Melbourne Victory defender Nick Ansell has discounted comments made by Melbourne City counterpart Ivan Franjic, who said his club is “miles ahead” of every other A-League club.
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Football Show, Ansell says that if City were that far ahead of the rest of the competition, they would be able to boast trophies.
“Yeah, he (Franjic) is probably wrong in that aspect,” Ansell said.
“If they were the most professional, they’d win trophies and they haven’t yet.”

“We’re not really thinking too much about that (City’s form).”
