Nab Cup Scores

[Rik E Boy]

Picked a good night to go out on the turps. Heaps out, messing about the with the ball across half back and unable to penetrate St Kilda's forward press for about the third time in a row. A good NAB campaign - early wins, lots of footy for the kids and a sneaky second round exit while Essendon pump themselves up to lure back the disenchanted members.

Do you mean the evil Saints jumped over the lazy cats.

I thought we were playing collingwood next week in semi. Just announced essendon v saints after saints pumped geelong

Didnt Essendon play the Saints in Round 1? Oh yeah, thats right, they manipulate the programming to try and get a St's V Collingwood GF....

I know its only a challenge match but Sydney and Gold Coast played in round 1 and now play in round 3 again, I can't really see the benefit in playing the same team twice in trial matches?

Essendon mauling the saints, lead by 37 at the half

Yeh but the AFL do, and that's all that matters.

Not good enough.
Were behind by a bit most of the night, got back to 3pts midway through the last but the pies experience showed at the end. Good hitout and learning experience for the kids

Lacklustre game with coll barely getting out of 3rd gear

Bit harsh there. Yes it was a NAB cup game but i thought the skills and pressure was good. One of the better pre-season games ive seen for a while. And yes i have no illusions how far we have to go to catch up to collingwood, they are streets ahead at moment.

This game meant a lot , only five posts thus far. Coll looked good, near full strength, Ess will win more than they lose, I've got nothing else. Bring on round one!

Collingwood just played around with them.

The honeymoons over Essendon!

I am confident they won't.

Oh please!!!

[Dogwatcher]

Definitely not near full strength. As a start, Maxwell and Reid were absent, which created some problems for us in defence. Did Sidebottom play?
Jolly rested in the last quarter, leaving Wood to ruck and that showed a massive area of concern for the Pies. He is simply not good enough.

[Mad Mat]

Well 19 players from last years premiership played, so that would mean they were near full strength IMO. Unless Dogwatcher and NM have other ideas on how you define 'near full strength'

Well done Collingwood. What a horrible haircut Pendlebury has now though.
