South Melbourne? You're right, it's not very inclusive of North, East or West Melbourne is it.


Or suburb that isn't South Melbourne.

If they could go back to Southern Cross, that'd be great.


:shock:

Oh rats, you really were referring to 'South' weren't you , I thought it was another tut tut at the word 'Hellas'... I should really stop attempting to be a smart arse :lol:

Well, they obviously can't call themselves Hellas either, but yes, I was referring to South.

It would be good if they could have a name that references their Greek heritage without alienating mainstream Australia. Shame Olympians is taken.

Very interesting interview but it offers nothing different to that which is being discussed in the other current threads.

Rather than close it I am going to move it to State League as there may be other issues in thé segment people may wish to discuss.

N.B nice facilities.

Why would you move a totally relevant thread from the Australian to the State forum?

It is purely about the aleague and offers a deeper and clear perspective of South's unwavering attempt to continue pursuing an aleague license whilst also showcasing the amazing facilities on offer.

Moving his thread is a "paid off" move IMO that more than hints at bias and hypocrisy.

Australia deserves to know and see what South Melbourne can offer and the video showcases it in glorious HD.

Sure it makes Heart's trash-like facilities look like a joke but that is why South Melbourne is targeting the Heart license as it can acquire it and take it to the next level.

Can you tell me one thing in that interview that was new, or independently worthy of a thread as it isn't being discussed in the other two threads...I just watched it and it told me nothing new, it should have been posted in the ćurrent thread. And rather thań lock it, I moved it.

Don't think it'd be worth the meltdown of some forumites here, on both sides of the line :lol:

I have no problem with South joining the league. They're just going to have to do something about that name. Not exactly broadbased, is it?

Let them in ffs. If Heart can survive, I'm sure a club playing in a rent-free stadium isn't going to have too many problems especially if the FFA maintain their consistency and cover at least some part of the player wages. At least we'll have a proper club and one which invests in youth development playing in the top tier.

of course we haven't dickhead.....we're just one of the few if any clubs in Australia that have implemented the FFA's accredited youth structure and have full time staff including Mehment Durakovic overseeing it.

Most SMH fans bagged the shite out of the A League at its inception and predicted its failure within 3 months and now?

Those "fans" are long gone. Anyone with half a brain could see that the A-League was the way forward (I'll ignore your massive generalization).
