Another puff pastry post by Maikousis. Absolute Fraud. Where is any accountability from this current board. Leo became the fall guy for Andrew Mesourounis decision to axe Chris Taylor that blew up in our faces. The rest of them still kept their positions.

The junior and senior programs endured much better sucess under Leo then what they have with Nick Maik. Nobody cares who finishes top, its who wins the finals. One miserly Dockerty Cup in 7 years. Pathetic. Two championships and nearly all junior sides were winning their age groups when Leo was there. Compare that to now.

Preston embrace their background. South sit there, scared and condemn the HFC or what exists of it now whenever they show their faces every solar eclipse. The south fans are part of the problem, everyone sat there timid and didn't even chant at either Preston game. Lift farken

Im wondering what it is exactly you would be expecting them to chant back? There are maybe 200 die hards left, none interested in the Bulgar -slaying wars of the 1200s, most would struggle to even speak Greek anymore, even the ones that think they are the decendants of Alexander and Leonidas. Lining up with the Golden Dawn mercenaries like the HFC who put their parents place of birth before their football club would be a massive mistake in my opinion.. As would attracting those dumb fuck Horda idiots. That shit was last century, If other clubs want to go down that nationalistic path, good luck to them.. We can build our club again without it. .
 
HFC and Horda are pig shit scum

Wasn't anything to chant for most recent Preston game but was Plenty of chanting during the FFA Cup game...

EDIT: Another moronic post from Takaki, he might be a bigger idiot than Mr. Selectfew-braincells.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion if they pay their membership guys .... Some of our fans are still stuck on South Melbourne Hellas just being about the "Hellas" part ... thats their prerogative. If enough people wanted to make us a defacto Oakleigh then there are avenues within the constitution of the club to push that ticket ... doesn't seem like enough of a desire is there amongst our now, largely, multicultural membership base...
 
Takaki was doing well until he mentioned those HFC parasites, the fact is the original hfc crew (20 years ago) were very problematic for the club. The new breed are x1000 worse, they're trouble makers, they're more likely to be alligned with MV, and quite frankly their values dont allign with the current day South fan. We are football fans above all. The first part of that post was spot on but then it went completely off the rails.

Speaking of Chris Taylor, not only did he embarass us in 2 grand finals, we actually play Oakleigh away in the final game of the season, him relegating us would be the icing on the cake.

As long as one isnt at the expense of the other, i would argue.. strengthening our Hellenic base shouldnt be viewed as straying in any way from anyone else being welcome but as a priveledge. Sure as hell dont want "bucket boy" morons no matter how Greek they try to convince me they are (keep them in the aleague were they belong), but Tak does raise a valid point that straying too far from our heritage is just as troublesome longterm as going fully Golden Egg!! .. Effectively embracing it all is the tricky part ...

* to be fair there was an expectation of a bit more of a reaction from our fans to some of the chants from the northerners, as educstionally challenged as they may be.... Ακου εκεί ούτε 1 "Σας δώσαμε πατρίδα αλλά σε λίγο θα'στε Αλβανοί" να ζεστάνουν λιγάκι τα αίματα 😛😛

Re, Im a bigger Ellinara than most... but thats my point.. my outlet of Hellenism isnt the football club anymore (probably because i'm not a 19 year old ratbag chanting "at least we've got a country" and ducking chunks of brick and flares being thrown ...)

We "strayed" from our heritage in the 90s, we were white-washed into dropping the name, dropping the badge ... I agree that finding that balance is key.. Hellas will ALWAYS mean what it means to you and I, but in order to expand past where we are we have to take into consideration what it means to future generations ... You see the juniors and their parents at every match, growing as passionate as we were, they support the"new" badge and the "new" South Melbourne.... for what it stands for as a club AND its a quirky thing to them that we have Greek heritage... Im comfortable with that moving forward.... Respect the "old" and embrace the "new" is my motto.

I left the club in the 90's because it just seemed we were just a bunch of Nationalistic types.

But due to both external forces and my own internal development, I returned in 2012.

I was hoping that others would do the same. But alas .....
