Official South Melbourne Hellas thread 🔵⚪

Meh Bonada. I was heart broken the first and only time when Boutsi first left South. Nothing lasts forever. We got cups to win....
i was also but mainly bc i was waiting to get a lift but he was away being a getaway driver and left me hanging.. he may still owe me money for the car stereo he sold me out of his boot....hahahaha

Class player was gutted also when he left!!
 
My biggest red flag is that the club doesnt appear equipped to be able to handle the amount of football we play.

As long as we are playing ofc pro league we will never win the npl imo.

The erratic behaviour of the co presidents makes every comp, every trop overseas etc a ticking time bomb.
Lets hope they learnt from the first time round and can get it right next time round... the money is too good for a club like ours not to play it unless we win the au cup.... still hoping on bwing the omly team to play in 2 zonal cups simultaneously....the other key will be going from hubs to h&a ...

We’re always walking on egg shells as supporters. Last week was the straw that broke the camels back.

I’m not coming back until I see Nepo Baby’s name OFF the play list. It’s bad enough that he is starting, much less on the bench.

All the signings we have made in the last few days does not make up for the garbage. Losing Bonada is sad, but that’s not the main issue.

I get (and share) the frustration but club above all else at end of day... cant not be there for the unveiling of such potential....i formone cant wait to see us up and running and if the game is well beyond doubt and messi gets a run last 10 so be it!!
 
I dont represent anyone at south so this is coming from a neutral place.

To my knowledge the registration period from October25/26 can allow for only three teams played for. I was under the impression this is not considered an overlapping competition and that Bul as well as anyone else who has played Championship>A-League>NPL is considered ineligible. Would have to ask the PFA about this one.
Sure, just trying to throw shade out of a deep respect for the rules I suppose :P
 
Why would our young players want to stay when Neporooney is guaranteed a spot in the starting XI and an opportunity to fill up his passport with free stamps.

We get laughed at by the league for what we do in gifting him games but also it’s a slap in the face to any aspiring young player when you train hard and see a witches hat get a game.

It’s not the kids fault they say but it is. He has an ego the size of his father’s, and yet if he had half a brain he’d quit because you’d think maybe I am so far out of my depth.
The league and the federation is for laughing at anyway.
 
And look at Mike’s puff pastry posts on his X.

Blockbuster window by Kokotis. This the kokotis who wanted the presidents gig and was laughed down by all of the board.

A bloke who revs his Holden commodore outside of Lakeside running our football department.

Where’s the depth. All gone. Fan favoruite gone because he questioned Sinisa getting sacked. You think Bonada wanted to leave - he bled for this club.

Mike won’t talk about that. All while Andrew feeds him a charity souv here and there Mike sells his soul out to a board which has allowed Oakleigh to win title after title, build world class facilities for their seniors and juniors.

This board aren’t fit to wear the Oceania club of the century on their cheap suits that they wear - they sit too scared to talk to anyone cowards who hide in their corporate box.
Oakleigh have won twice megale... dont envy them too much? Are you that Oakleighfan blokes relative?
 
Nothing wrong with mike or Pete WHEN they support the interest of the club!!!
They have both done a heap of work to bring much to the forefeont relating to our club especially things directed AGAINST our club... can question some of the things they say but cant question their loyalties!! Simple as that.
Exactly right, love them or hate them, fact is they have all the Aleague plastics rattled and live rent free in their heads..
Can't question either Mike or Pete's loyalty's to Hellas unlike some board members and players, I talk to both and consider them friends.

Bonada wasn’t perfect, but he always worked his guts out and gave 100% effort. He scored some key goals when we had no recognised striker. It’s sad to see him go, but that’s football.
I'll always respect Bonada for giving 110% every time he put on the South shirt. Particularly the day he killed himself at Hume the day after Sinisa was sacked.

I'd back him in over the idiots running the club.
Absolutely gave 100% every match, alswas cheerful, always pushing, even his oppenents couldn't stay mad at him.. The guy p;ayed for the shirt and will do the same thing at Preston... Utmost respect for a professional.

He owes us nothing and is leaving with his head high. I hope, beyond hope, that come December these dickheads have left the club and the road is open for Bonada to come back...
 
Funny I post that yesterday about Bonada being dissatisfied about the clubs running and like magic we get that from him.

The discontent from certain squad members towards MessyRooney being there is big. I can’t divulge everything I know but just put two and two together as to why so many of the squad players walked in this window.

Even if you’re not a nailed on starter I think most would dream of being at South in this state. When you’re training hard, when you’ve come through the juniors and been at the club 5+ years, earned your right to be in the squad as many have done. And you see MessiRooney get constantly picked. What message does it send.

Perry Lambropoulos was a committee pick but at least he was well liked and a good person. The players could stomach that. MessiRooney’s arrogant and not one person I know who’s played with him has a good word to say.

Parents pay 4.8-5k a year now at South now to see this nepo bs. You don’t think they’re unhappy. It’s said in many circles at South. I’ll keep calling it out because the club needs to be rubbed in their face with it. It’s torn apart a dressing room and I just think Sinisa shouldn’t have come back.

Why come back to this mess. Why come back after Andrew sacks you because you argue you want to release his son. Why come back for a 8-9k raise. You were already underpaid, are underpaid by NpL coaching standards and they don’t give a toss about you. The board never deserved the satisfaction.

I hope Bonada smashes it at Preston. And Kokotis and Andrew sit there speechless like they always do
Parents that pay 4-5K for the kids to play NPL for Hellas (or any club) are fuckin retards... And the ones who push a little under the table to the Rouf-iano so their son can play "in position" are even more retarded..
 
Yeah a regular Nostradamus..

Giannakopoulos
Pasquali
Uchida
Eliopoulos
Cocks
Juach
Retre
Yoo
Ramazani (even as a loan)
Aguek
Lavalle
Can throw in khaddour for some good measure also, even if he didnt stick..

Thats pretty impressive list of ins and almost all upgrades on previous stock... and other than O sullivan and possibly Dovison... the outs have been minimal this window... yet all of a sudden your issue is losing bonada and fringe squad players?

Last i checked a football departments job is to make the team the best it can possibly be and that isnt done by being a development club which we never were in our history! We always were the best bc we managed to attract and get in the best.

Faark, if our biggest problem is losing bonada for juach then im ok with it.. thank you bonada for the passion and dedication when it was on show but on your way...we arent here to remain stagnant...
10 thousand percent... Bravo well said.
 
Spot on agree with everything you have said.

We have had many Bonada's come and go and with thr additions of Juach and Yoo i believe we have upgraded only time will tell.

We have set ourselves up to even challenge Adelaide United with this squad now and hopefully have a good run in FFA Cup.

We have another window before Aus Champ and with a few more additions we will be fine.

Lets go Hellas
FORZA HELLAS>>>>>

Looks like more nights at the village for you then?
