I'm leaving work in Perth early on Thursday to drive to Freo oval.

Anyone else making the trip?

Cant wait!!!

Will Hogan play?

Can yo pick me up at the G on the way?
 

After we lose wait for the wrist slashing on the site!

After the loss? The wrist slashing will begin when Freo kicks the first goal.


I'd be happy with an OK performance. (Not expecting a win.) But I suspect it will be ugly. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Yeah.... but what about when we win? I friggin love this place after a win.

Thursday can go one of two ways - a victory that will give the optimists a hard on and the pessimists a meagre smile, or a loss that will give the pessimists what they want and the optimists will just claim it's NAB Challenge and it will be all good once the real stuff starts.
 

May the football gods look down on us and protect thou who wear the red and blue.

Not but seriously looking forward to seeing Lumumba, Garlett, Hogan, hope Brayshaw gets a start but more importantly no injuries.

I expect to lose but not because we are bad, I have been told by a few in the know they are flying and as opposed to last season Freo are hoping to hit the season proper in similar fashion to the way Hawthorn started last season with a view of rotating and freshening up some players mid season and hit the end of the season like 2013 fresh and ready for a big tilt.

Taking that into account with their focus being on Round 1 I expect them to be making some early statements. Very good test for our boys


Pray Hogan has a lot more luck than last years NAB Cup

Heck il start it now if yous want!

I expect Hogan to be reported as wishing to come home by local media whether he fires or not.

I expect Freo to come out soft for this early game as they have repeatedly been 2 games stuffed by end of September.

I reckon we might be up and about.

Or it could be draw....


When is the playing group announced?

thanks captain obvious.....

I was talking responses to the outcome of the game, but go ahead and delete the actual post to suit your wit.

The aim of NAB matches is for teams to work on their structures &game plans and implement some of the plays they have been working on. It's a time for coaches to experiment to get some sense of how far the boys have progressed and likely line-up for the early matches. I am looking to see improvment as well as future potential. Do we have greater depth, is our ball movement quicker, do we have a forward line that can kick goals A win is a bonus but really the NAB must be seen for what it is. And I always hope like hell we get no serious injuries.

relax, just a little fun wiseblood........nothing personal meant

When is the playing group announced?

Tomorrow i think.

 

If you offered me a 8 goal loss BUT no injuries right now, I'd consider taking it. An 8 goal win but ONE random injury? Probably not.

The Dogs may have beaten Richmond on the scoreboard, but they were the massive losers over the weekend.

Let's hope we can get out of Perth unscathed. We've had some pretty bad luck in recent years (Jurrah's shoulder, Morton going down when he was good, Hogan, Petracca already this year...)

I'll be heading down on Thursday to watch us absolutely pants this bunch of floggers. I hold the Fremantle footy club in as much contempt as the Pies. I reckon we'll go well and shock the football public with a dominant 10 goal win.

But realistically, I'd be happy if we can show some attacking footy, clean disposal and real pressure tackling. More of last years defensively minded rubbish will be a major disappointment.

The team are also having a short 1 hour training run at Fremantle oval on Wednesday which I'll sneak down to as its only 20 minutes from the office. It there's anything worth reporting I'll jot some notes for my fellow desperadoes.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
