I don't agree with it, but there is connection, that's all I'm saying.

If we host the victory I reckon this is a must for the pre match.

Went to Phoenix vs Victory, had these English blokes in front of me constantly going on about how shit the A-League is compared to the Prem, Championship etc. Especially final ball and striking.
Who would have thought that the Phoenix completely parking the bus against probably the most dysfunctional attack in the A-League would do that?
They hated Jake Brimmer the most but had no idea who he was, constantly going about how shit his shots and touch were. Desperately wanted to tell them he came through a Prem Academy but held my tongue.

Nix set the challenge to Victory to break them down and they failed miserably. Another defensive masterclass from the Tarocash Mourinho

Absolutely not.
Don't get me wrong - I love what they do here, and I'm jealous. It's fantastic. I think it's what our club dreamed of with the band - but having a much larger active support probably helps there. And this sort of thing is positive for the leave.
But if we have a say, the 'away' team shouldn't be having time and field space dedicated to firing up their away support. That should be a benefit of being the home team.
But hey, they can put her in the crowd and she can do it there.
Totally agree, it’s cool but not at our Paradise please.

Cool. We will just get the Wyoming kindergarten dancers to do their thing. Will be epic. Can't wait..

I mean, if you want to switch clubs to support Melbourne Victory, I'm sure you can still buy a jersey ;-)

I want us to not be embarrassed by hosting a GF and putting on a sub standard event.
If we can't get something better than our regular dance troupe then why not use something that will pump up the whole crowd and the tv viewers 🤷🏻♂️

Well why don't we just compromise, she gets to play but Marvin crash tackles her 3 bars in and smashes the violin then everybody is hyped

Why on earth would you even consider putting on something that is strongly and clearly attached to MV, at our GF?
It's that simple.
You don't put on a MV hype act at a CCM GF.
Glorious.
Only if Tomato Sauce gets to give the fans the finger afterwards

Oh well.. we can have an empty void, because we have absolutely zero equivalent and zero on field pre-match hype.
Give the Club a chance, potentially the first GF at home so you never know. The Club is pretty good at getting things right the last three or four years. The dark days yes I get your point but maybe not now.

It'll be an APL event so how much organisation will we really be involved in?
Good point, I’m sure they would at least provide a budget but gee that may not be much given the APL’s current finances.

Yeah you'd hope the APL goes hard on the full experience rather than cheap out. But they shit canned the awards night so can't see the GF being an all out event

My point is that just importing in an "act" that has no affiliation with the Mariners or the game is not adequate.
People hated meatloaf at the AFL GF and Billy idol at the NRL because they have no link to the game.
If we had someone that was regularly and visibly linked to CCM then 100% get them in over the violinist. But we don't.

This.
And the APL budget won't even stretch to a local dance troupe. Last year they had Mashd N Kutcher as entertainment but at half time rather than pre game for some reason. This year's half time entertainment will be the further debasement of the Johnny Warren awards by presenting them while everyone is at the toilet / queuing at the beer or food outlets.
Pre game will be the cheap option of a hype man and crowd participation stuff like the dance cams
