You must admire his loyalty as he would start in any of the NPL teams here.<br />Young Joffery and Jono at Olympia and young Sam at South are Youth products of Eagles so they must be doing something right just like Beachside , flying under the radarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-64085375279109416402019-07-25T19:51:17.979+10:002019-07-25T19:51:17.979+10:00Anon 4.11pm.

So what is your point?<br />Some of those getting paid , that I presume you refer to , are very very lucky they are being paid. Some don't deserve to be paid anything at all. <br />If they are happy there getting smashed every now and then ,as they have done and losing more games than they win , leave them there. <br />There aren't very many of them though , I am guessing.

Has the club tried contacting some of these <br />people who have left ?<br />The attitude at present seems to be “ stuff then they left”<br />I may be wrong but I doubt it. <br />Nothing wrong with swallowing a little pride and making contact with some <br />of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-27569551588106577472019-07-25T11:35:56.116+10:002019-07-25T11:35:56.116+10:00Dave is a good guy, he coaches the U16's at th...Dave is a good guy, he coaches the U16's at the club as well as the Senior team, his openness and honesty should be applauded and he is pleading with the club to take the right direction and try to build a future with local talent, and not take quick fixes every year with multiple imports, which erodes the pathway of any youngsters and limits their opportunity. It is just a shame that most of the elite junior talent they had in past couple of years have now moved on and are happy at their new homes.Getting them back to Zebras will be challenging!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-23985039099766364652019-07-24T15:04:59.713+10:002019-07-24T15:04:59.713+10:0011:58 You are really bitter keep shooting away and...11:58 You are really bitter keep shooting away and smile at least you get paid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-58780134026486343412019-07-24T11:58:48.654+10:002019-07-24T11:58:48.654+10:00If Devonport is the bully team then the zebras are...If Devonport is the bully team then the zebras are the thug team.

It's a big club but hasn't the winning mentality due to the last decade being spent underachieving. <br /><br />When you look at the playing list, its pretty bare.

No need to start getting personal.<br />Sorry if my earlier comment offended, I don’t know or care about the two players (Pace/Fitzgerald) mentioned. They were mealy pawns to my post as I disagreed with that particular part of the main blog story. I purely wanted to outline what I believed to be a bit of FAKE NEWS or at least (don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story) moment. Also to outline what I saw on TV, that drove the young footballer to act that way. What’s your 2 players excuses? The difference between Hard football and dullard football perhaps? ( Dullard means stupid or dumb just in case ) I will say one thing you were right the two players mentioned were ok, kept the game interesting.<br />Maybe I should have left out the shit rugby tackle bit, sorry, was a bit harsh but we were playing football and let’s face it, it was a bit funny but still shit! Also the bit about getting smoked. Bit harsh? O'well sometimes the actual facts make the best reading. <br />Good Luck Next week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-63356339027461053692019-07-23T18:27:47.755+10:002019-07-23T18:27:47.755+10:00A VAR operating in Tasmania ?

They can’t get it right in a professional league,<br />how the hell will the muppets down here do it? That is not a crack at <br />Tony Peart either. How about we fix everything that needs to be fixed and then the lights .<br />I could be wrong but I doubt David was serious about VAR. <br />it could have been a comment to emphasize his frustration<br />with referreeing. To expect VAR is a little far fetched at present.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-79146883856280025372019-07-23T16:24:02.280+10:002019-07-23T16:24:02.280+10:00"We don’t let them bully us and that’s why th..."We don’t let them bully us and that’s why they struggle against us"<br /><br />That and the 11 men you park in your own halfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-18530404253482652972019-07-23T14:44:24.788+10:002019-07-23T14:44:24.788+10:00bring back Markajbring back MarkajAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-91200007408058045762019-07-23T14:20:37.231+10:002019-07-23T14:20:37.231+10:00I don't think their has being a season when pe...I don't think their has being a season when people have lost so much faith in FFT!<br />I hope the CEO second year is better than his first!<br />I fear he has bunkered himself in at KGV headquarters !<br />FFT staff need a boss not a best mate !<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-48603916156381306532019-07-23T13:16:05.180+10:002019-07-23T13:16:05.180+10:00Classic walter anit-port work that isClassic walter anit-port work that isAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-33322639615599005042019-07-23T12:42:21.653+10:002019-07-23T12:42:21.653+10:00Fitzgerald was diving and sooking all game.

What I saw while watching the live stream, just prior to this pic, was Pace being smoked by Fitzgerald leaving Pace with no alternative but to apply a rugby tackle (and a shit one at that) to catch him. Fuck me anyone would be pissed at that! OMG really? There is a massive difference between playing football hard and bullying.

And as you said they have done well. <br />Why would they want to come back now. ?<br />Lots of other things at the club need to change before many of these <br />return. The club has been wrecked and now it is up to you to fix?<br />Good luck to you you are going to need it. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
