Official South Melbourne Hellas thread 🔵⚪

Im content with our backline.

Fornaroli + 2 mids would be on my shopping list. I really like them but we can definately upgrade on Pope and Leech. Maybe another wide player with Brennan likely departing. Overall 3-4 players but 1-2 of them have to create a buzz.

As for todays game i suspect Avondale will be too strong regardless of how we approach it. We caught them when they were in patchy form last time but now they're flying. This team has so much quality, some of the mids like Trajcevski and Tevere are absolute technical wizards so we may get a snapshot today of what type of quality we need to bring in for the championship
 
What a joke of a performance! No hunger (or ability to perform) from the fringe players that shouldve wanted to prove a point given this opportunity... Brennan shouldnt get on the park again for South ...

To be fair that team we put in was a joke, lucky it wasnt 10. We have nowhere near the depth to be changing the entire lineup, i expected changes but i didnt think our entire spine would be exposed like that and even more so against that opposition. If you're throwing a game you need to diguise it a bit, thats a bad look for our club. To add to that it continues to highlight the disconnect between the club and the supporters, those who rocked up deserved more.

Have to say after a bright start Nagamatsu has tailed off big time. His touch has been poor last few games hes played.

Crazy to think Avondale had Zinni, Trajcevski, Aguek and Courtney perkins on the bench. Just shows the level we need to get to, them and heidelberg can basically play 2 teams of similar strength whilst we are a pub team.

We will play our best team next week to try beat Oakleigh but i wont be attending. Club needs to get to work to make sure we are ready in October.
 
The only way we will meet the standard thats expected of our club is if we poach Anastasiadis after the championship. The biggest club should have the best coach. No disrespect to Siki but JA football is what lakeside needs. Money talks and i expect a big offer to him. Siki gets the championship but i hope the club doesnt pull the trigger too quickly for 2026.
