I wasn’t at that game, but I know that Melbourne Victory Active did this at the Grand Final against City as well. (And at that game ir was obvious where it came from) ---

Can’t have all the teams from NSW and ACT! 😁 But I agree, no South Melbourne unless they get rid of the Hellas label. Don’t need ethnic names on teams. I remember my first trip to North Sydney oval when I first arrived in Australia and lived in Sydney. I went with an English guy also into football, we were greeted by a not too friendly crowd of Polish followers of North Sydney Polonia. Next visit there was to watch the North Sydney Bears and I gave up on football (soccer) in Australia until the A-League and Victory. ---

UPSET IN SERIE A! Venezia has 0 points through 6 matchdays this season, dead last in the leaderboard. But then they hosted Napoli and, out of nowhere, bagged 3 home. This shot was all that was needed. The away side, meanwhile, made 19 off-target shots and missed a penalty. The ball boys worked harder than them. ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/a/6/4/a642244b3dfc9b954bbce5a4debc3157b6b7e94c.jpeg) Meanwhile… I mean, we got flying cars now.
