Just keep it simple and let them play i say.<br />I think the disappointing thing with Olympia is before last year they finished third in consecutive years and really pushed Zebras/South all the way. What went so wrong since? I agree Chris Hey has them heading slowly in the right direction but how did they have such a massive u-Turn from title contenders to the rabble they were for most of last season.<br />Most of the players are the same, a few familiar faces appear to have left but generally the same lot ie Tsakiris's etc, Nesters, Masons etc.<br />They are a long way from being title contenders again, they will be competitive and pinch the odd win here or there but long way to go before they can compete consistently with last years top 4.<br />There appears to be an enthusiastic vibe at the moment with that club there but can they keep it up over 2-4 years which is minimum what they will need to compete well with the big boys in a long season.<br />Looking at the season roster, they have home games at Sth Hobart, i dont think this will benefit them as they wont get any crowds however i guess that is out of their hands with KGV being used by others and TIS also.<br />They are likely to self destruct again at board level which would set them back again.<br />If they can find a consistent scorer then they may surprise, i dont think Porky Tsakiris and Skinny Dipindra are the answer.<br />Im not sure relying on Adam Hedge and young Tsakiris will fill much confidence. Has Hedge ever played more than 1-2 decent games in a season. Little Tsakiris always been in his bro's shadows, couple good moments here or there but never fulfilled his promised.<br />How long will Adam Powell last? <br />Farrugia's technique looks very ackward and is not a great mover from what ive seen, but may improve. Nester on his day as good as anyone but looks uncertain at times and is prone to big blunders ie like the South Hobart game. Olympia battled hard on Sunday but looked unorganised, captain Hugh looks a hard working player but lacks some class.Zebras appear to be blooding a lot of youth, based on last year they conceded a lot of goals with Smith and Telega at the back and with Mainella there occasionally. Crosswell on midfield is a massive hindrance to them, he seems content to get the ball and just put his foot on it and show off rather than releasing the wingers/strikers which i thought was a centre mids job.<br />i fear they may drop to 4th with Knights and Clarence fighting out for 2nd and 3rd behind South.Yeah Yeahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-88597307864494088532010-03-03T20:48:17.259+11:002010-03-03T20:48:17.259+11:00hmmm anonymous 7.33

Positive however is the club and management.

He is an experienced coach and player and is making many eat their words and its only ticked over into March.<br /><br />They are on the right track. With young Takiris and Adam Hedge coming back I can see them pushing for a top four spot.<br /><br />Furigga was solid in the sticks - had many years at DOSA where he would've been worked hard.<br /><br />Juve on the other hand are in early trouble. They have been up for many years but a lack of leadership is making it hard. Self has been outstanding for them though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-8843498061022085742010-03-03T12:06:13.676+11:002010-03-03T12:06:13.676+11:00I watched this game and although Olympia did come ...I watched this game and although Olympia did come away with the win, they appeared to have a huge hole in the middle of the park and were under pressure for large periods of the game. This did change when Lee Mason came on to the field, he had that extra bit of experience to know how to play the holding role. Young BP will be a good player but still a little bit green to be playing in the middle, maybe should start out wide. It could be a good season for Olympia, they will have two very strong squads, Chris Hey just needs to find the right formulas.<br /><br />JamieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
