Official South Melbourne Hellas thread 🔵⚪

yer ok fellas.
Pretty much how I see it, complacency and typically suck the lemon to the very last drop but then its all too late horse's have bolted your left behind.
As mentioned at the worst time possible.
Christ putting in a totally in experienced assistant gaffa says it all and relation, at this level and day and age this is massive ignorance 101.
I still shake my head over that Oceania league hence saying out of the blue.
Like christ first things first, NPL then get ready for the Championship.
Nothing else should matter period.
So I expect there is going to be some kind of supporter backlash coming games towards the board and so it should tbh.

Pretty much exactly as the previous two posters have stated matey... Things where looping along nicely, happy to get reults in a noin-challenging league whne we where all too busy looking forward to the future of NSD... Now that we have finally started to crash and burn we all suddenly realise we are going to be an embarrassment on the pitch infront of a national audience and its all panic stations ... I have faith ... just barely, but if things dont change soon their will be a bit of a stink amongst the lon term nutters.... I call for calm but I dont blame the "revolution" either...

The crazy thing is we are only 2 points outside the top 6. Any team that strings a couple games together will jump big time. The caliber opponents we have coming up pretty much means we will likely be bottom.

Look, realistically one of two thing will happen in my opinion.

1) we'll jag a scrappy, ugly draw at home (or heaven forbid win from a Mikolla throw or something stupid) and the heat will dissapate a little on Esteban and the plens will march out subdued that at least we didnt get demolished.

2) more likely we are going to get absolutely pantsed, Im talking 6-7 nil territory and there will be some extremely upset voices screaming into the April evening down by the lake....

One way or the other, the club HAS to make a statement before the match.... The Viking kourada has left and no mention of it by South is a terrible reflection of the disdain they show their members....

Thats the thing right, do I think we will win the league? No. Do I think we can make finals? It can be done... We need a severe kick up the ass and I am 90% sure Quintas isn't the man to do that. Making finals is some what achievable but based of our current trajectory its not.

At the moment we are the least desirable football club for ANY player or manager to join though.. Making ourselves an even MORE undesirable/toxic club isnt the solution...

Looking at the ladder, pretty much 6th spot is up for grabs for anyone, hell even Port Melbourne.

Its hard to argue that South is the least desirable of all those clubs right now.

I guess what Im saying is that coaching a club like Port Melbourne (no disrespect intended at all) doesn't come with the same pressure as sitting on the bench at Hellas... Yes we are a shadow of our former selves, and probably will be from now on, but that fuckin shirt with SMFC on the front can be very heavy and the expectations of, lets face it, a toxic fanbase, can be very intense... If I was a decent football manager Id hesitate to take over from Esteban now....

Still recovering from the Italian final send off so could be useful at NPL level haha

Yes mate I read your post.
Look it might be the good kick in the arse for your coach as well as long as he does try to change his usual formation and play.
That would be the first thing to do and be driven by the board to him.

Mate I still love the guy.. I think he is a little crazy, is an absolutely football tragic and seems to really love the club ..... If he turns things around, comes out against Heidelberg (because lets face it this is the final chance) and plays a little more open, simple, atatcking football. I for one, win, lose or draw, will be happy.

Sadly, it really doies seem like he has lost the dressing room, players look absolutely miserable ... You may remeber 7-8 weeks ago I mentioend I hadn;t ever heard the players talk back to him before, now it seems like they wanna kill hime very time he opens his mouth.

Its a sad sorry situation all round... BUT the CLUB comes before ANYONE, you know that.... Look at the reds, Slotski is only as good as his results now, lose a couple of matches in the run home and thousands will be calling for his head despite being, what I think, a modern miracle at Anfield....

I hope he can turn it around for our and his sake, but its looking pretty dire at this point. Will be beat Bergers, no. But we should be beating Gully & Eastern Lions in our next two, because we definitely aren't beating Avondale and Cannons.

OK.. Tuesday prediction ...

SMFC 2 - Eggs on Toast 0 .... Andy first half from outside the box... Max, poachers goal from set piece, goal mouth scramble late in second half ......

I cant see how we beat Gully if we looked like a joke against Altona even with a man up.

Woooow thats a big call....and would be a get out of jail free card for coach/board... on form they will run rigjt over us, even if we go ahead tey are more adaptable in tactics.. for me if we go behind early we will get run right over...

*Side note: worst thing that can happen, with a son at the bergers juniors, is we get destroyed and the kid reverts, they already trying to convert him but we holding strong... he has been warned that if that happens he will walk back north from lakeside! 🤣
