Very little evidence of this in 2015.

That is true but it was only our first year in the competition. It will take time for our fan base to become aware of the NPL but I think it will inevitably grow as more fans start to tire of just AFL in the winter. The active fans have already shown they are more likely to turn up as well.

At the very least, people are going to turn up for matches against Knights, South and Heidleberg.

jacob colosimo back at knights. Also i think i read avondale will be playing out of knight stadium this season so that pitch is already up the shitter

Pascoe Vale now called FC instead of SC, and with new logo.

Is the NPL Victoria live streamed?

Nope. Some big games are. Little else.



Held up very well last season, despite having many sides playing on it.

Class badge and name change.

Very, very similar to Manchester City logo.

Still looks good and the sc to fc is a welcome overdue change.

Promotion and relegation to and from NPL2 and SL1 will take place in 2017. Keen as a bean. http://www.cornerflag.com.au/ffv-announces-npl-2-sl1-promotion-and-relegation-in-2017/

Richmond (2016 NPL squad) isn't up yet.

Edited by Brenton1986: 17/2/2016 06:57:35 PM

I thought Jonaton Germano was playing for Avondale this upcoming season, no?

Yep. They're just waiting on his permanent residency to come through before they can register him.

Have Heidelberg been deducted points? According to Fox Sports Pulse app they're currently on -3.

Is this legit? Or a glitch...

From a penalty imposed on them last year.

south absolutely reaming Heidelberg 4-0 at the moment

Went one better then Melb city in the ffa cup, 6-0 the final score to south.

Credit where it's due, over 3,500 turned up to watch south Melbourne, probably the best supported club in the NPL.

The thing that sucks is the Grand Prix forces us to play a long stretch of away games after round 1, I think our next home match is in April, by then our momentum is killed, summer is gone and the crowds start to fall off. You get a crowd like that and you win 6-0 the place would have been rocking if we had another home game in a fortnight.

We had a similar crowd in round 1 last year but this one was more impressive because we went directly head to head with Melbourne city.

4 leg NPL multi come up this weekend :)

Victory to beat Northcote
Knights Gully draw
Hume to beat Richmond
South to beat Heidelberg

$170 from $5

I think it is the right time to start letting some old NSL clubs back into the A-league. South Melbourne should be rewarded for bringing in a crowd that big to watch a state league game.

Nice work. William Hill has South paying $1.47 against Northcote this week which is ludicrous, I'm thinking of leading up on that, maybe chucking it in a multi with Bentleigh ($1.37) to beat Richmond and Green Gully ($2.15) to beat Pascoe Vale

heidelberg 5 knights 0 ht

knights got raped 6-1 :shock:

Yes 19 SU 58 shit ugly result...

Early days but their squad looks very low on quality, they could be a in a lot of strife this season. I think Northcote & Richmond probably look weaker but they could very well be in the relegation mix

Souths 2 nil up against Port atm.

Knights 2 - Northcote city 0

Oakleigh 0 - Richmond 0

Scores so far
