[Hello Sailor]

Maybe some sound bites from the pods during the dark ages?

I still remember the owner[?] saying that they would search the world for a great replacement manager, and surprise surprise surprise, Tony Walmsley was found. What a con

This is a great question and may be worthy of a podcast of its own! Perhaps an off season special where Shaun and I go on a brewery tour of the coast in search of the Coast’s Best Brew ?

World wide search vibes when you end up back at Bay Rd anyway.

Question for another pod?
When did you think was the point when we as a club, were turning it around on the pitch?

For me it was the game against Western when Alou scored 2 goals after we were down 2-1, winning it 3-2. In the past once we were down a goal we were gone, we showed fight that game and a "Won't back down" attitude and that for me was our turning point.

Also, thoughts about the song "Wont Back Down" got chills at the GF when the crowd were singing it at full time? Could this become our anthem like Liverpools YNWA? Maybe we could change "Hey baby" to "Hey Coasties?"

I don’t know if there was a ‘point’, or if I was desensitised to too many false-dawns through 2016-20. There’d be games or a series of games where I’d think “We’re on the way back” only for it to fall in a heap before the seasons’ end.

Qualifying for back to back finals series might have been the point where I thought “At least we’re consistently decent rather than consistently shit”, but the point where I thought the club had really turned it around and come good once more?

Not one moment, one match I can think of. This season just gone, the 4-1 game at home against Brisbane and the 1-1 draw at home with City were both matches I went away thinking “They can play top shelf football and tear teams up/ go toe to toe with the best teams on their day, we could be there on GF day”.

It wasn’t really until I looked at form over the last two months leading into the GF that I thought “We’ve got the upper hand mentally, this comp is ours for the taking”. Even had we lost to City, I couldn’t see it being by more than 2 goals. If we lost the GF, I knew it would be gallant at least.

Which made what manifested that Saturday night in Parramatta feel like crossing into an alternate dimension.

I remember years ago seeing a domestic league final where the favourites had gone something like 35 games unbeaten, yet the underdog team got to a 2-0 lead and almost caused one hell of an upset. But the favourites switched on, drew the match late and won on penalties. I thought what a pity it was, because the losing side almost pulled off one of the biggest feel-good underdog stories not just in Aussie football, but Aussie sports history.

The 6-1 win over the richest club in the league, who won the Premiership by double digits, felt like the richly deserved manifestation of that underdog hypothetical I didn’t get to see all those years back. And best of all, my team were the ones who made it happen. That night will be legendary for decades to come, not just at this club, but in this league, indeed Aussie sports folklore.

I thought we were a chance that Melbourne City 1 all draw which in my view was one of the best games i have seen-in the A-league.. We had so many chances but so did they and wasnt Vuka exceptional that night and he continued that form the rest of the year. They seemed to build as a team every game thereafter.

There were a lot of ups and downs during the year but that loss to Victory I thought we couldn’t win after that performance but just goes to show in a final series league you do enough during the year to put yourself in a good qualifying position and hit a purple patch of form at the end and Wallah what a finish to the year.

Fun fact, from that Victory loss onwards we averaged 3.2 goals per game and conceding 0.75, never conceding 2 goals again

lol, your statement actually works if you're Arabic

"Wallah what a finish to the year."

Urban Dictionary: wallah

An Arabic word that means "I swear to God." or I swear to Allah.
