New coach, same players, same performance, or different? - Round 8, Melbourne Knights vs South Melbourne

Last time they met
Round 21, 2007, at Knights Stadium

Melbourne Knights 0 South Melbourne 2

In a tight and tense struggle, South rode its fair share of luck, including the Knights' Mate Dugandzic missing from point blank range, to register a gritty but ultimately well deserved 2-0 win. Goals from Billy Natsioulas and Nathan Caldwell within 5 minutes of each other sunk the home sides hopes, and saw Hellas win once again on its old rivals turf.

Preview
Croatia doing alright. Hellas not doing too good. But Croatia not have good record against Hellas. Hellas have good record against Croatia, and good record at Croatia ground. Not lose game there since start of stupid, pointless, VPL journey, including semi-final against Altona Magic in 2006. Will new coach make difference for Hellas? Maybe yes, maybe not. Only one way to find out, go play game and see. Everyone should support Hellas in this big game. Not go watch Blues and Magpies. Watch Hellas beat farken Croatia, like always (except for that stupid time in the mid 1990s when they had that wretchedly and awfully talented team). Forget the piponi for one day, come watch the soccer. Hellas new coach, he fix team. Has stupid texta on his face, under his mouth, but that is the modern style. I think silly, but no matter, if he get results, is enough. South win 4-1 or 4-0, you see. I tell you now, Hellas start playing good soccer from here, win cup, you see.
