I only put up what the VFL apparently put out.

It's not without precedent - Casey Scorpions had 2 games in Tassie this year (based on "selling" a home game to the Apple Isle). Maybe Frankston has done the same thing - it would be the only way you could see such a fixture happening.

The poorest part of this fixture - only having one game against Casey and having it in Round 20. Surely a rivalry needs to be set up between these two clubs - they should meet twice.

Agreed. It should be twice, and it should be earlier (particularly before Casey are out of the contest!! :wink: ) Only one game in 2007, after only one in 2006. Should be twice a year.

Frankston sold its round 4 game to Tassie,How does this work? What would Frankston get out of it? Airfairs,accom costs plus loss of gate,drinks,pokies if it was at Frankston. It would want to be a good deal.Not to mention robbing members of a home game,bit much to ask them to pop down to Tassie for the day.

Must have been a good deal. I'm assuming Frankston feel the game against Tassie at Kars St doesn't attract much of a crowd...which was no doubt the reason this year's game was played on the Saturday for the TV game.

Should be twice a year.[/quote] The best way to make it work would be to have twice a year, however the first time round play for something such as a plate/plaque, trophy/cup etc. etc. with the team winning the first one that particular season getting the first hom game the season after.
