Thanks bud.... Derby wins are just that much more special.

Good luck on your trip up north too, lets hope both our clubs get through and face each other next round :)

think he's still recovering haha congrats mate enjoy

Congratulations mate on a great derby win. you guys are flying hope you beat Wellington hahaha

VAMOS HELLAS!!!!!!!!!! The dreaded OV curse is finally lifted.... It was bloody cold but a good couple of thousand brave souls turned up.

So very proud of the game lads, first half was classic shaky Melbourne derby but once big H came on in the second half we found the second (and third) gears and just played beautiful football. Andy Brennan... words cannot describe what an immense game you had son... thank you....

Check out the goals below, South's first goal is a thing of sheer joy, just flowing, fluid, intuitive Hellas football.... LOVE THIS CLUB!!!!!!!!

60 years on and we still have a pulse to this derby... well done Bergers, good luck for the rest of your season, good luck against CCM in the Australian Cup, Im having Eggs on Toast for breakfast :)

Meahnwhile, for all the South haters, come watch us get knocked out of the Dockerty Cup tonight at OV..

Thanks Mid, Ive watched this many a time... oh the wonderful memories and moments this club has given me and my family over the decades :)

Gee we played some pretty football at times, on cow paddocks and in front of small crowds but it WAS pretty.... 

enjoy.... you can't change history ....

I'll vote for ya bud... :)

Fuck I could fixture so much better than some organisations hey

That sounds like the fair way to do it but then how exactly would Oakleigh get a guaranteed path to the final? lol

They should have just kept the Dockerty Cup as is, and then have the four losing quarter-finalists enter their own little 4-team knockout cup where the winner also goes into the Australia Cup Round of 32 (and the Dockerty Cup semis just continue as is)

Well, its gonna be the Wellington Phoenix at Lakeside next month for the Australian Cup....  Happy with that... alway good to test ourselves against a "professional" club to gauge where the squad is at.. Esteban... we are counting on you and the lads to NOT disappoint against Aleague opposition again..... 

Yeah mate it is, but as VIC now has 5 entries into the round of 32 for the Australia cup that means that for the contiounation of the Dockerty cup (VIC clubs only) we have to have 2 teams play a playoff match to enter the semi final .... of course it helps a certain clubs cause ... but eh, what do you expect?

Wait, the Dockerty Cup isn't just a continuation of the Australia Cup Victorian qualifying rounds anymore?

HAHAHAHAAH I am sooooo shocked.

We face Heidelberg to get the "chance" to play Hume City to make the Dockerty Cup final and the club of the husband(wife) of the CEO of the federation plays one game against NPL 3 side Fitzroy Serbija to make that same final??? hahahahaha Jesus why do they even bother pretending to hold a draw sometimes?

Pretty poor for a derby at the Village...  Maybe 1500 max... it was raining and bloody cold though ..... no excuses both clubs are top 4 .... Plenty of Bergers fans not many of us .... Years gone by it was a better crowd.

How was the crowd? Hard to tell from the telecast 

NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!! Playing 3 U23s in the Derby??? That one is on you Esteban, yes the lads where wasteful, got caught ball watching in the midfield countless times, but not being able to at least equalise against 10 men for 30 mins?????  ... lost a real chance to go 8 points clear and secure the title..... thats two sloppy games on the trot, lets home this isnt the start of a slump in form... we've got two cups and the league to win this year :)

Only game in town on Sunday (at least in top flight) .. get down to the village for a souva boys and girls...

WTF was that all about lads?? Last night was the flattest I have seen us play all year...   Still a win is a win, plenty of chances, the bloody ball just wouldnt go in.

Well played to Dinamo, they gave us a challenge, all the best with the rest of your season, hope you can avoid relegation.

So Round of 32 in Australia Cup, Semi Finals of Dockerty Cup and top of the league with a 4 point buffer... big game at the village on Sunday, could be the last time we head out there for a while...

FORZA HELLAS.

Wow this is gonna be hectic

Not too far away now, hopefully... The snipets look amazing. 

yep so so many stories club to club, countless ones tbh that would help many young gens get it.

TBH don't need Optus looking ahead even though I enjoy being a subscriber..
New NST viewing rights partner could work on this, also now that the Feds are activating YouTube live links now which is great Club stories can be added to each Feds sites and links.

Great to see. There’s so much history and great stories from the past and present that can be covered for the upcoming championship whoever does have the rights would be silly not to have a mini series about the different rivalries and teams.

Would love Optus to get the championship rights.
and do a proper football belongs episodes each week would be great
