crows are 6 goals ahead of us, so we would have to beat essendon by a good 10 goals if we want a home GF

I have done too much work this lesson :lol: ... anyway, pies may be 0 out of 2, but all our good player played reserves last week and beat geelongs reserves, which had some AFL listed players, by over 150 pts. I dont care, how did pies do in preseason last year, crap, and they ended up deep in the finals. I beleive, like u shood, saints will get one within 10 years.

The NAB cup a half hearted affair all round. Half the teams are not interested, half the players go in half hearted (injuries much worse than defeat) and the attendance is half of what would attend a real game . Impossible to tell where the teams are at with this competition and Adelaide is too far for all this.

geelongs reserves were supposedly playing in Canberra beaten by the saints young guns- so the Pies actually beat the VFL RESERVES team- with 11 senior AFL guys. :)

Collingwood beat Geelong VFL....give me a break. Collingwood had half their senior players in, Geelong had 2 (TWO) Reserves players and the rest were local kids who were unlisted.

If you are going to read anything into this, the only positive was that Collingwood side can catch a bus and put their gear on the right way around!

Yep Been sprung. Lived when growing up within 100 metres of Selhurst park and parents still live there. Been to many Saints games but with only 22 home and away games compared to the now 46 of Palace, it will be a while to catch up in terms of games attended.
A trip to Adelaide for the NAB cup though isn't incentive to increase the tally. Felt the atmosphere for the Richmond Nab cup game was subdued.

I will not travel to an NAB Cup game, even if it is the Final.

If we happen to host or Hawthorn and us both win, of course I'll be there, but I don't really like going I/S anyway, certainly not for a pre-season game.

Unfortunately

if we make the final of the NAB Cap and

if it's in Adelaide

I will be unable to make it only because, at the age of 27, I will be playing in my first ever senior cricket semi final. The lure of a Grand Final berth of my own will keep me away.

This should be a good thing as the Night Grand Final I did attend in 98 was not good and our two Preseason Cup wins I was interstate and unable to attend.

Let's just beat the old Bombres this week and then worry about Finals[/i]

About 20 minutes into the second term, I began chundering my guts out...awful business!

An omen for what lay ahead later in the night, I think.

I hope the final is in Adelaide so we have a week away from Telstra Dome to refresh the legs before Round One.

We need to play on a decent surface and AAMI is perfect.


They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.
