I like the approach of the club here... blood the newbies, give them a taste against a pretty good outfit on their own dung hill.Huge congrats to Sammy Rowe. Deserved.Also looking forward to testing out my International Membership live streaming of the game (and every other game). Yep, living OS for at least the next 2 years - gonna really miss going to the NB games but I suspect I will fly in a couple of times and then hope to get to an NBs game.

I wouldn't expect this year to be any different.We'll get smashed or make the final (or God help us win the thing) and someone will jump up and make a point that it must mean something - probably backed up by dubious stats of past performance - and once again we'll see that it has no reflection during the real stuff.
Re: Sam Rowe NAB Cup Captain. Reply #10 – February 25, 2015, 06:19:57 pm Hey baggers, the AFL international subscription is good value and doesn't require huge download speeds. Its only the channel 7 or foxtel coverage but it works pretty well and any game can be watched on demand. They have a couple of footy shows as well, but with the usual talking heads such as Garry Lyon appearing it is best avoided. It helps deliver the footy fix without too much fuss.Looking forward to the Friday (morning) game with few expectations other than seeing some of the newer players do well. Particularly keen to see how the forward line sets up with the changes we have had.

Then go 0-4?As long as the kids get a run, i couldn't give a toss what the scoreline reads.

I find the important part is looking at individuals and how they go not the overall score/result. If you go just to look at the game it's can be most uninspiring. Went to practice game 2 years ago and asked myself 10 min into the first qtr why I was there.
Re: Sam Rowe NAB Cup Captain. Reply #14 – February 25, 2015, 08:55:25 pm I agree with all that feel this is an important way for the young kids to get a run at AFL level and see what potential we have to work with.
