NPL 2025

what a great night

Banter, football and everyone went home safe

Well done to both clubs.

Our franchise friends tried to enter and vicpol/security swiftly took care of them incredible work

Good luck to all other teams and have a fabulous weekend. I need a drink after that one

P.s sozer is some keeper man
Marcus missing a sitter in front of the Heidelberg goals ...

can anyone define NPL VIC in one sentence better than that?
 
Ridiculous straight red to the young Vuck after 5 minutes. Ref thinks it was the last defender, it wasn't. Terrible call and ruined the match as soon as it started.
Agree, bullshit call... yellow for professional foul OK, but there was still a defender to beat ...def NOT denial of clear goal scoring opp....

NPL VIC refs are garnagae .. Look at this howler we copped last week (courtesy of smfcmikes super slow mo) .

Not only wasn't the pen give, Andy got booked for simulation..... its a farce.

Crazy hey lol

Bergers were the better team overall

The #4 ali?
#6 lesiotis, ngor, bul juach are top notch footballers. Same story for them as the dinamo game. Missed chances cost them and they let us back into the game.
 
I heard Preston had a viewing of the game back at the club, not sure how much truth to that. Crowd probably settled in at around 2.5k which is decent for a neutral venue. Good turnout from both sides but cant but feel it would have been much bigger at the village.
We were contemplating hosting something at the club but we didn't in the end.

Alot of people turned off by the move to hotm. Knowing the parking situation etc. Heaps were keen to head to Olympic Village but decided they'll just get together and watch from home.

Also expecting 5k plus this Friday. Especially it being a long weekend down here.

Even crazier you don't know who you officials are until game now.

Previously it would be on the fv website by Tuesday/Wednesday
 
I feel this seasons Sydney comp is the most open in a long time.
I can't recall APIA being 10th on the ladder for sometime despite just R4, they are leaking goals terribly, Franco fix this pronto !
BC's Choi been around along time pulls off a late winner.
Spirit's 4 games is a great start thats for sure.

Yeah it was a pretty entertaining match overall, it WAS the Bergers to lose though... Jeggo is a superstar...

Yeah can't wait till Friday...... If we win tonight it will 2nd v 3rd with EVERYTHING at stake .... I predict a dramatic match........
 
NPL Queensland is the best IMO. Shout out to them for having matches go late into the night on a Sunday. I love it. WA sucks because they are all at the same time on a Saturday.
 
Ouf this is going to rile up some people lol
Nah the bloke is "doing a Rugari" he is a journalist "tis poutsas" ... going with whatever he thinks will get a good response.

3 x weeks ago the story was a little different:


"Somewhere along the line, Australian football become built on a model based on small communities, adamant that, even after the financial collapse of their own competition, the future of football down under lay in closed migrant groups.

Thankfully, they have been proven to be wrong, utterly wrong and completely wrong."
 
I think the City v Macarthur crowd will be ok, it will be a warm night in Melb and i'd be surprised if 5k didnt turn up at least. Who gets the bigger crowd will be marginal. The difference will be one venue will be a sea of empty green seats whilst the other will be close to full.

As for the game, due to the crowd i think Preston will be difficult to beat at home all season. Specifically this Friday a lot will depend on the status of Bell, Markovski and Guy...thats a dangerous frontline, if those 3 dont come up we will have a better chance as we would only need to contain Brooks for the most part.

Will be interesting to see if we can pack out the away end again like last year.

And there is no AFL in Melbourne either I suppose...
 
Crowd looked good on the stream ..... stupid that there are no lights on the temp grandstand though.... poor bastards sit in the dark, no cover and the wind howling for 90 mins .... terrible place.
I cant fathom why they didnt leave the hill behind the goals and put a smaller stand on the opposite side to the main stand given its not restircted by room or anything... town planning at its best once again!
