Tickets on sale for the Australia Cup fixture against Adelaide United:

https://www.intix.com.au/event/south-melbourne-fc-vs-adelaide-united-fc

I was actually anticipating South to charge at least $25 per Adult ticket, so I'm stunned in a weird way that we are charging a reasonable price. All patrons are going to need to purchase tickets including members.

Unless we start winning soon, I cant see the crowd being that big.

This could be a good opportunity to make some noise and a statement

One thing i will say is that prez Malakas is consistant..the abilities of the 'journalist' at his role are on par with the abilties of his son on the field... both equally worthless!

You need to show respect to earn it... you dont play on merrit then all gloves are off and you reap what you sow...

Don’t agree at all with this mate… we can voice frustrations out of the 90 minutes but it’s hard for the boys to focus on the football when one of their own is being abused on the field by his own supporters

 

[Hellenic_blue&white]

Hate to say "I told you so" but well.....

To clarify i dont mean dont play it, i mean dont make the same mistakes and play it all equally or not at all.

And thats a valid opinion.... if thats the issue thats bringing down our playing style then come out and say as much and i assume when we all stop the team will start playing the football we saw when we were dominating.. no, wait though, he wasnt getting a look in by force then was he??

If its a problem quit as president, walk with your son and go to oakleigh and he can play there and he can complain about not respecting him as some saviour freely!

$20 is about right. We need to remember that Collingwood v Geelong will be on at a packed MCG at the same time. We are in no position to be fleecing the public.

Adding to that, a 3 week cup window and a day that doesnt clash with one of the biggest Thursday night afl games of the season couldnt be found?

Maybe our club should turn their attention to that and worry less about the supporters.

His minutes haven’t really changed that much have they? Tends to play between 5-20 minutes as a sub, and it’s not like we have that many other depth attacking options to bring on anyways (tends to come on at the same time as Lackay who’s about his level)

He’s started four games that I can remember - one last year when the whole reserves team played, one at the start of this year when we’d played an OFC match three days earlier, one vs Bentleigh (we ended up winning 5-1) and one vs Gully (which was a mistake I agree)

Of all those games only really the Gully game was a shocker, and he wasn’t on his own that day

Don’t get me wrong i agree with the frustration and don’t particularly rate the kid either

I’m just not thrilled about one of our own being abused by his own supporters

Hes a player that should be getting 0 minutes. He wouldnt even make the bench for a vpl1 team.

Was willing to put water in my wine as i had written for the good of the club, but when his old man acts like that and follows up with more rediculous threats then its clear there is no mending, just a need for excision!

On a side note, I found amusing post game in social club on Sunday David Chick buying Mesa drinks and putting on a fake sympathtic appearance. Prob trying to get into the good books incase a coaching gig came up. Pure theatre and drama...

The players themselves can’t stand Mesa. That comes from former players themselves.

I’ve never heard one of his teammates say a good word about him.

Committee players shouldn’t be getting any minutes at a side with a league ambitions. He wouldn’t make it playing regularly at state 7, that’s how astonishingly bad he is

This cunt Bill is at it again with another stupid post

[southmelb]

He has lost the plot. He is obviously being directed from above to write this trash. Wouldnt surprise me if they are at the early stages of looking to ban supporters.

And if they ban supporters next home game against Preston we enter with preston supporters and make a banner SACK THE BOARD AND NEPO BABY haha

I wouldn’t blame them if supporters are rocking up with the intention of booing our own players in all honesty

don’t get me wrong I’m no Mesorouni fan (JR or SR)

But our role as home supporters is to inspire the boys, not foster division

Any wonder our record away from home is better

 

[southmelb]

They are booing one player, the player that doesnt belong in the squad. Fuck him off and everyone will shut up.

We have to watch this shitcunt play whilst Bonada is already winning games for Preston.

 

[Takaki]

Bill already pushed his son into a senior debut here and into the 23s - after Lee was cut from Malverns reserves and thirds team. What was a state one club at the time, the fourth division of Victorian football.

Bill’s not an idiot, I don’t get why he defends Andrew. Is he drunk in Greece off tsipouro, this self destructing is crazy.

There was a transfer window. All of the clubs youth, depth players walked because they saw Mesourounis son get gifted appearances off the bench. Now we’re about to pay the ultimate price especially rolling into the national championships end of the year where a big squad helps massively. But guess what. We’d rather keep Andrew and alienate the whole senior squad in the process.

No one walked except Bonada τwho in the end was probably more walked out.. fat was trimmed and more shouldve been trimmed... other than o sullivan who had a real role to play in the future but chose to return to perth who else in that squad wouldve brought home the championship bc of the depth??? Depth requires having ke a lavalle type in and a manny type on the bench or vice versa style squad not fringe at best...relax re there is another window before that comp to do similar ins which we will need and doubt we wont have anytjing come in..the team is more burnt by game mismanagement than it is alienated bc of 'βάλτον Μέσα'......

Yes exactly… outside of bonada which we were all sad about only O Sullivan and Leech may have had a role to play in the championship
