast 6 that should be here and available for these games... even they wouldnt have made a difference tonight but there is surely a lot more benefit in them playong here than just being there for sake of it...

Tonight no difference i agree, but we would have half a sniff against George Cross.

Its just a simple reality that no pure reserves team would ever beat a seniors npl team.

Sometimes all it takes is the favourite team to just have an off night/underestimate the underdog.

The situation isn't ideal but sometimes you just have to make the best of a shitty situation.

I watched parts of the game, thought the kids were okay all things being considered. Atleast they get a taste and see what is required to make it to the top. Some will rise, some will fold, it is what it is.

The hope still remains that with a win tmrw and assured 1 or 2 will allow a release of some atleast to play this game....

I think after Tuesday if we have made the semis surely we dont need to keep everyone around in Auckland. I get the starting 11 arent returning but the bulk that played the Bulleen game could come back. Just not sure how keen the club is to fly players back and forth. It really does seem they are all gone until the ofc ends.

Im struggling to accept that we need all those players there.
 
If you offered me 4-0 before kick off, I would have taken it. The good thing is that Heidelberg didn’t record a historic winning scoreline against us. We minimised the damage to our goal difference by only conceding 1 goal in the second half.

Van Riet made some superb saves and literally kept the scoreline somewhat respectable. The kids did great as could be expected. They ran, challenged for the ball and threw their bodies on the line to prove themselves. The future is bright in the talent that is coming through.

I think the fact that many fans knew our kids would be playing probably led to many staying at home and watching the match on YouTube.

It’s pretty obvious to everyone that a U23s team is not competitive against senior NPL teams. Kids have received great experience, but we need 4-5 senior men’s players to help them on the park. Surely we can see Coveny, Lackay, O’Sullivan, and Inglese head back for the George Cross match.
