The last 2 games in Fiji did not overly tax us (except for the humidity), and we used our starting 11 sparingly.

You're spot on. We used our main team against Bula FC which was close to a week ago. The teams that faced PNG Hekari and Tahiti United were mostly made up of reserves and a sprinkling of first team players. I expect the main first team players to be relatively fresh for tonight's match against Dinamo.

This is one reason I have gone negative after the Oakleigh game.

Imagine we started the season poorly? Imagine we had injuries? All this savoie fare would be thrown out the window.

Yeah mate, I get it.. But the fact is it HASN'T gone poorly.. By hook or by crook or by some divine justice we are facing an unprecedented season for our club.

We all were negative in May of 2025 and what happened?

  • Two new competitions created in the past 12 months, we have already won one and look like going very deep, if not winning the whole thing, in the other...
  • We play a brand of football (not always but enough that it has become expected of us) that is exciting to watch.
  • Our win/loss is through the roof, so much so that on our day and with a full 1st team there isnt a club in Australia we fear facing.
  • Current Dockerty Cup and Australian Championship holders, top of the league in NPL, Qualified for the round of 32 in the Australia Cup, still alive in the Dockerty Cup.

I know we all like to see things "pragmatically" but shit any OTHER club fanbase in Australia, State league, NPL and even Aleague would see our position as pretty bloody enviable. .

I am trying to forget last year. Will never forget the feeling at halftime at Lakeside when Victory was leading 2-1. We truly went through some harrowing times.

Yeah it wasnt pretty.. Im a pretty staunch supporter (I like to think) but I had to be dragged to a few of those matches last year.... I sooo dreaded going to Knights I remember being at work on a Friday and actually NOT being happy it was matchday. I just wanted it to be Saturday already, going to the match felt like a chore... but then Poppy scored the brace and got the red...... and it felt like 100kgs of concrete had been lifted off our souls.
