I wonder if they're replacing someone, or they're adding two teams to NPL1, or what?

NPL1, along with Eastern Jets.

In addition to the licences listed above that will be offered, FFV will offer a licence to Eastern Jets and Border FC to start in the 2015 season.

I just want an NPL club at the old Optus oval ffs....theres no local club for me to support :(

Moreland Zebras aren't exactly too far away

Neither are Brunswick City.
I'd certainly recommend Moreland though.

Dont they just play on paddocks with next to 0 facilities?

You're having a laugh surely. Many clubs have excellent facilities. Sure, some are just fields but that doesn't mean you can't support. South Melbourne, Melbourne Knights, Preston, Heidelberg, FC Bendigo, Ballarat etc are fine. Would like to see Port and Richmond get some proper facilities.

Port is quite welcoming, so long as the crowd isn't too big there's undercover seating and decent food.

That's true but it needs a bit of a polish up. Great Greek food but. :cool:

You'd probably the best person to ask but why are FC Bendigo moving from their current stadium to regional park shithole?

The question now is who the hell are Eastern Jets?

Good club? Their whole entire senior squad and many long time supporters and board memebers walked away from the club last year after Ange and his mates decided to take over with NPL and ultimately $$$ in their sights.

Most of the senior players walked away because they believed a player was selected on Ange's instructions - the club argue that the player in question was better than the player he replaced. It's debatable.

Meanwhile, what a damning critique of the club that Ange Postecoglou should be involved... Who on Earth would want the coach of the national team to be involved with their small state league club?

As for my statement - "good little club", any small suburban side that manages to develop two players capable of getting EPL deals in the space of a few years is safe to be called "good", and with regard to the "good not-so-little people", those I've talked to directly certainly appear to have football first in their hearts and heads... That'll do for me.

All great things must come to an end - spectacular effort from South to win 14 games straight (11 league, 3 cup) - comprehensively outplayed in the 2nd half at Oakleigh last night, Miron won the tactical battle. Never mind, 6 points clear with almost half the season gone - and the only game we've lost is to the 2nd place club at their ground - not bad.

If there was a game to live stream this season, that was it.

If there was a game to live stream this season, that was it.

South Melbourne and GVS at Bob Jane should've been a straightforward walkover for Souths.

Turned out a 1-1 all draw. Are south getting complacent?

Simon Collosimo to GVS? They recruit so well for a team so far from Melbourne, and playing so badly!
