I consider South Melbourne to be the opposite of a sugar hit, fancy new franchises are sugar hits Granted the time to bring in South would have been between 2005-2010, but god they couldn't possibly do worse than WU, and you have a ready made fiery rivalry with Victory right there

Recently discovered this after the Inside Sport forum died, great to see this exists with the same people

Do we think the APL would be considering throwing South Melbourne a bone? I think it would be the huge shot in the arm the A-League needs and could really re-ignite the league in Melbourne which has really stagnated since COVID They will be desperate to salvage this upcoming broadcast rights...
