absolutely pumped by saturdays result. back in the race for second. and i think we'll get it.  

Yeah, absolutely need to hit 2nd place to give us the best chance of ACL next season.

Beat Sydney and I think it's ours, they have a much tougher run home than us.

Perth and Sydney away over the next 2 weeks. need to get some results if we're gonna snag second place. interesting times. hopefully our bad run with injury is over and we can play at full strength over the coming weeks.

James is a Melbourne boy. I did some work at his parents house a few weeks ago and told his mum she needs to put the hard word on him to come home as Victory would be the ideal club for him (and him for us). If he signs I’m taking full credit (ha, ha!)

Haha and you will be the only good rusty on this forum then!

Just noticed James Meredith is out of contract at Millwall at the end of the season. Played regularly in the Championship the last two seasons so not sure he’ll leave the UK. He’d be a decent solution to our left back problem if we could convince him to come back to Australia though

The Germans love the Japanese players . Now the Japanese teams are looking at Thai players.  

Thai players don't count as foreigners over their as Thailand is a "J-League partner nation."

J.League would be a decent move too in terms of uplift in playing standard, just harder to move on from there vs going to Belgium, Eredivisie etc.

Plenty of players from Japan and Korea end up in Germany.

he's the heart and soul of the club and deserves to benefit from the loyalty allowance more than anyone. and with triplets, he needs all the help he can get!! he will be aorund forever. Will surely get a token gig once his days are up. I'm sure he could teach the youth coming through about the importance of conditioning.

I do wonder though, if we didn't have a salary cap would Broxham have had the opportunities he has received at MV. Probably not.
I do hope he takes on some sort of role at the club once he retires. You could probably even put him in the accounts department, and he'd just work it out and be fine.

Broxy is having a career best season. Donks seems disinterested.

The thing about Broxham is that he would have zero expectations about being a starting player (because he never really has been one), so he would never take his spot for granted. That means he knows he has to work harder than anyone else for a spot. This season he has been a solid performer because he has started nearly every game and played out 90mins on most occasions. Other players would be a bit lazy because they operate under the assumption that as long as they are fit their spot is secure.

Not even joking, but Broxham offers us a LOT from CB and i'm more comfortable with him there then Donachie at the moment.

I think Victory have already signed Birighitti to replace him. It would explain why he unfollowed City and followed Victory on Insta.

His passing range from deep has improved out of site, the long ball he hits over the backline is actually threatening and adds a different threat to our game.

There were 2 last night that were successful (1 unfortunately offside) and 1 absolute pearler a week ago against Daegu at home.

I'm not sure i agree with that, the club promoted the hell out of it a while ago but got little interest. There was one time I tried it, but as I am a Southender, I wasn't elligible (not sure why). We need to find alternative solutions for mine.   

Isn't the south end all general admin? Ticket exchange is only for reserved seats.

Club needs to promote our ticket exchange more. 50% of the sold ticket price isn't a bad return for a game you're unable to attend, but from people I've spoken to, not many people know about it. 

The main AAMI problem is corporate which is something out of the control of the club.

Kosta and his missus just announced on insta that they're expecting with one of those gender reveal balloon burst things.

Big congrats to them, and a selfish congrats to us Victory fans as it's a pretty good reason to be staying put.

Geez, I actually know about it but had forgotten all about it. I generally miss 2 to 3 games a season with weddings / bucks days / holidays etc. Need to get onto that, you're right it's handy enough for (presumably) a few clicks. Has anyone here used it before?


Yeah, we have used it three times (2 seats) about 2 years ago and it sold once,  we got around $35 back for the 2 of us.  (Cat C seats)

Its true though,  no one knows about it.

It was also be good if they revamped the opt in/,opt out option for big games.
