NAB Cup LIVE

[Booney]

Just letting you know, if you only have one good player, and half your good players are out.........

Touche. Not true, but touche....

[The Sleeping Giant]

You know I rate boak.

[Booney]

I do, yes. But obviously none of the others on our list?

[The Sleeping Giant]

Not yet booney. See if any can step up this year.

[goraw]

gawd it looks like a port crowd

[Tiger83]

Piss poor crowd. Reasonable standard of game. Confusing and frustrating umpiring, and a deadset certainty Mark Of The Year!!

Only a trail game, how many people do you expect to go?
Not a bad standard of football, was surprised considering it was a fairly undermanned Carlton side, expected a full strength Crows side to belt them

[Tiger83]

Expected at least 15k. Great weather, Friday night and an in form opponent who have a pretty decent SA FOLLOWING. Just expected more thats all.

I think the heat might have scared off a few people, plus Womadelaide started tonight.

[smac]

Yeah, that's a common crowd demographic.

Footy... Some bloke I can't understand with a tambourine...

Not a fan of Womadelaide Smac?
Dont members have to pay for NAB games aswell?
That would keep a few people away.
So where will these NAB cup games be played next year?

[smac]

Is it a common audience?

[smac]

Can't find the "knock sticks together" forum anywhere!

Think you would be surprised at the people from all walks of life who go to it.
Im not a huge fan but have been a couple times and had a good night out, definately better than a NAB cup game.
I probably wouldnt even go watch Essendon if they came here for the NAB cup

[GWW]

Just watching the start of North and Geelong (I'm assuming its not a replay from a little earlier).

Apparently Geelong can make NAB Cup final depending on the result of this game.

Amazing seeing Jordan Murdoch - he is almost a clone of his dad from about 25 years ago with Norwood.

Geelong 1.2....8; ... North no score.....early 1st quarter.

[GWW]

North have barely touched the ball.

But on board now, 1 point. Geelong 2.2

[FOURTH ESTATE]

I know its only the NAB Cup and trying to keep a lid on it but back 2 back wins for the Tigers now and both from behind after coughing up a lead. Couldn't do it it last year and lost several close games but close wins gives the side some confidence especially at this time of the year and builds to our opener against Carlton to be a cracker of a game possibly 80,000+ in attendance!!

this forum discriminates against those folks

settle down

what has happened in the last 2 years in season openers v carlton???

[GWW]

Richmond's best is up there with the best in the comp - eg v Hawthorn last year - but we don't see it anywhere often enough. They need to get their consistency up and maintain their form throughout the season, and cut out the rubbish performances.

Until they do that, they'll continue to tease their fans.
