Eednud Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Great day out in Melbourne for the Glory. Women through to the Grand Final winning 4-2 a.e.t. with hat trick for Sam Kerr. Men half as good winning 2-1. 7 points ahead with 9 games to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIII Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Great day out in Melbourne for the Glory. Women through to the Grand Final winning 4-2 a.e.t. with hat trick for Sam Kerr. Men half as good winning 2-1. 7 points ahead with 9 games to go.Was not expecting for the Glory to walk away with the 3 points. Our away form this year has been sensational. Its hard not to get carried away and think about winning this year but fully expect for the bottle to crash at some point.Kerr has been brilliant for the woman's team and has dragged the team over the line more than once this season already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 "Western Athletic", I mean WTF? an awful nothing name. My guess is they avoided Melbourne in the name to avoid alienating potential fans in Geelong where they are playing for first two seasons before moving to the Melbourne suburb of Tarneit in 2021. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Pride would however have been a much better name imo however. I'm a firm believer that a new club like this needs identity with a city/area, this is nothing. Disappointing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I spoke too soon. Seems the Western Athletic thing wasnt true & instead it's the uber generic 'Western United'. Home kit is seemingly going to green & black stripes. Think Celtic away circa 2006 or Sassuolo home. Away kit is white. At least thats something different.https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/western-united-new-melbourne-a-league-side-to-confirm-name-colours-20190212-p50xcb.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Given that most teams in the A League have pish names, I have no idea why someone would be offended by Western Athletic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the numbers stayed on the back of the shirts. Jets made hard work of it and as you said earlier their unlikely to get past Kashima. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XIII Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 After all the work Craig Foster has done in getting Hakeem home (while the FFA stayed silent on the matter), inconjunction with the Matilda's debacle the FFA have decided maybe Gallops position should be reviewed.How you may ask? Another fucking survey... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
