From the Herald-Sun
Quote:GEELONG'S preparation for its season-opener against the Brisbane Lions on April 1 has been hampered after it was unable to organise a VFL practice match on Friday. As the AFL has the weekend off ahead of Round 1, the Cats had hoped to slot in a practice game against Frankston to give several of their recuperating key players, who missed the pre-season premiership, some valuable match time. But that plan was scrapped last night when VFL side Frankston, which does not have any link to an AFL club, pulled out...

That's the problem when journo's try and run a story before checking the facts.
A bit hard for Frankston to pull out of a match when there was never one organised.
The Frankston squad has had a pre-season camp organised for this weekend for about 3 months so was never involved in a match with Geelong.
Makes you wonder, really.
I understand the club has put a please explain in to the Herald Sun.
Looks like the Herald Sun is now Dolphin's hate of the week.
Looks like reporters should listen to what they are told, and then check with the club involved, rather than print crap that makes a hard working club look like bozo's.
Something that everyone, even non journalists should be doing and this is always check your facts before writing or saying anything.
