"A-League Women elimination semi-final delivered drama, but few were in attendance"

The game could have been played at a ground more accessible to fans, teams should have had far more publicity about the game, there could have been shuttle buses linking to the CBD or local transport, terrestrial TV availability... so many options.

Instead, they got an attendance of under 800 people. For an absolute banger of a game.

Future GK for the #Matildas, surely. Casey Dumont just near unstoppable in #MCYvMVC #ALeagueWomens, if there was ever a game won by a single player.

And a moving picture from #MelbDerby #MCYVMVC

From my point of view at #MelbDerby #MCYVMVC on Saturday 17 December 2022.

“There is no possible excuse for players, cameramen, referees coming to work and not being safe. There’s no place at our club. No place in the game, no place in the league for that sort of behaviour.”

Caroline Carnegie, Melbourne Victory's Managing Director.

It's hard to say what penalties the Victory may face. They have a record of ugly incidents, of which this is the latest and worst.

Based on the scenes at #MCYvMVC, #MVC fans should be banned from attending any #ALeague finals matches for at least three years. It seems the decision to go to Sydney for the GF by the #APL was justified.

Embarrassed to be a Melbourne Victory fan tonight. A walk-out or walk-away-to-another-bay protest was the best option, and proven in multiple games this weekend already. The APL made an awful decision, and the people at aami park (not fans) made an even worse one. Embarrassing, enraging, unnecessary and unacceptable. Throwing flares and assaulting players was never an option, and should never have happened. #MelbourneVictory #MCYVMVC #football #soccer #aleaguemen #alm

The World Cup isn’t finished yet, but we’re done talking about all the goodwill from the Socceroos’ success. #MCYvMVC

I'm sorry but rule #1 of players not inciting a riot at derbys is always do not engage and glover engaged. is it his fault? no. it is always those who choose to commit criminal acts and let mob mentality take over. but, it's also a bit more than the protest that set off the fans.

The game has officially been abandoned.

There is no room for violence.

Absolutely unacceptable ugly scenes at 20 minutes at the Melbourne Derby. Glover got smashed by a bin by some fuckwit. Terrible. Game paused. As if Aus football couldn’t get any worse rn #MCYvMVC

Disgraceful behaviour from the Vuck morons. Suspend the Club, ban those individuals for life, abandon the match, award the points to #MCY. #MelbDerby #MCYvMVC

City goalkeeper Tom Glover is assaulted with a bin as fans invade the pitch. What happened to just walking out? #MelbDerby

Just when you think Football fans are being a force, making a stand, having an impact... some supporters have to be f'wits and go and do this crap...

I love the game, but seriously, between the deaf APL admin and some fans, hard to support it at times :-(
