Rubbish game. Very strange to see a SMFC 'home' game in Bentleigh.

Peter Zois on top form though, a couple of outstanding saves from a keeper who's lack of an A-League place for the last few seasons is baffling.

John Van't Schip was at the game looking in better shape than anyone on the pitch.

Still can't believe South are playing 4-5-1, especially as the '1' isn't exactly a superstar.

Caldwell should be up for selection any week now.

the weekends game showed how much we struggle without Vasilevski, the playing surface was very ordinary as well, they get 20 minutes of rain and the place gets flooded:lol:

South is playing at northcotes ground this week, quality playing surface so no more excuses, should be a bumper crowd as well against sunshine.

will be a very different looking team in the next couple of weeks with 1-2 strikers being closely looked at and a defender in the transfer window.

In terms of support of course people in oakleigh only care about oakleigh, when they play away from home you can hear a pin drop when they score, SMFC has supporters all over melbourne and is well represented at every venue, every south match bar 1-2 is like a home match as far as support goes, oakleigh on the other hand can only draw a crowd when they play home on a friday night, when they play away or a home fixture on a sunday its as if they dont exist, pretty poor for an area that has a massive greek population and a club that has modelled itself on smfc 20 years ago:lol:
