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 […]
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 […]
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 Last Hurrah of 2012/13
So the last glimmer of hope that Melbourne Heart supporters had of reaching finals has been extinguished by a rather ordinary performance at Suncorp stadium. Outplayed, outscored, outfinished and out-efforted, all of these things are vastly disappointing for a team which promised much over the first few games of the year. They showed patches, they showed […]
The year so far: The Board
B So another year for the board of Melbourne Heart (Scott Munn, Peter Sidwell, John Didilicia and co.) how did we rank their season after promoting a new coach? The Good Back John Aloisi, when he was on a hiding to nothing after losing a raft of good players. Fan Forum proved to be a […]
The reward for guts
Being a co-worker, loved one, house mate or just generally someone who has to come into contact with a Melbourne Heart supporter on a Monday morning must be an agonizing experience, as it would seem that every second week or so, they fly into a rage which is uncontrollable and seemingly follows no discernible pattern. Its obvious […]
vs Sydney
A week is an incredibly long time in Football, 9 days and the week that Melbourne Heart were lucky enough to have, is an eternity. Things went wrong, Lucas Neill didn’t sign and with Patrick Gerhardt out, it seemed a difficult proposition to contain Griffiths and Del Piero, however the faith placed in the rapidly […]
Growing pains (or why the ‘yoof’ argument exhibits a complete and utter lack of understanding of football).
I’ve briefly touched on the ‘yoof’ argument before, it goes something like this. Youth policy down there are heart is going great guns. All there off season signings, Garcia, grella, Coyne, that new dutch player, can’t remember his name and now Neill. All well into thir 30’s. The victory have become the youngest team […]
Why Melbourne Heart must aim to finish 6th (and other useless thoughts)
Another home game, another grand performance which gives us hope that we’ll eventually transfer that into some away form (Not that I’m keeping count but 409 days since a last away win could be deemed somewhat of an abberation since we could well make finals twice in the time this streak has been broken. 409 […]
An midweek surprise.
Two posts in a few days, what could prompt such a rabid outburst of opinion? Well some small, but promising changes upon the Melbourne Heart lineup. I’ve spoken about my thoughts on the lack of depth through our defensive line which hamstrings us. The signing of Jamie Coyne hasn’t been greeted with a hell of […]
