2008 Non-Richmond games

[mightytiges]

LOL the Pies getting flogged by 80 points  . Welcome to commentating Bucks  .

I still reckon the Crows will struggle when the real stuff gets going but sheesh they are flying for early February.

Adelaide I thought were very impressive considering what many including myself perceive that they will slide down the table.
As for the Pies again all talk and nothing to show for it. Safaris in South Africa cleaning up at black jack tables at casinos all off field stuff. On field one big fat zero. One thing I love was a mate of mine who is a pie fan still feels that if the Pies had beaten the Caats in the prelim last year they would have won the flag

enjoyed the game immensely.

Because now if we lose no-one will be talking about us, it will all be about the pies and how slow they looked etc.

Was also delightesd that young Thomas didn't disappoint me pulling out of another contest, coupled with his brain fade in the 3rd - a wonderful effort that 

The perfect start to the NAB cup IMHO

Agree bluey. Good hands and read the play well.

It'd be nice if we had such clean skills as the Crows did last night.

Their hanballing skills under pressure were great 

Seemed to going for the run & carry alot more the Crows

Everyone seems to be dumping the Swans' tempo footy and copying Geelong's gameplan.

Hell-lay-loo-ya

Thank goodness for that

[Mr Magic]

I take the result with a grain of salt.

Crows to finish bottom 4.

[mightytiges]

You're right Magic but anytime the Pies get thrashed is good for a laugh  .

How about Malthouse whinging about Collingwood travelling too much. Welcome to the real world Mick. Now you have some idea on how the other 15 sides feel when they have to fit around the Pies' soft draw every year. Still you only have to travel twice during the preseason and don't have back to back interstate trips during the real stuff  . 

[mightytiges]

Pussies up by 33 points against a 3-4 goal breeze and doing as they please against the poor Dees. Doesn't look like any premiership hangover.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Margin out to 48 points at the major break.

[mightytiges]

The Cats went to sleep in the 3rd then turned the afterburners on in the last to win by 12 goals. 

The Blues are up and running although Port don't have their star mids both Burgoynes and Cornes playing. They're still average but we've got miles of work to do to match their effort, intensity and pressure before round 1.

[mightytiges]

The Hawks were lucky to get through against a Sydney ressies side. If it was normal scoring the Swans would've won.

Rotten luck for Malceski. Done his ACL apparently.

NAB Cup really means nothing.  How many times has Carlton won it or been runners up and yet finished down the bottom or near the bottom of the ladder for the home & away season?
