Scully great hands in close along the wing. Shocking free kick against him for holding it.

Dees make turn over... Rivers running on to it.... point! 1st is done.

28 vs 2 points Freo up.

Can we really be this badly coached or is it just first game nerves or travel. The whole idea is to get better, not worse. At this rate, the spoon is ours.

Sick of Miller already.

Someone got Gary Lyon's number?

Watching this quarter was like banging my head against the wall.... painful and pointless.

On the bright side, Scully's hands are bloody amazing!!!

Hahah I have my helmet on already!!!

Look very good, his pace and ability to follow up to the next contest and go again also a highlight.

I've really enjoyed watching footy this weekend, went to Saints vs Pies Friday night with some mates, watch Swans vs Blues and North v Cats today. I am not enjoying this just yet.

long year coming up.

After one quarter of the NAB cup :D

We look cruddy early, but let's not jump the gun.

Whats strauss number?

47

For goodness sake, it's the first quarter of the NAB Cup.

We're not going to start this suicide crap all over again, are we?

We were never going to improve out of sight in one season. It's going to be a slow process, so enjoy the ride and stop with the panic. I almost forgot how painful this place is whenever we play poorly!

What we hope for is continued improvement, we have a lot of kids granted but we just aren't improving. I know it is the first quarter of the NAB cup but we are still playing the same way. No highlights not enough inside 50m our transit from defense into attack is still very very poor. We are playing the biggest front running team in the comp, if we don't show something in the next quarter we might get done by 10 goals.

I think our game plan is keep it in there half and wait until we make a mistake

nothing has seemed to be going right today

Whats strauss number?

47, had a kick coming out of defence mid way through qtr. Nothing on. Rivers was standing in between 3 Dockers pointing to a spot in front of him, Strauss kicked it to Rivers while he was stationary.. turn over...

scully's hands on show. can't get any flow into our game. dockers are rebounding well and preventing us doing the same. brad green looks a little unsure which is unusual. moloney trying hard. davey struggling to get into the game.

morton is trying hard and looking ok.

funnily enough we are getting hands on it at clearances just not hitting targets or finding clear targets upfield.

Come round 1, not sure I want to sit through a 100 point flogging.

Yes it`s ugly but steady on people. Its Round 1 NAB Cup. In fact it`s quarter time.

relax people, we will have quarters like those this year. young footy side

A lot of nervous boys out there but christ no onw working into space

again we continue to kick to a contest where numbers are against us. We set really poorly

against set plays. Sandilands palmed it in Ballantyne's lap and he's 10metres in the clear.

No passion so far Dean light a fire under these boys.

Just stupid game plan.

We are the same as last year

Pavlich and Balantyne are loving it

The turnovers are unbelievable.

Don't go overboard yet my man. Lets see how they run the game out...

Jetta good pick up in the middle... looking for someone by hand.. turn over... Docks having shot on goal. Goal

Healy riding us for terrible skills. They are giving Bennell a touch up according to Healy and Jacko.

Another goal

the only thing I've liked today is scullys hands

I tell you what... the umpires/AFL rules on the holding the ball is shocking...

We are looking crap but it is only one qtr

After hearing some nice reports over the summer and hoping for a decent contest tonight

well I guess we are going to battle getting out of the bottom 4

Another goal now and we are 27 points behind this isn't looking good early

Bennell has made some bad mistakes early, loving scullys hands, nothing looking good forward

Some of our more experienced players like Davey, Green, Miller and Rivers are letting us down. We need a lot more out of them.

Just one of those games like the adeladie game last year where i cant see us kicking a goal. And that is pretty sad.

A quarter and a half no goal we don't even look like going close.

I'm just not getting the rules... how was that a hold...it was worse than the one against warnock and Jacko is so one eyed

Twice Morton has tried to spoil and half hearted them both. He needs to put on 10 kgs and go hard at it.

Jurrah... finally transfer and run. Jurrah one on one on lead, drops a soda!

Green! 9 pointer
