A new dawn
Although there’s a pretty strong argument to be made that its already about noon by the time this dawn came. John Aloisi has been sacked, while this isn’t an overly big surprise in itself, his figures can now be looked at fairly starkly and they don’t make for pretty reading. His record sits within that of Mehmet […]
Pass Marks: John Aloisi
Much like was done at the end of last year, AHAH, will be looking at what John Aloisi needs to achieve this year to appease the Melbourne Heart faithful, now while a pass-mark isn’t the greatest achievement that a coach should aspire too, its certainly a good guide of what the majority of the Melbourne […]
Let’s get this show on the road
Preseason is a torturous thing, it’ll end up being around 80 days from the first ball kicked in Shepparton to the first tackle made in anger in the derby, from a personel point of view, it looks to have been a largely positive off-season, John van’t Schip has come back on board as somewhat of […]
Coping with loss
For anyone whose ever supported a football club which has had little success in terms of silverware, there are times when you think that life is bitterly unfair, Melbourne Heart supporters are currently undergoing a particularly rough trot. For those of you unaware, Orlando Engelaar has been officially diagnosed with a fractured leg, our first […]
The final touches.
As we edge closer to the start of the season, with pre-season games starting to become a regular thing, Melbourne Heart has nearly completed its full squad, with very handy experience added, something that was woefully absent in last season, especially in the run home. Rob Wielart and Harry Kewell will add much needed grit […]
A change in direction
Melbourne Heart now have four extra names to be added, Iain Ramsay, Massimo Murdocca, Harry Kewell and Rob Wielaert, aged 25, 28, 34 and 34 they’re definitely being added to be more experienced players, with only Ramsay likely to show any major improvement in his game from now on, so should Melbourne Heart despair at […]
WEEKLY WRAP – 01/06/2013
So players have begun to come off contract so there’s been an inevitable list of players that Melbourne Heart have been linked with, Harry Kewell, Grant Holt and Jiri Jarosik. Firstly and probably most surprisingly, Melbourne Heart had a bid rejected for want-away journeyman Grant Holt, initially unable to meet the valuation of Norwich, the deal might not […]
Weekly Wrap – 25/05/2013
Given its a long off-season (or an off season at all) I thought I’d try to give weekly updates of how Melbourne Heart is doing in the press. Now while this might not be all of the articles that Melbourne Heart appears in during the week, it should give you a nice idea of what […]
Passing the ball.
So after getting distracted with not nearly as interesting, real life work, I’m back to provide a look at Melbourne Heart’s passing statistics for this year (thanks go to the helpful people over at the Foxsportsstats.com.au website which has a ridiculously comprehensive database for every game played this year). Passing can be broadly broken down […]
The statistical importance of Andrew Redmayne.
Now while the title might make you fall asleep, it’d be great if you could stay with me. Melbourne Heart took the unusual step of replacing their incumbent keeper during the middle of the season, replacing Clint Bolton with Andrew Redmayne, with the general consensus being that Redmayne, by the end of the season had […]
