Australian Open

Regular readers may have noticed that PM posts have been few and far between lately. Due to my work at Melbourne Park, spare time to write has been hard to come by lately. Apologies. PM will be up and running again soon enough.

Delay

Due to Christmas related mishaps and various shenanigans, there will be a delay for all Round 11 Analysis. Apologies for the inconvenience, expect Brisbane vs Central Coast by Thursday, Friday at the latest.

It has been extremely heartening to see that PM has consistently reached 150 page views per day, even without new articles. I'd like to thank all of you for your support and encouragement.

Have a very Merry (and safe) Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Demographics

PM Readers may have noticed a few new polls on the sidebar. They're just an attempt to gauge the demographics of PM's readership, such as age, gender, frequency of visits etc. I would just like to reassure you that all information voluntarily submitted is completely confidential - there is simply no way for the poll data to be accessed beyond clicking on "View Results". All data submitted is much appreciated.

Delay

Just a note for PM Readers, there is going to be a delay for all analysis of Round 9 this week. Brisbane v Sydney is a work in progress, hopefully there'll be time for the Victory v Galaxy friendly, and its unlikely but possible that Heart v Wellington will make an appearance. Earliest anything will be completed and posted will probably be Wednesday/Thursday. 

Apologies for the inconvenience.

The Big One-oh-oh-oh-oh.

A couple of days ago, Pass and Move reached the magic landmark of 10,000 hits. This would be an appropriate time for some introspection.

Format Changes

PM has recently changed to a wider format, which displays more features, but may disadvantage readers with narrow screens. Indicate your approval/disapproval in the "Reactions" of this post, and PM may revert to the narrower width with only one sidebar.

Notice for Perth and Central Coast

Note to all Perth and Central Coast fans, few of whom ever visit this site.

PM hasn't devoted much coverage to either club since Round 1, but rest assurred, there are 'developments' behind the scenes for both the Mariners and the Glory.

Expect an analysis of the general systems/formations/shapes employed by Arnold and Ferguson, coming soon.  Conveniently enough, the two clubs are meeting in Gosford in Round 4, so in all probability, PM will cover that match, if there is demand for it.

If anyone is REALLY keen for a Round 3 Newcastle v Central Coast Analysis, speak up now (in the comments) or forever hold your peace.

Thanks for your support

LATER ADDITION;
The Round 3 Match Analysis for Adelaide and Sydney will be 'cancelled'. I'll post it anyway for the match diagram, but it should be regarded as incomplete.

Notice Round 3 Analysis

Just a note for interested readers on Round 3 Analysis; PM is planning on eventually compiling a Match Analysis on both the Melbourne Derby and Sydney v Brisbane, and we'll try Central Coast v Newcastle but no guarantees. We'd like to advise that, due to troublesome circumstances, these will probably be posted in the coming days, rather than this weekend.

Twitter

Actually useful. Who'd have thunk it?

Just want to say thanks to John Didulica, Francis Awartefe and Brendan Schwab for the recommend. Your support is much appreciated.

Must say, PM isn't really active on Twitter, though we'll try to be. Our attempts at live commentary have failed, largely due to being too busy debating whether a bucket of chips at Etihad is worth more than $5. Conclusion; we'd rather go hungry.

Shout Out

Just wanted to convey PM's gratitude to Moss and Faithful. Had a gander at mvc.net, thanks for spreading the word. We'll try to tone down the pompousness.

As for black backgrounds being so-2004; Black is ALWAYS sexy. Plus it was a homage to ZM, which is Apple white. So there.

LATER ADDITION: PM have covered every match of Round 1. It's unlikely subsequent rounds will be as extensively covered, we just wanted a baseline of comparison. That's where our 'most exciting match' polls come in - we'll be using those as a guideline for which games receive a full Match Analysis, and which are given low priority.

PM came so close to reaching the mythical 200 page views in one day mark. On the 13th, we received 197. Today, we're already on 130. Fingers crossed.

LATER ADDITION: Well thanks to all PM readers, particularly the new contingent from mvc.net. Thanks to you, PM have hit 234 page views in a day. Adelaide v Victory match report is coming, probably some time tomorrow afternoon. Again, we'll ask for your patience and understanding.

It's the new millennium

We'd like to announce that Pass and Move have just crossed the 2,000th page view point, which means PM has doubled the amount of hits in half the time it took to get to 1,000.


We'd also like to thank all those readers who have contributed vital feedback to PM, in the form of much appreciated comments, reactions under posts, and voting in our sidebar polls (we have quite a few so scroll down, and the 'most exciting match' polls will be used to determine which games receive a full Match Analysis and which ones are given lower priority, so vote if you want your club's matches analysed).

We'd also like to draw attention to the 'which club do you support poll' - so far Sydney FC is kicking ass and taking names, Adelaide and Perth are yet to get on the scoresheet, while Victory, with the largest fanbase in Australia, has only 1 vote, and as for the Premiership poll - predictably enough the Roar is loudest. Thank you for your participation, and please help spread the word about Pass and Move. You can find PM on Twitter or on The Roar Opinion Website, but your best bet is actually right here.

We're going to try to get a Match Analysis or at least a HT Impressions on the Round 1 Adelaide v Perth match, but no guarantees. Expect a Round 1 Review and a Round 2 Preview, but we all have other things to attend to, so we'll ask for our readers' patience and understanding.

PM would like to gauge interest in our readers towards contributing articles about their favoured clubs. If you're a rabid fan with a bone to pick, or just a casual observer with an interesting idea, come forth and we'll look at accommodating you. Articles about the match-day experience will be especially welcome.

Pass and Move on The Roar website

For those readers who don't know, Pass and Move have an account with The Roar, which is a sports opinion website. Due to restrictions on formatting and pictures, PM is not able to submit match reports, but we do occassionally send in opinion pieces to drum up some publicity.

One thousand served - internal review of PM

Pass and Move have been up and running for a month now. In that month, we've posted 41 articles about the Socceroos and the A-League, and now, we've passed the 1000th page view mark.


I'd like to thank all of our readers for their invaluable support. Hopefully you've all responded positively to what PM have had to say. Pass and Move's mandate has been, from the very beginning, to elevate the understanding and stimulate debate about the tactical side of football in Australia, and with the imminent launch of A-League Season 7, PM believe we are about to witness the highest standard of football ever seen in the Lucky Country.
