Eight weeks. We finally have a decision on the tackle that’s been on everybody’s lips. After the third ever Melbourne Derby, dubbed the decider due to the results previously sitting at one a piece, all of the talk was not of the Heart’s fight back from 2-0 down to draw level with their navy neighbours.

Are A-League Players Paid Too Much?
By: CJH | 9 Comments
Player pay is a relative thing. Arguments have always been made, mostly by non-sports fans, that every professional athlete is overpaid.

By: David Manuca | Add Comments
Over the five and a half seasons of the A-League, if you could use one word to sum it all up it would have to be: Unpredictable. That’s how it was in Round 15 of the A-League, when I scored a rather poor 0/5 in my [...]

Heart for five?
First of all, I will apologise for my lengthy absence from The Offside. Exams overtook my life for a few weeks but I'm finally done.

Melbourne is... blank, for now.
I felt like the only person in the stadium with a beaming smile at the end. Yes it ended nil all, but no, it was definitely not a 'bore-draw.'

Week 2 - Dissapointment
7000 disheartened (may I say) supporters witnessed one of Melbourne Heart's worst games to date.
Yes, the score line might not reflect that, but boy oh boy what a demoralizing sight it was.
It's fair to say last week we deserved some credit, the movement was much more fluid and the build-up ...
"Heads up, and keep working."
"We gave it away" cites JVS. Samples of how dominant Heart can be in the attacking-third were scattered through 90 minutes of goals, controversy and bitterness in an entertaining opening match where Jets stole the points in injury time: 3-2.
A healthy attendance of 12,467 saw 7 debuts in the Heart ...
