So the A-League launched the summertime promotion of 16 games of football in 17 days yesterday. Is the above image from theA-league twitter account a reflection of:

a) The Phoenix being forgotten and a stock image being used

b) A dig at our summer weather

I'm going with a) considering the reputation/wages of the other players, based on their selection we'd hardly go with Fenton as ours.

Or they are saying we don't like the hot weather in Aussie. But it does look very similar to the stock player photos.

Or, we don't have a marquee (cos we don't have a summer) so we're goin local...

It's ridiculous. Makes us look like idiots. Could they not of asked us to send a picture of Carlos or Paul with their hands up in the air. It just looks stupid.

Funny, just treating us how they normally treat Tasmania!

I must admit I can laugh at that especially when we chant and market ourselves as having the wind, the rain and the Phoenix.

Laugh!

Its funny, but also a bit of a slap in the face. It's not really the platform to take the piss out of us on.

A excellent motivational poster for the team and us fans to be I inspired by and step it up a level and start achieving.

I don't even understand why they have their arms out. I don't get it.
