Look, it was their first time doing the Easter Egg Hunt warm-up at P&G’s Easter Carnival - but at least @BerwickCityFC is out in the community 😆

Last night at @BerwickCityFC was nuts! One of the biggest crowds in club history, highest bar and merch takings ever. Great sponsor and crowd activations. Everyone was buzzing! The beauty of football? We lost 😅 Despite being (arguably) dominant. Good for the drama!

These scenes from the Solomon Kings vs. South Melbourne match in the OFC Pro League are wonderful to see. One wonders if there’s an opportunity for the A-League to expand to the Solomon Islands on terms similar to the NRL’s expansion to Papua New Guinea.

Berwick City on the front page of the local newspaper ahead of the first game of the season! Thanks @starweeklysport

Thanks so much for the support of Breaking Barriers! Season 0 of the doco is done, now we move to production of S1 - which kicks off when Berwick kicks off 2026 at home on Friday night (come down!). Join the database to keep tabs on what we’re up to! breakingbarriers.com.au

Good bit of advertising for a State League club! A billboard in the middle of Melbourne overlooking the South Eastern Freeway!

@tas_zaf Here for it! 😅

@MattyWindley The day when South gives MVFC a football lesson for points is edging closer…

@MattyWindley Hey Matt - quick question - have heard this a few times - if a AL franchises gets relegated to state level - club will cease to exist… what does that say about the franchises? NSL clubs dropped back - survived and thrived… think this says it all…

@tas_zaf Great attitude! ❤️

@MattyWindley We can spend the rest of our lives debating the damage that has been done or we can accept it, put our big boy pants on and get into solution mode… Keep up the good work, Matt.

@tas_zaf Thanks Tas 😊 I totally and utterly understand that point of view. I really do. However, glass half full view is it also provides professional protection for any NPL / C’Ship club that makes the jump up too. So it works both ways.

@MattyWindley I think you’re absolutely on the money with the A1-A2 model… sad but true… it’s realistic… the real issue though is that it’s designed to keep AL clubs alive in case of relegation… that in itself is problematic… they really don’t merit the security blanket

POV: you start a State League recruitment drive and think signing former A-League players will be easy 💀😭 Watch the full episode of Breaking Barriers: tinyurl.com/2jekxe5y

A pleasure to spend 20 minutes with my friend Matt Foschini on Episode 5 of the Building Blocks podcast talking about his career journey and why he’s pulling on the boots for @berwickcityfc @gomvfc @football360au youtu.be/o_rp0JUDDis?si…

@tas_zaf … the situation that is before you based on what is on the table now. I firmly believe the A1-A2 model is a compromise system that gets the best of both worlds. You may disagree, that’s fine!

@tas_zaf … the State Leagues and have survived. These clubs are based on many years of history and are institutions in their communities beyond 90 minutes on the pitch. But we shouldn’t just repeat the same course of action just for the sake of it. It’s 2026 now, not 2004. You play …

The final episode of Season 0 of Breaking Barriers is now live! It’s getting real now, with the 2026 campaign starting next Friday night. How’d we go on the recruitment front? Check it out via @football360au here: youtu.be/WWSxLXcVqeU?si…

@MickRandallHS There IS absolutely such thing as too much being too much… And this is one of those cases 😂 I apologize!

Seeing so much @MattyWindley on the timeline lately and not complaining one bit. Love that guy😍
