We are getting what we deserve, football punishes.

Oh yeh make sure you get down early to watch the women on Sunday..the team that received 10 new players over the summer whilst the club sought to relegate our mens team.

They must have known JJ was stepping down and the "new" FA was going woke....... perhaps its 4D chess by the South board and we are getting into the Womens Aleague Ninja league... hahahahahah
 
There is waaaaayyyy too much silence for my liking but this can still go either way... and to be honest it's in our own hands no matter the tournament to prove we have the capacity to be a bigger club than the NPL. Our case remains strongest if we have large enough crowds, no matter the showing on the field in AU champs, if we are fickle enough not to go bc NPL went sideways, then we don't deserve to be anywhere other than lower leagues IMO.

I get all the dissapointment at our standing etc but it's the NPL, not the champions league at the end of the day not like we fighting for the right for promotion anywhere higher... I still feel the results will come in the next few weeks and if we dont play npl finals that's a few less games to burn out/lose players in what is a long season this year for semi pro's anyway

My main issue is if on field we have managed to burn out Mikkola, and next in line will surely be Mells to get sidelined at this rate and Bonada may be rushed back too early leaving us stranded later. and that will be..

Off the field the shortfalls have all been noted by others hete and I concur fully, that's where any change needs to be immediate, the football part will sort itself out when player window opens if the first part is sorted properly (this will also mean a permanent coach is in place ofcourse!)

Perfectly measured response mate but I have to say I AM worried.... watching our club torn to pieces is incredibly sad... NPL is all we have (for now)... Being relegated to VPL1 will be a death siren for us .... it took Preston a decade to bounce back, how long will South take?
 
No I know, was just wondering how he would fit in with the rule
From my understanding, he is an Australian citizen, otherwise he wouldnt have been able to play this year as we had 2 x overseas Visa signings in Bonada and the missing Viking... If he was still PR we wouldnt have been able to bring the giant in the first place...

*Goalkeepers who are not Australian Players but who have pre-existing professional contracts with an NPL Club in place prior to 19 September 2024 for the 2025 season will be permitted to be listed on the NPL First Team Player Roster in 2025. Where this is applicable, the team will be required to nominate one (1) less outfield Visa Player.
 
Marshall, Archibald, Brennan, Bonada and Mikkola all out for Sunday’s must win game.

This is what the football department deserves for not recruiting well and having no ambition going into the most important year of the club’s recent history. Absolute disgrace we are relying on a bunch of kids to get us out of this shitshow in the second half of the season

football department? Did we forget to get one of those?
 
South have had some players walk out on them this week due to underpayment/not being paid.

Not sure which 3-4 players it is but strong source told me today. Wait and see which players are “missing” due to injury

Wow, didn't this happen years ago too? Don't they ever learn?
