But when we're talking about one match, one evening...
Lachie AvilHOST
In terms of significance, maybe it's the Melbourne Derby of 2022.
Lachie AvilHOST
I'm
Matt OlsenHOST
going to bring you back to what Simon Hill said in his autobiography.

Matt WindleyHOST
then subjectively, if you are thinking about who we are trying to convince to make this happen, at the end of the day, the major stakeholders that we need to convince to make an A1, A2 happen are people like the current A-League clubs, nay, the APL board, and broadcasters slash the media market, and then obviously investors.
Matt WindleyHOST
A big catch cry, a big fear that you will hear from some or all of those groups is you can't have a world where we don't have a Melbourne Derby and a Sydney Derby.
Matt WindleyHOST
So what if they're all in separate divisions and you lose those? You can't have an A-League landscape that doesn't have a team in Brisbane or a team in Perth or a team in Adelaide.
Matt WindleyHOST
What
DosHOST
Oh, really? Yeah.
DosHOST
I missed the Melbourne Derby.
DosHOST
I'm not going to say who I saw.
DosHOST
Go on.
DosHOST
And I said to you like two days ago, Aussie rules is, if not worse, there's people drinking in the stands, getting into fights, things like that.
DosHOST
And I love my AFL, but I just get really disappointed when you rock up to the A-League Grand Final.
DosHOST
It was the first ever Melbourne Derby A-League Grand Final a couple of years ago.
DosHOST
They're not talking about what an awesome thing this is for the city.
MoppaHOST
We want the jeopardy.
MoppaHOST
Who's made the Australian Cup? That's Jeopardy, yeah? Massive stakes, Asia, two Melbourne Derby teams.
MoppaHOST
That's what gets people excited.
MoppaHOST
That's where football lands.
6 MINS LATER
ChiefHOST
I think it's already probably a no-brainer to get them into the competition.
ChiefHOST
But I think that what are we doing if we're not going to be introducing South Melbourne into the A-League based on that? Because...
ChiefHOST
If you were to introduce them straight away, that becomes a bigger Melbourne Derby than the Victory versus City Derby at the moment, in my eyes.
ChiefHOST
So you're making it very easy for yourself by just putting this club in.
David WeinerHOST
We've got two games against the SLSL.
David WeinerHOST
We've got the hopefully very close to sold-out Melbourne Derby of a lifetime, the biggest Melbourne Derby in the history of the world with South Melbourne playing Melbourne Victory in the Australian Cup Final on October 10.
David WeinerHOST
A week later that momentum can snowball into hopefully a really great Sydney Derby crowd as the Australian Championship also begins in that weekend as well as the A-League Women.
David WeinerHOST
The domestic season will be up and running and heaving with what we know will be great football on the park which can often mitigate for the environment around the park.
Matt WindleyHOST
You know, you had the Sydney Derby at the Olympic Stadium, which we all knew was going to be a record crowd and ultimately delivered 60-odd thousand.
Matt WindleyHOST
You had Melbourne Derby semi-final at Docklands, which sold out in 2015.
Matt WindleyHOST
You had Tim Cahill's first game for City, where he, again, probably magnified that.
Matt WindleyHOST
by scoring that stupid goal, you know, from halfway or close to.
