Market16 Jul 2035

Terms done: Steven Hall is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Perth Glory waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Melbourne Victory is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market16 Jul 2035

Sydney FC come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Melbourne Victory did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market16 Jul 2035

Jack Riley 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 The request is on a desk at Melbourne Victory, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market16 Jul 2035

Brett Mason 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.

Squad16 Jul 2035

Words at Melbourne Victory training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jorvimar Martina is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad16 Jul 2035

Shae Cahill 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.

Squad16 Jul 2035

Ryan Carter signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ryan Carter commits to Melbourne Victory for another 3 years.

The dugout16 Jul 2035

Olamilekan Adams has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Melbourne Victory will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout16 Jul 2035

Shae Cahill knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Melbourne Victory, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match11 Nov 2034

Melbourne Victory make it 11 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Melbourne Victory have 11 straight wins of it.

The dugout13 Nov 2034

Patrick Edwards says Melbourne Victory went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market13 Nov 2034

Bailey Walsh 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.

Match11 Nov 2034

Melbourne Victory see off Newcastle Jets

Three points for Melbourne Victory, 2‑0 the final word against Newcastle Jets in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Match11 Nov 2034

Nobody wins at Melbourne Victory

8 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Player ratings13 Nov 2034

One of those days for Jorvimar Martina

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.33, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad13 Nov 2034

Harrison Price stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Harrison Price and Melbourne Victory agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad13 Nov 2034

Words at Melbourne Victory training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Noah Botic is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

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.

Market5 Jun 2034

Terms done: Medin Memeti is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Macarthur FC waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Melbourne Victory is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market5 Jun 2034

Auckland City come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Melbourne Victory did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Jack Patterson 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.

Squad5 Jun 2034

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.

Market5 Jun 2034

Eyes on Arion Sulemani again

The phone has started ringing about Arion Sulemani again, and this time the name on the line is Brisbane Roar. Melbourne Victory are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad5 Jun 2034

A step back for Isaac Hughes at Melbourne Victory

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Squad5 Jun 2034

Ryan Carter stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ryan Carter and Melbourne Victory agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad5 Jun 2034

A row about effort at Melbourne Victory

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Noah Botic was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout5 Jun 2034

Max Balard has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Melbourne Victory will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
