AUSTRALIANS: How useless in Melbourne Victory

[G0happy]

I never thought i would say this:

But how useless is Melbourne Victory this season.
They won the A-League last season, finishing 1st and thrashing Adelaide United 6-0 in the Grand Final.
But this year they r struggling 2 find their 5th win of the season.

This is from foxsports.com:

The Victory, dominant champions last season, are now locked in a race to avoid the competition wooden spoon after claiming an early 1-0 lead. They sit just one point above Perth, on equal points with Wellington Phoenix, a pale shadow in performance and ladder position of the side that carved up the A-League last season.

Needing to win to keep their finals hopes alive, the Victory got the early goal they craved after just 11 minutes, when Carlos Hernandez snuck between two Jets defenders to turn in an Adrian Caceres cross.

^^ Thats the shit thing about A-League, they dnt have a 2nd division.
But there might be a 9th team joining the League next season..

Again from foxsports.com:

FOOTBALL is set to trump the Australian Football League in the hotly contested Gold Coast market with club officials launching their proposal to Football Federation Australia for admission into the A-League.

Season five, or 2009, is the most viable option for Gold Coast Galaxy plus a 10th club - the governing body is considering introducing them as early as next season.

Sydney Fc lost also to Perth Glory 4-2, can't believe they lost to this team.

Melbourne, I really loved the way they played last season, very attacking football with lots of goals but this season they are a completely different side to what they used to be. poor leagues are like that, like our own IPL saipa are doing crap this season or foolad got relegated last season.

However, central coast mariners are doing great this season.

btw i still haven't worked out the system of a-league...i know that the top 4' in the league qualifies to semi-finals and they they verse each other or something like that. How do the 2 teams qualify to ACL???

^^ The 2 teams who play in the Grand Final play in the ACL
