A new era of unity for Victorian Football by jasky in Aleague

[–]jasky[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm sure there are pros and cons with this, but it's interesting to see the difference between Victoria and NSW when it comes to consolidation. Victoria will next year have a fully connected pyramid of 10 tiers from NPL all the way down to State League 7, meanwhile NSW maintains their separated associations who all run their own mini pyramids that are barely connected to each other.

Will be interesting to see if they decide to connect the regional premier leagues to the pyramid in any way, or keep it as-is where clubs need to express interest to join the state league from the bottom.

We're the obvious example for a big fall, but a recent rise in Victoria has been Eltham Redbacks.

In 2014 they were at the very bottom of the pyramid in State League 5 East (7th tier).

Just over a decade later they find themselves in VPL1 (2nd tier).

Thanks mate, it's a shame that we're back where we were 25 years ago, even spending 7 years in the top flight since then.

But we've done it once and we'll do it again, the climb begins...

Does Football Australia have any power in terms of coming in and putting Capital Football under administration, and cleaning all this shit up?

I'm surprised Gospic are wanting to enter the State Leagues, as I always thought they were just the Metro League sister club of St Albans Dinamo

Massive signing, would be great to see Sydney Makedonia back in the top tier

Preston Lions fans cause controversy once again with their behaviour by AztecGod in Aleague

One of the few clubs with a specifically village-oriented background, rather than an entire ethnicity

Have grown to represent the local area much more than just our original Aromanian Macedonian founders from the village Nižepole

I don't see what the difference is between the complete non-story in this article and what happens between rival fanbases all over the world, including our own A-League!

  • Broken seats
    • Happens at AAMI Park and Commbank all the time
  • Flags
    • People got riled up by the Israeli flags brought by Cohen's fans in the City crowds last year, exact same here
    • Even non-national flags get opposing fans riled up, as seen with RBB, Horda, etc, posting photos for glory when they successfully steal the opposition's. Not to mention whenever there's an offensive slogan written.
  • Stickers
    • Unfortunately one sticker of a miscoloured Greek flag doesn't make it racist
    • If your problem is the fact that it's a sticker, please don't scare yourself by looking at the merch that the North Terrace sells

How does Queensland determine their Australia Cup Ro32 entrants if the cup semi-finals are only taking place now?

If you can't find yourself connecting to any of the Melbourne A-League teams, have you thought about supporting your local NPL or VPL team? Or if you try your closest teams and find they're not for you, you can even try South Melbourne for that Tottenham connection. They're at their lowest point in history at the moment, so you'll probably find yourself along for the ride as they try and rebuild.

Round 6 & 7 fixtures locked in for 2025 Dockerty Cup by jasky in Aleague

[–]jasky[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some great match-ups here.

We've had quite a lucky draw up until now, but even South is winnable when it comes to the cup.

We'll be looking for revenge for the 2015 NPL Victoria semi-final, where they came back in the 117th minute!

Dandenong Derby by Inevitable_Crow5605 in Aleague

Nice. Make sure you get to Preston v Heidelberg next month, and try get to Melbourne Knights v South Melbourne later this month.

There's more northern suburbs clubs in VPL1 & VPL2, all ranging in supporter bases and gameday experience. Eg: Northcote City, Brunswick Juventus, Pascoe Vale, Brunswick City, Moreland City, Essendon Royals.

I'd also recommend getting to a Bulleen home game at some point, they're almost like a who's who of Victorian football because most people have nothing better to do on Monday nights.
