Can't hurt to try. I actually like the range of experts they have... doesn't seem to have any bias or hidden agendas. My only criticism would be that there needs to be another club CEO to compliment Edwin Lugt

1. Poorly advertised
2. Too many talking heads and not enough listening
3. Too much Sydney
4. The format is wrong, as is the location
5. Match day
6. Too much Sydney

I just watched the thing on the World Game website, and most of what was said is stuff that has been covered before. Fossie does love to talk, but he is extremely passionate which is good to see. There was a fair bit of FFA bashing and I if it isn't followed up by the FFA then it was a waste of time.

I think Edwin Lugt was the most helpful person there and is also the only one who has a position which can utilise what was said. Interestingly, he made comments at the end inferring that Lyall Gorman was a good appointment and that there has been progress in the last 5-6 months.

Sebastian Hassett (SMH columnist) was also someone who impressed me with what he had to say and talked about the difficulties he has in getting the opportunity to write positive news stories for the A-League.

There was a bit of talk about the Mariners and the community involvement during the first few years. As someone who doesn't live on the Coast, is that still there as it was or has it dropped off?

watched part of the video online at 5.00am for reasons which i wont go into why
as far as a forum goes, it was not too bad - if the forums continue to evolve into something more communicative between the audience and speakers rather than just straight question and answer i think more views will be put forward that we havent already heard already (journos and football personalities), fans have some great ideas and the FFA has done a pretty good job of not taking advantage of this
