Contrary to other comments, I thought Victory were relatively decent in their last two games. They had a 5:3 against Jets and the 1:1 against the Reds that were playing well but had a player sent off.

Yup, MV looking kinda hot. If they hadn't received a red card against Adelaide they would have won as they were dominating. It'll be interesting to see how we attack Melbourne because they seemed to be completely all over Adelaide who themselves are a very scary attacking unit.
Melbourne Victory striker Bruno Fornaroli has escaped sanction after being issued with a show cause notice by the independent match review panel after it was determined the incident didn't meet their threshold for their involvement.

Remember when Berisha got off kicking out at Durante because he claimed Durante was choaking him, despite all the video showing he was just trying to give Berisha a hand up and was nowhere near Berishas throat?

No changes. A picture of consistency in that regard so far this season. Big congratulations to Kosta too - great servant to the game in the country and this league as well. Hopefully taking home the full 3 points tonight to celebrate!
Conchie & van Hattum the ones to miss out on matchday squad of the original 20 named. Gotta be a little worried for OVH if the academy lads are still getting a shout over him. Unless he's still coming back to full fitness after his injury layoff...
OVH probably isn't young and sexy enough anymore. The Nix are desperate to have their own Irankunda and sell him for big bucks. Players OVH's age & quality are a dime a dozen.
Semi joking aside. I've never seen anything from OVH in the A-League that made me want to see more of him or made me think he'd ever develop into starting A-League quality.

To be fair we have a few players under Uffie that looked average that are performing under Italiano
