Club Should Apologise for the Darwin Farce

[TigerLand]

The club has stuffed up here.

Unprofessional.

I think the unprofessional comes in when you consider Port were in Darwin a day early while a couple of our boys were in TV studios.

Thursday Night, Daniel Jackson was watching a band till late at the Corner Hotel, Lids was on the Footy Show, and Jack was at the Greyhounds at Sandown Park.
Port players had a training session from 8pm till 10.00pm at the ground on Thursday Night, say no more

The Football Manager needs to explain because this is just a disgrace if its true

We followed our normal procedure for an interstate match, Port came up a day early

That's the clubs fault not the players knowing its at least a 5 hr trip to Darwin and leaving the day before the game. SHould have left on Wednesday and trained there on Thursday and Friday and acclimatise. Cancel all engagements and get the players up there. Poor decision made by the club as a whole and this one stinks from the top. I still don't blame the players for this. This has been poorly managed. If it was in Melb we wouldn't be talking about where the boys were on Thursday night. It's not like we've never had anyone on TFS before or Jack has not been to the Dishlickers. Just poor execution of player preparation and management this week by the RFC.

you would have thought all players would of had an early night the night before they fly out.
Should of flown there on thursday, not friday

I must admit when i read in the aper that we were flying out the day before that i was concerned! heat raining at Punt Rd versus training on the ground proper? Lets fly up a day early! Especially when you make a quarter of a mil from the game!

I reckon the difference though is that this isn't your normal interstate trip, but is one of the few that requires a fair bit of acclimatising and I think a different preperation could be justified.

For example you don't hear of us training in the heat chamber before playing in QLD or Perth.

[the claw]

looked a superb surface to me similar size ground to mcg as well  didnt see us play in the dark. seems to me a lot of supporters have got in front of themselves.
just because the club and some its players manage to play some reasonable footy for a very short period does it mean those players have arrived or the club for that matter.

they were all out until 930ish last night as they were all sitting on a table next to us at a Thai place. Yep true and we left at 9 and they were still there eating.

Such professionals we have got on our hands. All i saw them do that was strenuous was a walk this morning

How we didnt arrive on Thursday and train at night NOT is absolutely beyond me.

This is just plain embarassing

[Ox]

reminded me of an under 16s trip to Leongatha.

LMAO @ Light towers not working

[TigerLand]

Just a mess, Captain Blood would be turning in his grave seeing this.
