The more said the better?

I’m not usually in the business of nitpicking decisions, I’m all about helpful constructive criticism, but that is not to say that I don’t recognise that there is a time when someone needs a rocket put under them. Given the game that unfolded yesterday, I think its time to put yesterdays decisions under the microscope. Not acceptable […]

Melbourne Heart – State League Two.

Melbourne Heart has arguably enjoyed its best ever week of announcements coming into the pivotal match against West Sydney this weekend. Vince Grella announced as fit.

Then the signing began to roll in […]
