IC11 Behind the Scenes - Volunteers, Media and more

I'm trying to work out if you have any involvement in international footy or are just trolling.

"but cutting and pasting what I had written is not a response" - no it isn't, but answering your comments was. But sure, pretend otherwise.

"Your idea about Italy and Greece is a credible one, if only they (head honchos) didn't piss them off with the whole 'we are the AFL" thing" - Greece don't even have a team - you're talking crap. I spoke with the Italian men's side, and they had no problem, but are very new so IC11 was a bit premature for them.

Troy's comment about being out of pocket was pointing out that he volunteers his time. He wasn't asking for a medal, just clearly countering your suggestion that we aren't volunteers. A decent person would've apologised for getting it wrong. At least we know where you stand.

"if anything this thread had become more robust because I was honest with you guys" - Really? I hadn't noticed but thanks very much.

Anyway, there seems to be two bottom lines here - that you're offended at any suggestion that Melbourne not host the Cup (and your argument seems to be based on building continuity, despite not much progress in penetrating the Melbourne consciousness after 9 years, so great argument) and a desire to take pot shots at WFN.

Tell me, do we know you? Are you involved with international footy or just a fan from Melbourne dedicated enough to travel up to Sydney? Don't be shy now, add some credibility by outing yourself.

Mr fruckle ,you seem a little confused between cause and effect .

The media go with the stories they want ,not what WFN wants .The IC is only as big as it is because it has been at Melbourne not anywhere else .Melbourne has not progressed because nobody from Melbourne has said "we have this great venue , this great promotion ,this great accomodation deal , this great travel deal or this great interest"

So what do you suggest is the best way to create a sucessful IC ?
