With Tom Pondeljak out through injury Mate Dugandzic got the nod for his debut start for the club, while guest player Sutee Suksomkit replaced Fabiano as Archie’s partner in crime. He proved the inspiration as Melbourne defeated Adeliade for the eighth consecutive time.

EnergyAustralia Stadium, Newcastle
Melbourne went into this match failing to win at EnergyAustralia Stadium since 2006 and Newcastle were on a 5 match winless streak. A crowd of just over 6,000 witness Labinot Haliti score his second goal of the season against Melbourne to open the scoring. Elrich played him through with a nice ball from right midfield, Haliti spotted Moss coming off his line and pounced, he slotted it into the net coolly for the first goal. Newcastle dominated the first half and had several golden opportunities against a lackluster Victory defence, which almost conceded another goal through confusion. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m not going to write about the match highlights, I think I might just stick to a postmortem, mainly do to the fact that other than Sydney’s 3 goals in that 5 minute period there was nothing else really to note as a positive for the game. For all the Sydney fans goals below. Read the rest of this entry »

With only 2 more sleeps until the biggest match on the A-League calendar, that is Melbourne Vs. Sydney, which takes place on Friday night, I thought I would look back into the past and show a couple of classic match between these big rival’s.
The first match is ancient. Back when Dwight Yorke was plying his trade for the Sky Blue’s, Melbourne stilled played in the old Olympic Park and Kevin Muscat and Archie Thompson had hair!
Yes, I am of course talking about Melbourne’s 5-0 demolition of Sydney at Olympic Park. Archie and Kev both scored braces while Richard Kitzbichler.

I thought I’d keep you guys up to date with the Melbourne Youth team and the Woman’s team.
MV Woman 
The girl’s played in the curtain raiser to the Melbourne Vs. Brisbane match against Perth. Unlike there male counterparts the Melbourne female team opened up there season with an impressive win. Young defender Enza Barilla opened up the scoring when she slotted the ball into the bottom left corner in the 34th minute. Melbourne’s advantage was doubled when Vedrana Popovic won the ball in Midfield before playing a neat one-two with Kurulay and successfully crossing the ball to Canadian striker Katie Thorlakson who made no mistake and easily finished the move.

The last time these teams met was a month and a half ago and they played out the game of the season to date with a pulsating 3-3 draw, with Hernandez scoring a brilliant free kick to bring Melbourne into the contest after the Roar had got out to a 3-1 lead by half time. This match promised to be an entertaining affair, it was at times but at others it was quiet stagnate. (Highlights here)
Adrian Leijer
Melbourne Victory: 2(Ney Fabiano 3, Leijer 72)
Brisbane Roar: 1 (Reinaldo 11)

This is a picture taken of a banner made by some of the Melbourne boys on the way trip in Adelaide.

Everyone found it quiet amusing, everyone accept for Hindmarsh security. They confiscated the banner as they deemed it to be offensive to the sponsor, our argument that if anything it endorsed the sponsor fell on deaf ears. Read the rest of this entry »

By: Marcus | 2 Comments
Melbourne have signed Thai International Sutee Suksomkit.
Player Info
Full name: Sutee Suksomkit
Date of birth: June 5, 1980 (1980-06-05) (age 29)
Place of birth: Chaiyaphum, Thailand
Height: 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in)
Playing position: Striker, Attacking Midfielder, Left winger
Sutee joins The Victory from Singaporean club Tampines Rovers FC as a guest player for 3 months.
He has been capped for Thailand 60 times and has scored on 16 occasions, in 2003 he was sent to train with Russian English big boys CSKA Chelsea. He is a left footer that has some power and technique, it will be interesting to see how this move turns out, it rules out any chance of us signing Mark Viduka.
He terrorses the defence but misses. On his second attempt he calmling strikes it past the keeper.
Sutee his a nice free kick after Vietnam put on a clinic in time wasting.
