I find it bizarre how a few footy fans get so defensive and fired up when someone says they like soccer or maybe something about soccer is better than footy they are so different and both amazing sports. can’t we all just get along?!?! 🙂

Not to mention the A league returns on Friday! *ducks for more cover to avoid metal buckets

Completely agree. Staying on topic about the Victory crowd debacle the A league could well fold in a couple of years the ways it’s being managed its more the general soccer is boring / bs that I’ve heard for decades that is tiresome. Dont like then don’t watch it

As I figured this has turned into a thread to knock soccer. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it close thread?

That’s a long bow there mate. Maybe soccer should be cancelled. Lol

How the mighty have fallen The hawks have only 3 home games at the MCG in the first 15 rounds and only 3 games on free to air. No Friday night games and they have 2 top 6 sides twice they got screwed! 🙂 *some of this due to playing games in Tassie

Cmon. If it wasn’t entertaining or exciting people would lose interest over time. Its a beautiful game full of skill and technique and can be played by people of any size. I’m biased as I love the game and played it for 20 years so I understand if others don’t get it

Soccer is far the most popular sport in the world for a reason. Brings joy to hundreds of millions. and is easily the popular sport in Australia to play. I’ve been to many A league matches and I find there are less fights and personal abuse that footy matches. The media don’t like reporting on all the fights at the footy for some reason. Believe me or not I’m upset about last night, a few hundred absolute morons who should be thrown in jail. Absolute disgrace. Has reversed all the goodwill gained from the World Cup and will set the game back even further.

Waaaannnna tap it

Great midfield, stacked fwd line, poor defence theyll be up and down like usual until they fix the defence surprised Bevo got an extension

Only missing a inside bull to assist Parker and one of their young fwds to break out and they are very complete that happens when you are gifted top 3 picks when you finish top 4

My tip to surprise a few this year. Predict they win 10+ and push for a finals spot Gibney and Hewitt should make an impact in their first season. Many of their ageing stars are fit again im glad we avoided them as a bottom 4 double up

golly good show number 48!

A fit and firing T Mac and Lever will have a huge difference to our team. Marking was a major issues in 2022. Ball retention and rebound and transitioning fwd

Joel Smith in the rehab/light duties group again?! Poor bloke just can’t ever get his body right

they won 8 of their first 11 last year in fairness. But I would bottom out if i was Ross. trade a few players and hit the draft

Defence is still poor. Midfield and fwd line decent to good but they need King there Need quality backs and more high end talent all over the ground could sneak into finals if all goes well

Their additions will see them easily in finals. Bolton and Lynch are two of the best players in the league and who knows with Dusty an interesting watch.

I said watch out 😂

The Big Kahuna?? 😂

Im still adjusting to Clarrys curly man bun

Time to cancel Foxtel I reckon

People expected West Coast to be easy beats like last year are in for a shock. They could barely field a team for the first half of the year and then tanked the rest

Agree they have some decent players. But still won’t win more than 5 games

Another spoon coming up. Some good kids but not much else
