If they were all rates payers in that Council then maybe yes but the numbers might not be the landslide you imagine

If Olympic Park hadn't been pointlessly destroyed, it would have been the ideal spot for first team training. 

Olympic Park's destruction has to be one of Victoria's biggest heritage shames of the last twenty years. Eddie McGuire was on the Athletics Victoria board to make it happen ffs, it's stuffed Little Atheltics in Victoria for ever as Lakeside cannot be used for the state championships 99% of the year, which you could tell  would happen because the F1 happens at the same time as the state champs have always been held. Collingwood and McGuire especially should be ashamed of themselves.

correct. its the most disgraceful thing eddie has done. and he's done a few. what kills me about this is that no one still has the guts to call him out for it. using his hat as an athletics Australia board member to relocate them, so Collingwood could move in was treachery and a conflict of interest at its highest.

Bing guns on commentary, Joey Lynch and David Davutovic, should be good quality presentation.

Sehavdic latching onto a poor clearance from a long throw and finishes. 1-1. I'm excited by his development as a number 9.

Apparently Kurz is a done deal. I don't mind it, he's got a similar win % rate to Musky with far less tools at his disposal.

Will be a good fit for sure. He’ll get the most out of his squad while forging the squad into a disciplined team who will give their absolutely all instead of having a squad of individuals who were only out for themselves under Muscat (looking at you Troisi and Kosta).

As an Adelaide fan, I’m disappointed he’s gone to Victory but I can’t hold it against him.

I can see troisi getting his ass kicked into gear by kurz. He'll  be backtracking  like no tomorrow  . Wonder what players he'll  try to bring in if he is the coach

Germans or players who have played in Germany, especially players from the Bundesliga 2.

His record is ok but has been very unlucky with injuries. Absalonsen (when fit), Adlung and Jakobsen were fantastic signings.

Boland looked even better than Adlung before getting injured and hasn’t reached the same levels since. Cavusevic suffered a career ending ACL injury after playing just four games.

He did get some signings wrong in Matmour who looked technically very good but offered little output and left after about 9 games due to his wife being homesick. Ken Ilso was terrible and the less said about him the better.

I’m not counting Thomassen as he was a Piet signing.

In conclusion,  Kurz has 3 very good signings, the jury is out on Boland, one suffered a career ending injury and 2 were duds.

Antonis still has a year left on his contract so it will be very unlikely he goes to another HAL club next season, but could potentially take an overseas offer. SFC, WSW and Macarthur have all apparently expressed interest in signing him for the 20/21 season.

Apparently Antonis wants to be closer to family.  I hate that excuse,  Melbourne is too far away from his family in Sydney but Greece isn't (previously) so many use this excuse. Having said that hopefully gets another solid year then does go overseas.

Yeah the family excuse for signing for a different team is such a shit meme.

Cough Rudan cough.

No A-League contract can withstand "family reasons" lol

Remember when Mitch Nichols got out of his contract at Perth Glory for "family reasons" and signed for a club in Indonesia eight days later? That was probably my favourite.
