«Big V»
The proof came in the 2006–07 grand final. Archie Thompson scored five in a 6–0 win over Adelaide United — a result that handed Melbourne Victory its first championship and left a grudge that people in both cities still call the Original Rivalry.
Kevin Muscat is the other name that runs through the club.
The ground took a while to settle.
Four championships, three premierships and two Australia Cups sit on the record, the most recent cup in 2021. The Tony Popovic years brought the 2022–23 premiership but no championship, and he left in 2024. Continental football has been thinner: the round of 16 in the AFC Champions League in 2016 and again in 2020, and no further.
What the club has now is the Melbourne derby against Melbourne City, the Big Blue with Sydney FC, and a first championship since 2018 still to chase.
