Current Guilty Parties
Paul Mavroudis - Created and writes 99% of the guff on here. Arts (Honours) graduate at Victoria University, currently doing diddly before he applies for a PhD course. Attended South games only intermittently due to various very stupid reasons from about late 1992 until 2004, wandered off into some strange land in 2005, and since 2006 has been far more dedicated.
It came to my attention in April 2011 that some of you might be interested in my footballing pedigree, something I didn't think was that important, but might be to some of my audience. I've never played a junior game. I've never played a senior match. I've never coached. My experience as a player is based solely at a very social level. The highlight of my career was accidentally dribbling past about three players in a supporters match held at Lakeside Stadium a few years back. I was so surprised by this occurrence, that I fluffed a five metre pass at the end of the move.
Kiss of Death - Starting in round 3, 2010, the anonymous Kiss of Death provides his/her/its take on how the weekend's games will go, all while building a tidy cult audience. Paul Mavroudis was on more than one occasion (but most memorably by one person at Knights Stadium, round 22, 2010, against the Georgies) been equated with the Kiss of Death, but it is simply not true. The Kiss of Death is filled by a quite different mix of prejudices.
Random former and/or intermittent contributors - if I've missed you, let me know what you did, and I'll see if you deserve to be amongst the pantheon
Chris Egan - a Perth Glory fan who kinda missed the NSL, Chris provided an article on the wringer the Glory had been put through by the FFA since the end of the NSL.
Cliff Hussey - he of the limitless phone credit and a great ambassador for the efficiency and effectiveness of Melbourne's public transport system. Started up his own South Melbourne blog, before I invited him to contribute to this enterprise where he'd get more views. He did the match reports as well as took some footage in 2008, which I'm still very appreciative of. You can also visit his other blog, here.
Cuddles - provided us with a snazzy banner for the top part of the page. Which we then got bored of. We suck. We may revisit this idea, but doing it a little differently.
Gains - provided the occasional photo and knowledge of cheap and mostly good dinner options.
Jankerpoulos - a mysterious and disgruntled supporter, who wrote a scathing match report on a game we lost at Fawkner back in 2008.
'Jim' - had an interesting back and forth with the FFV some time back. Was it ethical publishing this correspondence? Probably not. Was it worth reading? I think so.
Billy Natsioulas - Former promising talent with the Melbourne Knights during the very late NSL, championship winner in 2006 with South coming back from a horrible injury, and has been hampered by injuries since at Bentleigh and Port Melbourne. Provided us with a heartfelt summary of what it was like to grow up supporting the club and then find yourself playing for it, which I really appreciated.
Cindy Nitsos - where does one start? Provided the occasional incriminating photo and jellybeans. And several comments whenever a particular former board member's name was mentioned. That should do it.
Pavlaki - Fond of golf, Carl Sagan, Sean Hannity and a good laugh. Has provided the occasional photo.
Southpole - Wrote this on smfcboard which I posted on here, indirectly got me a yellow card on smfcboard, provided several possible names for the fanzine that I wanted to get up but of course will never do.
Steve from Broady - has never written a word on this blog, but provides frequent inspiration for discussion points via his addle brained theories on how things are, influenced by his youth and the obviously substandard Catholic education system in Victoria.
