Also beat his mob in the dockerty cup final, he also went historical when South has still been one of the most successful clubs in Victoria even since the nsl finished, it was pure nonsense and just kicking a team that was having a bad season.

You're spot on. All teams have a bad season, but that article was a hit job that backfired badly given we defeated them in the Dockerty Cup final.

Heidelberg better win the Australian Championship considering they've ONLY won one final this year and yet are busy promoting themselves as the greatest Australian club outside of the Aleague for some reason...

The Wolves attracted 3k to their first round fixture, surely the greatest team in Australia would double that at home?

To be fair who is even reading him now... even if we take a 10% literacy rate of bergers supporters that brings us to less than 10 that can read ... and those artucles are in neither of their languages! 😛

They sure better f&%ckn NOT!
Their last attempt at that, ended with piss stain yellow across the black and white stripes of the colliwobbles! Enough said! Surprise surprise that claim to fame also won 1 trophy!

The shambles they are at the moment they will be lucky to have enough mascots let alone a crowd!
 
divided on who I want to go for

feeling bad for su58 and hoping they end on a high, they are crucial to the success of the nst, but also respect for the effort apia has put in
 
Audio descriptive commentary is finally coming to domestic football games in Australia for the first time !!! Have you ever gone to a football game and wished you could have a similair experience as those with more sight were able to have ? This might be the answer.

Hi everyone, my name is Charlotte and I’ve been working for quite a while now and developing an initiative to bring audio descriptive commentary to football in Australia. Im also legally blind and a huge football fan.

I’m really excited to announce that the first pilot of my football ADC project will be taking place at Lakeside Stadium for the game between South Melbourne and Broadmeadow Magic, on the 8th of November at 3:15pm.

You can register for the audio descriptive commentary here: https://lnkd.in/gzmuQitN

What is audio descriptive commentary (ADC)?

ADC is a special kind of commentary that is a verbal description of something that’s happening visually.
In football this looks like extra in-depth commentary of how and where the play is happening. This includes everything from the kits being worn to the skills players use as they dribble, and how a goal was scored.
ADC is designed to provide people who are vision impaired or blind with information that helps them understand and enjoy what’s happening in the same way that sighted people do but can also be beneficial for everyone!

How will it work?

Using an app that everyone can access on their device for free, with commentators located at the game, ADC will be streamed live to each persons device, whether they’re watching online from home or sitting in the stadium. Participants only need a device with wifi or mobile data connection, and a pair of earphones. There is no additional costs to access the ADC and ANYBODY can use it, no matter your access needs.

Why ADC?

Imagine you’re watching your favourite team play and you’ve stepped away to go to the bathroom. You can still hear the shouting and cheering of the crowd or the TV commentary, but the suspense is killing you because you can’t see what is happening. This is what most games are like for those of us that can’t see.

This is where ADC comes in. It gives people the opportunity to experience and enjoy the game we all love in the same way their friends can. Stats show there’s over 115,000 people in Australia living with a vision impairment who are sports fans and aren’t getting the same experience as everybody else. ADC opens new gateways to bring in more fans, support and offers equitable access that everybody deserves.

How do I get tickets to the game?

Tickets to the game can either be bought here: https://lnkd.in/gVi_9syC or at the gate on the day.

This is just the beginning, it’s the start of a commitment to growth of the game we all love, and it’s a legacy I hope will leave an impact in a world where equal access shouldn’t be a luxury, but rather something that is always included.

Agree. Unfortunately for SU58 their season is done and focus should be on the immediate changes needed for success! Would be a real shame for Apia not to progress guven what we have seen.

Well done MCG thanks for the insight into a great innovation!
 
Well ..... that is officially it for the 2 BIG Croatian teams for this year.

Who would have thought the Knights and United would have fallen so low.

This NSD may succeed without those two iconic clubs making any impression at all.

Thats a shame the croatian clubs youth development has been historically strong. Hopefully there is a motive to improve

hey there's always next season Sam - just wasn't to be for SU as we all have seen over the regular season and the input from Beretta.
I'm sure they will comeback.

I'm sorry both Sydney giants had to meet - congrats to the Tigers - Bayswater next @ Leichardt Nov 17.

I meant to point out that I was talking about this initial phase. Yes, maybe next year Sydney United (as a Foundation Member) will storm back.

But the Knights? I see at least 3 years of being in the doldrums.
 
If the south Melbourne people thought last Saturday was hot/humid, they’d be having a nightmare today, 32 and possible storm, sun currently out though and Olympic have to kick off at 1 o’clock. This is one those days people speculated might happen with the midday kick offs

Are these one pm kick offs not to appease the TV rights ?

Anyway, it is very overcast at the moment, which will be better than clear skies.
 
Its like 11 degrees here and bucketing down now, if its gonna be a 1 or 3 start i'd rather have cooler conditions.

32 is not ideal at those times, these kick off times are skin cancer central!
