2017/18 Melbourne Victory Thread. We Are The Champions!!!!

[dwwaino]

Give the man what he wants ffs. I would hate to see him in another HAL shirt.

Lol @ his comments on China though.

 

[Quivorir]

Hope Team 11 sign him.

 

[MrPremiership]

Fixture to be released at 12pm today.

Melbourne Derby Round 1 being touted.

 

[giggler99]

The fixture is out!

Good to see we have a few early games at AAMI Park!
But the kick off times through 7pm Sunday’s

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Geez give Leroy some of Rhys William's $$$$ now he has gone.

 

[giggler99]

Also noticed with the fixture no Cup eve match this season which is strange.

 

[Jeffy38!]

Hey I've only been here for 2 years, love the club but despise traveling 2-3 hours for 90 minutes of action. A team 11 ground would be 10 minutes from my house

I second this, it sucks going all the way to the city. Forza Dandy!

 

[darko]

4 Sunday evening home game. 3 @ 5pm and 1 @ 7pm. Yuck.

I usually miss couple games a year but looks like it might be few more this year.

 

[darko]

Don't understand how the club fails to see he's worth marquee wages.

 

[Jeffy38!]

Yep, bad people management. Losing Leroy after Berisha is as obscene as Sydney FC losing Bobo and Mierzejewski.

 

[giggler99]

Yeah I'll be doing the same. And if the Team 11 bid gets up I'll be off the Victory bandwagon altogether.

Turncoating talk or otherwise is a sin in this thread! give yourselves a ban until your sins are replenished and ready to commit MVFC till I die!

One thing about George is he really struggled to play out 90mins is that worth marquee wages? Not denying his talent but if you can't run out 90mins especially considering his age is he worth the marquee wage?

The lustre of Victory 'till I die was lost when I was forced to move to level 3 in the south end of etihad stadium years ago. Then whenever I stood up a security guard would come over to tell me to sit down. It's then I realised mvfc doesn't really give a stuff.

 

[MrPremiership]

Talk of George joining Sydney, Wanderers or City.

Lots of money available to spend on signings.....got to get it right, especially with champions league

Well I can understand your point of view on security's behavior and the way the clubs handling toward its active fans in the past has been, believe me I've seen it myself. I just can't understand through how people can invest time, money, emotions and cherished memories into a club than to just piss it all away and change allegiances as if that all means nothing.

I remember when Heart come in their was a lot of it and was and become a big part in the hatred between the two clubs No thanks to Scott Munn who would sprook it at every opportunity with his foul mouth.

 

[Quivorir]

Keep in mind I have only been a soccer fan for two years, let alone a Victory fan. Whilst I consider myself loyal, and will still be a member when team 11 don't get up, I am just not entrenched into the club like I am say North Melbourne. Its been a good right, but I can't continue to justify the amount of travel, and the rest of the pain that comes with being a soccer fan in this country, for 90 minutes of action.

I will always like victory, but a team that's 1/2 drive away as opposed to an hour, is better. I won't have to pay shiteloads for parking etc. If I take pt it will be 1/3 the time and I can take my kids without getting back super late. I like the idea of a more local club, like what we had in the old afl/VFL. We have lost that now with the current model.

You are prob right he isn't quite worth marquee money but then troisi is...very frustrating. I guess the question is how much more he had asked for above last season. Would have thought with Bes gone Leroy is even more critical as there are very few with his class plus he is a known quantity. Will really really shit me if he lines up for another a league club.

5 games at Docklands Stadium. 5 games I won't be going to. Partly why I gave up the season ticket a couple years ago.

I don't like us playing at Etihad but can understand why we need to do it.

We don't need to do it. A decade ago we did but now we have a fine stadium that's rarely sold out but the owners are accustomed to the pile of money Docklands Stadium pays them. It's going to be so passé by 2027.

An hour away.

Public transport is ****ed. I dunno, it may get better when this sky rail shit is finally finished, but it's horrible at the moment.

The George interview was interesting. He said the league isnt very good. But he's negotiating with other clubs to stay and play

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Leroy officially gone.

I think he means the standard is average and that makes him look better than he is.

could well be yes

 

[Quivorir]

Incredibly disappointed that we let him go. Where else was the money going?
