A-League A-Leagues Men and Women 2023/24 Off Season Thread

This is going to ruffle some feathers, and it's really disappointing that it's happened but the behaviour in that away bay by Victory fans the last few games has been nothing short of horrendous so I understand why they've done it.

You only have to look at the first example - where the players are running over to JOIN IN - effectively condoning their fan’s behaviour. Further to that, it took a player being assaulted before the club realised they have a major problem with their fans.

I fully understand, and support, AVM banning Victory supporters. I hope other venues follow suit.

Unless I am misunderstanding, it looks like they may have back flipped.

Yeah I just saw that too, what a cluster *

Too late, all the bad scenes have already made the news again for nothing.
So many morons everywhere... the stadium, the "fans", the APL, the media...

City have been handed the easiest ACL group of any Australian team I can remember. Shouldn’t just escape the group, they should do it easily.

Melbourne Victory have signed Japanese forward, Kurea Okino, for the 2023-2024 season.



She actually played for the senior women's team of my daughter's junior team, Boroondara-Casey. Was banging them in at NPLW level; 31 goals so far this season.

Story goes that Okino sent a video of her play in Japan to clubs in Australia to try to get signed to an NPLW team and then make the jump to the A-League Women's competition. Boroondara-Casey signed her on the basis of her video.
