Talk:2014–15 Melbourne Victory FC season

Pre-season and friendlies

I question whether the Melbourne Victory Youth match should be listed here. This list should be for the senior team matches only. Youth pre-season fixtures need to be listed in a separate section, if at all.Footballzs (talk) 03:16, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Yes, IMO it should be. the pre-season matches are anyway a mishmash of players, including seniors and youth, as the coaches experience with seldom used and young players to see who might deserve a chance in the upcoming season. --SuperJew (talk) 08:51, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

This may be true, however this match is specifically listed as being for the youth team and therefore would exclude the senior members of the squad and, consequently, should not be listed as a Melbourne Victory pre-season fixture.203.39.120.162 (talk) 00:42, 29 August 2014 (UTC)Special:Contributions/203.39.120.162|203.39.120.162]] (talk) 00:39, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Even in the regular season, the youth team can have a select number of senior players playing for the youth team for a match. --SuperJew (talk) 06:29, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

This is true however the youth games are not listed along with the senior fixtures in the regular season. They are considered two separate competitions. I think the pre-season fixtures should also be considered as separate.Footballzs (talk) 08:47, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
