2025 Australia Cup final rounds thread

Nahh mate power to ya....wont stop taking the mick, but in your case especailly there is nothing too much to argue against for the most part.. we agree on the suits, agree on second tier i reckon also, and at your rate you will live an NPL game and get hooked then it will be 'heart/city who?'

Only issue is you decided even now to go for the wrong outfit, no one in their right mind chooses Avondale! 🤣

I guess any transition from plastic (city) to fantastic (SMFC) requires a middle stop! We both know you will end up at SMFC though, everyone does! 😛

I went to a south game as a young lad with friends but I was probably a bit to young to appreciate and remember anything. If it turned out I saw ange or something I'd probably have a bit more attachment to the club. I wish I kept the match guide

Just for what it’s worth, in my humble opinion..there’s “the suits” and then there’s your team being bought by another club overseas, changing the colours and branding against the will of their fans, disregarding what little identity Melbourne heart did have..not even pretending to care about their supporters opinions, banning their own support groups for descent and turning the entity into something else entirely..and that being a feeder club for the main team.

Then you have incidents like the complete contempt for the Australia cup being shown by the organisation. They fact that quite clearly Melbourne city will always be a low priority for the city group..they’re probably not even their second tier team..maybe 3rd or 4th, and they treat it as such. I’m not really sure what the club has done to earn any of their fans loyalty, and what more they could do to put them off.

And that’s not even getting into opinions or otherwise regarding the individuals running and financing city group themselves

Surely any of these things overrides a mild dislike for Melbourne victory’s colours ..or Kevin muscat or whatever excuse many people had for jumping on heart in the early days over Melbourne victory..if you didn’t already have any affinity for pre existing club prior to Melbourne victory coming to be.

All due respect, I just don’t get it.

It’s this sort of blindly excusing, and lack of accountability for the actions of faceless individuals in boardrooms which has led to the hollowing out of society let alone soccer. But hey, I get that not everyone sees things that way

End rant

So you saying we shouldn't support Melbourne city because of the owners?

I personally wouldn’t, but that’s just me, each to their own. Again, I’m not gonna repeat myself, but I think that’s a minimisation of what I just said. It’s not just “the owner”

And also imo it’s a big part of why Melb city has relatively poor support compared to what Melb heart had, or what western Sydney wanderers, or even Melb victory gets for example

But hey, I get that’s not how a lot of people view things

Nearly getting relegated is a very bad look for “one of Australian sokah’s biggest clubs” that is about to enter the NST and the OFC thingy……..
