Good win, guess south wanted it more. Thank god Hume lost. Was literally sitting with your cheer squad, no hostilities, was good. The firework that went off around the 80th minute or so was sick haha.
 
The new grandstand is nice. Its small and only seats 500 but it makes the venue look a lot better. I still chose to remain on the other side. Yes they took card and nobody argued about it which was nice.

We deserved to win that, Ramazani and Yoo the standouts, some absolute dreadful mistakes late in the game by our favourite whipping boys Mesourouni, Lackay and Swibel, just no game awareness at all from them.

On unrelated note when did eaton mall become such a dump? Feels like a wasteland overun by hoons, bit of an eye opener, everything closes so much earlier compared to the old days as well.

I was living in the heart of Oaks for 3 yrs. Could not wait to get the fuck out of there. Lucky to have been back twice in 10 months...
 
That was a big win tonight given the context of our season and strengthening our position in the top 6.

Oakleigh is a very good team. They started stronger in the first half and were more on top early on. We steadied things from the 20th-25th minute mark and finished stronger in that first half. Juach should have scored that one on one chance late in the first half. He’s clearly missing match fitness and that striker’s performance touch. He was much better today, and was involved in our first goal in the second half by heading the ball to Yoo for running into space and scoring a great goal.

Yoo had another great match. He was everywhere and involved in all build ups. His movement and forward drives caused all sorts of trouble for the Oakleigh defence. Yuki was also amazing and was running rings around the Oakleigh players. Retre continues to show why he’s been a great addition. Simply all class. Ramazani - not enough words can describe how great he was once again. Solid defensively again and has formed a great partnership with Jankovic.

I don’t understand why those late substitutions were made. You can’t risk matches against the likes of Oakleigh with players they won’t help. Lackay was tripping over himself. The other substitute nearly cost us an equaliser goal at the death. Just ridiculous stuff.

The injuries of Lampard, Mikkola and Menelaou has exposed our lack of depth on the bench. Apart from Nkwomo and Swibel, we had nothing. Players like Pope, Leech and Dovison should have retained for the bench.

One of the other benefits tonight was the draw between Heidelberg and CS George Cross. That means we jump over Heidelberg and create a 4 point gap from CS George George. Given Preston is facing an almost certain point deduction (they had a suspended -3 point deduction already), then South could aim to finish at least fourth. More importantly it gives us a little bit of breathing space as well.

On a side note, the new grandstand looked good. It’s probably big enough for their needs.

We are within a game of third spot. Preston is likely to face a points deduction so that will help us climb the ladder further. Interesting to see what happens in the Melbourne City Youth vs Avondale match on Saturday afternoon. A draw there would be an optimal outcome for us. It means third spot could possibly come into play for us.
 
Pretty disappointed we lost but atleast im having a laugh at the conspiracy theories ive read online from Preston fans.
 
We have really lifted in the last 3 weeks. Ramazani is someone we should try signing long term he has actually brought out the best of Jankovic as well. Charlston had an alright game very lucky tonight but he has stepped up. Midfield s becoming one of the strongest we have had in awhile which is finally good did see. Juach showed glimpses last night but I'm worried if he doesn't start putting a few away we may have a new Kevin Nelson on our hands haha.

As for those fireworks or home made bombs or whatever the fuck it was aged me another 10 years hahah
