Pretty nice cut.
Liked the start with the stats (much like SFCs Rd 1 banner).
Possibly could have gone more into the uniqueness - how hard the double is - only 11 Premiers to Champions.

Albeit possibly antagonizes the Eurosnobs even more.

That was great

Best pre season promo in yonks. Hope it gets eyeballs. Makes me yearn for the old days.

The APL have come to their senses, but this was an easy and obvious win for them. I’m guessing this decision took their committee about 95 seconds to agree on

You can’t eat a seafood platter in under 95 seconds.

Now that sounds like a challenge.

Unless you get Faghani, in which case it’s play on.

Just in case anyone is interested… this seasons refs, all of them, VAR and all.

Not bad that all our elite list men are FIFA refs.

The good news is that, if Foley has it his way, you won’t hear much talking from him about football or politics or anything else, because he feels so much at ease with the people he has installed to run the club. As opposed to some of the other clubs in his burgeoning multi-club network. He also owns the English Premier League’s AFC Bournemouth, plus minority stakes in French club FC Lorient and Scottish club Hibernian, and is closing in on a deal to buy another in Portugal. Maybe one more from Croatia or Serbia will follow

“The A-League is a perfect league for us to start developing players, and those players can move to a Portuguese team that we’re perhaps going to invest in shortly, or to Hibernian, which is a natural landing spot – same language, easy entry in terms of on the immigration side.

If you were there or watch footage of our first game, that 25,208 isn’t even close to accurate. From memory there was an issue with the ticketing systems and they just opened the gates. Place was rammed.

Yeah this is my memory as well. I remember I was about 20 minutes late as the traffic was bonkers. I think they just threw the gates open at the end

One of the guys in my team is recruiting for a vacancy. He received a resume from an applicant who, under a section in his resume called “Community Involvement” listed that he’s a Melbourne Victory member :thinking:

Straight into the bin, then?

Call them up, play a recorded sound of Kevin muscats Clank (complete with the OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH from the commentary team) and inform him thats the sound of his resume being chucked in the bin.

Then hang up immediately.

Invite to an interview, then discuss community values in the context of throwing chairs through windows
