Ive got the games taped so I'll review them Monday. I cant believe at 27 this is where my life is at haha and I couldn't b happier...
If its any consultation guys Richmond are everyOnes second team. Except tbag... I think he likes sturt or something...

What a ripping season it's gonna b. Teams such as essendon, Carlton, Richmond and to a lesser extent Brizzy all expected to improve who shifts out of the 8. Gonna b a very open season ahead. Lots of surprises

I think watching it on replay you can see what I am talking about. Look for the passages of play just before Sam Wright goes down. Hardwick pulls his stars not long after because I think he can see where it is heading.

I pay very little attention to that stuff mate. Im well aware that some teams arent fazed by the nab cup but history shows that the teams to win the nab cup nearly always play finals. I think Carlton were the first side to ever win it and not make the finals and that was only fairly recently

Carlton found a way to do it before it was even the Wizard cup. Every time they have won the pre-season comp they have not made finals in recent memory (this goes back to 97 when it was the Ansett Cup). Maybe it is just a Carlton curse.

Daw super impressive in the first game from what I saw. Viney I did not notice that much but that had to do with me missing the first half of the first half where he got some good touches according to the commentary team. Toumpas pushed forward and kicked a couple of goals which was a good sign. Terlich butchered the ball every time he touched it. It went everywhere but his intended target. I did not notice Jones at all. Currie worked well as a tap ruckman in the middle. But if Goldy plays I can't see them carrying both
