Beats me' why but AFL have Essendon play winner of Saints v Cats... We played them last week.

Perhaps coingwood- the AFL's lovechild deserve an easier run and play winner of GC and WC...

Well done AFL!!

Have I read it right?

iwantmeseats · Fri 25 Feb 2011 11:30pm

yep thats right. Freaking ridiculous. They should bracketg it out from the start. BUT, the AFL do like to CONTROL things to the enth degree.

AFL = $$$ or stupidity, either way they're arseholes

It's the NAB Cup.

Who cares who we play?

It will be a better contest against Essendon that it would be against West Coast / Gold Coast.

Says in the paper we play either WCE or GC if we win. Anyway who cares. If it is Essendon we are guaranteed a home game.

The winner will play West Coast or Gold Coast in the semi-finals next weekend

would they be aiming for saints vs Pies in G/F if both decied to try hard and stay in the NAB cup- Mick didn't wish to win last night and many weren't backing them - maybe the fans heard about that.....
Mick said winning 1 at the most 2 preseason was enough before just working on strategies and practice....

Go Gold Coast !!

That way we get a "Home" semi final next week. Otherwise, its off to Perth we go !!

You dont reckon the AFL will give the Gold Coast a home game up there? Surely a home semi final would be a good marketing opportunity for them against the best club in the AFL??

Was Hayes quiet? Sounds like Walsh did well. it would a long time since a FB has kicked 7 in a game. Promising signs.

Yea Hayes was pretty quiet, just easing into the preseason. They decided to throw Tommy up forward in the 2nd half and he broke the game open....

Well he is a thumping kick!

One of them was a 150 metre Super Super Super Goal - a 20 pointer

LMAO! I nearly spat out my drink when I read that. !!!
Seriously thou, its a nab cup, there are more important games like 22 rounds of footy for the boys to play then hopefully another 3 - 4 games to play in September/October.

I am still giggling over that comment thou Spaceman.

Yep, apparently Geelong laid down, with KD, and half the team left the country due to Facebook allegations.

stkildathunda · Sat 26 Feb 2011 10:11am

but then again this is on the AFL website: http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/ ... fault.aspx

The result means the Pies will face the winner of the West Coast Eagles and Gold Coast encounter on Sunday for a place in the NAB Cup Grand Final.

Not sure I can trust the AFL website in matters such as this.

I'm gonna check a certain FB site that has all the right connections

saintspremiers · Sat 26 Feb 2011 10:53am

10K at any Pies game suggests the nab cup is DEAD AND BURIED!

It sounds like it won't exist next year so this is a two week argument.

Or:

nab cup, two weeks

Ah good thinking.. The def would know whats going on...

chook23 · Post: # 1043574Post **chook23** » Sat 26 Feb 2011 11:34am

most of the week it was reported winner Gee/Saints to play winner WC/GC

afl come out today announcing Coll will paly WC either over there or GC in Melbourne.

This explain by afl ..............WC to play at home due to heavy travel load
Coll to play in perth if WC win due to their LIGHT interstated travel.....

As we have already played Ess we were going to be on other side of draw but AFL have changed.
