Expected - Avondale 4 South Melbourne 0


After disregarding the ample time available to me on Sunday to post something about this game - for whatever reason it seemed more worth my time to harvest the olives from next door's tree that hangs over our fence - I'm just popping in quickly to note that in terms of the scoreline this is probably exactly what we expected; in terms of how it happened, probably about 50/50.

I don't know how many players Avondale had out which made us look slightly better than what we are, and I don't really care. Nor do I care that they kinda put the cue in the rack after 4-0. I do care that we copped three in five minutes, but I also care that the team at least played the game out to the end, and looked closer to scoring a league goal than it has for a couple of months. Don't get me wrong, though - the experience still sucked.

Next game
Tonight, Dockerty Cup away to Bentleigh. This game will not be televised. This game will be televised. Bloody late notice.

New caretaker coach
Having gone through our entire rolodex and being hung up on by everyone they've called - including Mrs Neville from across the street - we finally have a coach to take us through to the end of the NPL season. Welcome back, I suppose, Sinisa Cohadzic, former South youth team coach and technical director.

Final thought
I know that the Dockerty Cup isn't a priority anymore, but... I don't know... I still care about it.

    Rumours that both Port Melbourne and Melbourne Knights parted ways with their coach today. I do wonder if South's announcement pushed them to make the call.

    Reckon either of them will pick up Estaban? There were rumours he might head to Hume but I don't see that happening now.

    Dockerty Cup, as Australia Cup qualifier and in its own right, is a significant and legitimate football competition. I'm all for it.

A few notes on comments.

We've had a lot of fun over the years with my freewheeling comments policy, but all good things must come to an end. Therefore I will no longer be approving comments that contain personal abuse of any sort.

Still, if your post doesn't get approved straight away, it's probably because I haven't seen it yet.
