Yep

Winner of our game on Thursday plays winner of Essendon Bris Vegas in the semis.

[mightytiges]

Agree DC. 80-90k crowd minimum. Both sides coming into round 1 on the back of massive hype.

Can both teams make the NAB final?

Yep Magic. We're in different groups. In fact we could end up playing Collingwood, Essendon and then Carlton in the next 3 weeks if we win our way through to the NAB Cup final.




Go Dees btw  . 15 points up on the Hawks into the last quarter.

Just goes to show you how much you can read into these games

Geez that's some choke even for a reigning wooden spooner. 33 points up at the start of the last quarter and then allowed the opposition to kick 6 goals to a point (3 of those goals in time-on) to lose. A shattering lost really even for a preseason game. Back-to-back spoons for the Dees. Roughead looked in ominous form for the Hawks. Won the game off his own boot.

  Damn was gunna call for a Carltank v Deez proper season grandfinal, stupid snow bunnies gave it up.

Yeah Yeah Hawthorn were not full strength, but Tankers were and North are gunna get their comeupance this year.

Shows how much you can read into these things.

That said think Us v Skunks is gunna be a good test.

Tell ya what the blooz supporters have allready got there Judd jumpers out and are dribbling all down the front .

Think it will be close between us again this year, but may have to load up and skin some of them baztardz for a second year running.

Round 1 is looming as massiver than what was allready massive

Never truer words spoken

[mightytiges]

Geelong are giving the Crows a spanking.

There's hardly anyone at the Dome tonight but with all the big supported Vic clubs winning this could turn out a record for crowds to the NAB Cup.

[Ramps]

Melbourne and North Melbourne are in deep trouble IMHO. Melbourne have the option of relocating to Casey and if they were smart theyd change the club name to Casey Demons and North ... well North should have gone to the Gold Coast with the proviso that there club name would have been Northern Kangaroos. North had a massive opportunity to lose the least of all clubs that have relocated. Anyway I dont see a good future for either of these clubs.

[mightytiges]

The Dees are especially in trouble. They are going to be bottom 4 for at least the next couple of years and they have still don't have a major sponsor (almost fell off my chair when they said they had one lined up but are waiting for a better offer  ??? ). They are hardly attractive to major companies as wooden spooners playing Sunday on pay tv.

Tend to agree Ramps.

This time last year the media were carrying on about North and the support they were getting membership wise.... I said at the time it wasn't 2008 they needed to worry about it was trying to sustain those numbers in the future .... hate to say it but I told you so North

As for Melbourne.... well how do the relocate when their name is Melbourne.....

If I was Jim Stynes and his board I'd be staying in Tassie this and meeting with the government and saying we will move here and play 11 homes games a year here and btw can we have the $3 mill a year you give to Hawthorn

[Chuck17]

Roughead looked in ominous form for the Hawks. Won the game off his own boot.

Loved that kick of Dews to Roughead, 50m pass that was flat as and pinpointed Roughead who was in the middle of three Dees.

Hopefully the Dawks will reamin Buddy concious and allow Roughhead to get frustrated.

[mightytiges]

With all the hype and attention on us, Carlton, Pies, Dons and Hawks, Geelong are quietly going on their business and looking ominous once again. No Ablett, Ling, Scarlett, Harley, Mooney, etc and they won pretty comfortably in the end over Port at AAMI.

All 3 ex-Tigers playing had quiet games too.

[Hes My Hero]

Hopefully the Dawks will reamin Buddy concious and allow Roughhead to get frustrated.

With Croad having no preseason and still out and Gilham now also injured, it'll be interesting to see how the Hawks' backline holds up this year if both struggle to come up. Their zone will have to work overtime with no key defenders.
