As a local for over 35 years, I have a problem with this page being headed Mooroolbark FC, with the FC obviously meant to stand for Football Club. I have never heard the club referred to as a football club, even by members of the club. Football is the name of the local Australian Rules Football game in this part of Australia. It's an unneessary, pretentious, unrealistic, confusing and dishonest nonsense to use the FC label for this organisation. There IS a Mooroolbark Football Club (with which I have absolutely nothing to do) which plays Australian football. It makes no sense for this article to use that term when locally it means something entirely different.

The club's own website - www.thebarkers.com.au - appears to refer only to Mooroolbark Soccer Club, not Mooroolbark FC.Roblowe48 (talk) 07:03, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
