Only an idiot of a football fan would've written them off at the kick-off. Just watch any English cup competition to see the part-time footballers bringing down the stars. No matter the teams whether real madrid vs south hobart or south hobart vs hobart zebras the chances of either team winning is equal. i believe if some of the south hobart players could earn enough as footballers they would give melbourne a challenge. No matter what we say tasmanian football won't be on a level playing field with the rest of australia for a considerable amount of time. While they showed class and good attacking football at times they weren't embarrassed in any way however hobart olympic losing to their youth team is embarrassing.

South melbourne would probably get similar results against a victorian or nsw 4th div team. The level even in the 90s would not render similar results. Guys like Chris Hey know the game so I wouldn't blame him. There must be something wrong with the set up. 2 years ago I argued that a state league must be set up. I am currently the senior coordinator at Byron Bay fc, you may laugh at the name but we playred gold coast united in a friendly last year and lost 5-1, If I'm being realistic about it there could have been more goals scored by both teams. I think the level up here has dropped somewhat but I would also that the level is at least on par with Tasmania. This shouldn't be the case a provincial league being on par with a state league. I think by breaking away from state football and having a north-south situation you have created a rod for your own back.madmcglonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283792431948878507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-50391135321580812622011-01-17T19:23:30.529+11:002011-01-17T19:23:30.529+11:00I have been told on the highest authority that a t...I have been told on the highest authority that a true estimate is1000 people at the grounds based on the stands and crowds on the sidelines (plus a quick head count while in the bar!)<br /><br />Regardless of numbers how wonderful to have a visiting team of the quality of South Melbourne. <br />I was proud of the turn out and the entire process and game.

I'm suggesting it work along the same lines as the Tassie Devils VFL model with home and away games. Yes, it would require extra funding to assist all teams to travel but if FFA backs it it can happen. After all FFA has an responsibility to develop the game nationally and this arrangement does that in Tassie at a reasonable cost. <br /><br />Still can't see how Sth could go it alone as it simply doesnt have the financial resources. To my mind it needs to be under the auspices of FFT/FFA and without alignment to any particular club.<br /><br />I'd be interested in any other views.the futurenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-60740503522296152762011-01-17T18:04:15.183+11:002011-01-17T18:04:15.183+11:00Hi Paul, I was absolutely delighted to meet you an...Hi Paul, I was absolutely delighted to meet you and your friends (George, Con and George) at last.
