Great idea by Vikings, FFT sides should see how a real competition is run.

I notice that FFT are calling for expressions of interest for the FFA Nationals... What a joke, no trials or anything.

Who is the mickey mouse outfit now?

What do the staff do in there at this time of year????

anon 8.55am although I find the first post humorous, I have actually tried to work with FFT with this tournament to gain maximum exposure. The ball is in their court so to speak but early discussions with John Boulous have actually been very pleasant and helpful.

Can we get rid of the finger pointing posts walter if they are not correct? It's actually lergely degrading when people state it is you when it is clearly not. Can we try and not turn this post in to a slagging match and focus on the fact it is an event that will help development of players.

I find it amazing that we bag out a guy that provides aservice to our youth that no other in Tasmania can match.

Why is this?

Corey is easily one of the best youth development people in the state.

Thats what makes him easier to deal with then the competition.

Spot at metro for Corey

Jason Dawes will come through the reserves, surely. He has not proven himself at Premier Reserve level let alone at Premier League level. If Corey's at Knights, he'll be starting.

FFT provide a commercial alternative to Viking. Why would it want to support that?

Anonymous said...

because it is the governing body and it should do what is best for development and not what is best for their pockets

Brian Roberts said...

why is everybody starting so early .

Surely not taking a leaf from K M'S Book

Anonymous said...

is it true that corey is moving north-west for futsal?

Anonymous said...

Sorry to say Brian but I don't think anyone really stops. From Futsal to indoor soccer and cricket no on really stops!!
Plus maybe south shoulf have started early themselves, early in poaching players again like evey season. After all they will have to after they are losing a lot of players!!

I find these posts a bit funny. We have Cory asking Walter to remove blogs from Anom that are not relevant to the story's. But the anom comments regarding cory as the best thing since slice bread, and that he can play in any position of a playing field are actually Anom comments from him. get over yourself cory.

moron at 10.06pm, your wrong again, and spell my name right! I'm getting pissed off with people stating comments are mine that are not!
