MELBOURNE HEART – AORTA MAKE THE FINALS…..

Just scouring the papers for the cardio-literary gems (like the gem of a headline to this blog..sorry) from sub-editors around the country regarding Melbourne Heart’s debut A-League loss to Central Coast Mariners.

I am a little underwhelmed to be honest. There was no real gay abandon. I thought they would be trotting out the same clever stuff we have seen in the lead up to Melbourne Heart’s debut.

Here’s a sample after Melbourne Heart’s loss to the Mariners:

Bigpond.com – “Bad Heart starter”

Herald Sun – “They’re all Heart”

The Age – “Mariners steel breaks Heart” – not a bad double zinger from The Age

Theworldgame.com.au – “Mariners provide Heart break”

Brisbane Times – “Opening match a real Heart Breaker”

Central Coast Mariners website: “Mariners full of Heart”

I think our news organisations owe it to themselves to seize the opportunity and take it to next level and I am talking about headlines with gay abandon.

Here are my favourites though and congratulations to the hard working subbies of both organisations.  They decided that the cardio metaphor was a little obvious and didn’t let us down with a sea-faring one – good work!!!!

FourFourTwo – “Mariners sink Schip” – that is a beauty!

SMH: “Mariners sail away with points against Heart”

I can’t wait for the headlines when Heart win a game:

I'd like to provide a few now……hope you don't mind?

HEART DOESN’T SCHIP A BEAT

HEART PUMPING

HEART BY-PASS GOLD COAST

HEART ATTACK

MELBOURNE SHOWS HEART

VICTORY FOR HEART – (that’s if they win the local derby)

HEART SHOWS TICKER – (not the mascot, that would be obscene)

I could go on…..

Have you got any zingers?  Let us know.
