Collingwood here.

Our kids look decent. I was actually pretty disappointed in more of he seniors last night, but if Swans interview post match was anything to go by, they didnt give a fuck.

I thought it was hilarious how Swan hadn't realised they had won both games.

Essendon gonna knock out Carlton in the 2nd week of the finals... only thing I'm worried about is losing Hurley to GWS... for Essendon to take that next couple of steps.. Hurley is required or Gumbleton has an amazing run of good health and becomes the player people thought he would be when he was drafted.

Can't wait for the new season. Don't have a favorite team, just enjoy watching the sport.

I remember first seeing Aussie-rules football on ESPN's Biff Bam Boom Anything Goes Bloopers.

Hawks supporter here. Hoping we get a good run with injuries this season.

Can't see the Hawks losing if they have a good run with injuries.. loses like you had less year against Collingwood can make a team steamroll the next season.

Eagles killed essendon with their C team and killed freo with their b team.

Can't wait for the real season to start.

To be fair Essendon didn't have nearly there "A" team as well.

On the other end of the spectrum some of our youngsters looked drunk out there.

I love footy but I don't think I can bring myself to watch other teams play in the NAB Cup. Means nothing.


Is anyone interested in doing Ultimate Footy this year? It's proper fantasy football with a draft and whatever. If we can get a league we can even do a live draft.

http://www.ultimatefooty.com.au/

Sick of everyone playing DT/SC. They are so boring.

Yeah me and my mates have jumped on that. Having a bit of a piss up and barby for our "draft day," should be a lot of fun! DT and SC got really lame last year I found, teams were mostly 90% the same, with a win/loss depending on which random player fluked a good game.

I was at the West Coast, Freo and Dons game tonight. It was great to see more people there than usual for a NAB cup. Also great to see the Eagles wallop the Dockers.

I've been away in Bali for the last two weeks, so footy season snuck up on me. Glad to see it back, even if it is just the NAB. Also good work on the thread, Jambo.

How did the GWS geriatric 4 go?

No one wants to do Ultimate Footy?

I'd be willing to give it a shot, but I can't promise I'd be any good at it.

I updated the OP with the supporters list, as well as links to the wiki pages for all of the clubs.

Let me know if I missed anyone.

Eagles played players that haven't even had a game in the WAFL, Essendon had way more senior players.

The slaughter of Israel Folau by some in the media has been pretty embarrassing. Give the guy a chance for heaven's sake.

Pachael and Scullibuno are the two other Saint supporters I remember.
 
I think just like in real life I'll be the only doggy supporter around. We looked average, losing to GWS would've been quite the embarrassment so I'm happy we at least held onto that.
But everyone knows the NAB cup is about getting through without injuries, results are irrelevant.

Good thing with the new teams is that people will generally watch a handful of matches they are playing in, either to rag on them some more or jot down optimistic impressions.

Not to sure about that we had some players who hadn't played VFL for 2 years....i could name probably about 9-10 of our best 22 that didn't play

Still eagles would have smashed us anyway

That Bris v Melb game was entertaining. Pretty scrappy game but the end was fun. My dad's reaction when Frawley stuffed up the kick at the end was hilarious. (He's a Dee supporter.)
 
Massive Blues fan here. Not getting too far ahead of ourselves but, assuming we are relatively injury free to our top 25 or so players (unlike last year) and I think we have the team to win the flag in 2012! Resting Judd (or bloody giving him a hand every now and then) might improve our chances too this year.

Updated the OP.

RandomVince has pushed the Bombers out in front, with 7 supporters!


Some great matches this weekend. I was hoping for Port to get 2 wins, but unfortunately the Crows pipped us in the end. I was a little annoyed about the umpires call on the final Port kick out though, but it's only NAB Cup.

The umpiring throughout the whole thing was bizarre - case and point Carlton's 9 pointer at half time vs. Port.

Port looked alright to me. Brad Ebert played quite well. Redden didn't do too bad for his first game in the ruck. Most of our young boys seemed to put in a good effort. I was impressed.
