Squad26 Nov 2035

A fracture rules Nicholas Bilokapic out for 19 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Melbourne Victory will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings26 Nov 2035

A brace, and Salifou Soumah takes the afternoon — 8.83

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Salifou Soumah provided it, and the 8.83 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match24 Nov 2035

Melbourne Victory make it 5 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Melbourne Victory have 5 straight wins of it.

Medin Memeti puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Melbourne Victory, and it is not being withdrawn.

Cameron Smith: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Melbourne Victory have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Steven Hall is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Melbourne Victory is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad26 Nov 2035

Jed Drew in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Melbourne Victory this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match24 Nov 2035

Melbourne Victory are at home on the road

4 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Match24 Nov 2035

Melbourne Victory find a way past Auckland FC

Auckland FC made Melbourne Victory work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad8 Oct 2035

Nicholas Bilokapic breaks a bone — 68 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 68 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market8 Oct 2035

Caleb Palmer has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Melbourne Victory they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad8 Oct 2035

Tempers go at Melbourne Victory

Jed Drew was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Callum King signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Callum King and Melbourne Victory agree another 3 years.

The dugout8 Oct 2035

Callum King gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

When it matters, Olamilekan Adams plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
