other NAB cup games

Only just now starting to feel human again after Sat night at the footy in Darwin. Free drinks in corporate boxes, it bucketed down, I think Geelong won but I'm not sure. Somebody said something about Cornes having something stuck in his throat. :)
 
tis the new rule. a FF just has to stand still and his opponent breathes on him and hey presto he gets a free. The FB argues and if ya don't mind umpire the FF gets an extra 50 metres.

they're ruining a great game.
 
The problem I have with the rule "interpretation" (other than hating it) is that the umpires still make mistakes, Gaspar didn't have two hands on his opposition, yet he still got freed against. Doesn't make sense.

And surely, the umpires can tell the difference between having the hands in (on/resting on) the back and a direct push in the back?

Give us strength.

Hear Hear FT, that's my point exactly.
 
OMG - Brisbane supporters are so arrogant. I had a guy today telling me if the NAB GF is at the Gabba, they'll get 30,000 there. It's like he went to bed on the night of the 2003 GF and has just woken up. He's telling me how good their defence is and how their midfield will be up there with West Coast's this year. I had to bite my tongue to stop me from laughing.

IMO the last 3 teams in the NAB cup will be fighting it out for the bottom 3 spots on the ladder this year and the cats won't be that far behind them. Juts shows you how midleading results are at this stage of the season.

That would be a possibility if they promoted it correctly i.e. This may be your last chance to see Johnno Brown before he gets hurt and is out for the rest of the season..
 
The NAB cup is basically for teams in Victoria to try and win some much needed cash, interstate clubs don't take it too seriously unless they are struggling in the bottom eight or they are the Dockers, they just want a reason to build a trophy cabinet, sorry boys not this year! I can't understand why the Tiges don't have a fair dinkum crack at it, get some confidence into some of the young fella's
 
Carlton's foot skills look much improved.  I reckon Denis is doing a decent job there and they won't be on the bottom too much longer.  All credit to him, can't be easy when the club is in such disarray and disharmony all around him.

Don't want the Blooze to succeed but I like Pagan as a coach.

They won the Pre season comp in 05 and finished wooden spooners. Not sold yet rosy.

I'm not sold either but do you disagree their foot skills are looking a lot slicker this year, especially in the game against the Roos?

Whorethorn & Blooz about to start, I hope we don't see the Franklin Show again. :P

Can someone explain two things in this game:

(1) Why the Gawks still wear pre-1975 jumpers ?
(2) What the hell is that navy blue pattern on the side of the Bluebuggers shorts?
hey tigerforce do you realise that mr bean is a collingwood supporter ?? :hihi

Rosy is this the same coach who Carlton supporters wanted out for the last few years and is he really doing a good job or is it simply the optimism of all the early draft picks?
