Clubs arranging visits from interstate clubs has nothing to do with FFT having to assist them. It is a money spinner for the club itself with proceeds of food and drink going to them. If no-one turns up which results in reduced takings , then that is the club's fault. If you do not put in 100% that is what happens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-84870230458370804942011-01-27T09:58:07.449+11:002011-01-27T09:58:07.449+11:00How do you figure they lack organisation when they...How do you figure they lack organisation when they bought the side down? ok sth hobart ran a fantastic event with hellas and that is purely because they had 12 months planning, people really are un-educated here, perhaps if the governing body was to help in bringing such events and organising teams to come and supporting events such as this they would then be a bigger spectical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-6233595126532918322011-01-26T20:06:20.224+11:002011-01-26T20:06:20.224+11:00If Melbourne Knights look at A Holmes I will go an...If Melbourne Knights look at A Holmes I will go and buy a hat and eat it.

They were the ones that invited Melbourne over . Others have suggested that FFT should assist ? Why should they ? Look at the turnout for the Hellas game. Great crowd , heaps of food and drink ,ball boys etc .<br />The Melbourne Knights games were poor, no atmosphere , little to eat and drink with many of the supporters going to the shop next door for food ,no ball boys. Its is not that hard to COPY what was supplied the previous week by the other clubs involved. It seems that the Glenorchy Knights lack forsight ,planning and organisation ability.

To achieve that FFT need a strategy linking the good youth development pathways to a higher level or standard of football.<br /><br />That part of the puzzle is still missing despite much work and $$$'s being spent in recent years on development.Surf's Upnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-46721610748524839442011-01-25T19:39:49.960+11:002011-01-25T19:39:49.960+11:00latest anons

This was totally Glenorchy Knights' gig, and they had much more than 2 weeks to plan both games and prepare for them. <br /><br />FFT arent there to assist those individual SPL clubs who want to invite VPL clubs as part of their preseason campaigns. Otherwise every other club would crack it.<br /><br />On the other hand, FFT did some promotion for both visits, provided the KGV venue and presumably arranged officials which is all anyone should expect. South Hobart and Olympia didnt whinge because they stepped up to the plate.Surf's Upnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-27666212191350621402011-01-25T14:38:27.601+11:002011-01-25T14:38:27.601+11:00The prevailing attitude of the respondents on this...The prevailing attitude of the respondents on this forum is very depressing.

This isn't silly, just brave and trying to increse the players experience at this level playing against quality opposition.<br /><br />2) He started Huigy and Holmes.

They looked buggered and lucklustre. <br /><br />3) How old were May's? 14, 15? Young. Very young. The result the day before was important; Glen vs Melb. However, this game was purely about development, and May states that.
