2016 NAB Challenge Discussion

[Eastdog]

Footy is back and it all starts tomorrow.

I'll put up the thread for our first NAB challenge match next week.

Here is the 2016 NAB challenge fixture

Carlton front and centre to kick off the preseaon as well, what is wrong with the AFL? No one wants to see this rabble of a club, why are they constantly propped up by that clown Lethlean. Even in the preseason competition they should be hidden from view on Sunday twilight.

Practise matches, the real stuff is 5 weeks away.

I am more than interested to see how we perform. Practice games or not I expect us to show some real endeavour and make a statement - Beware of the Dog!

[LostDoggy]

Yeah of course they are just practice matches, but after 5 months of nothing, any opportunity to see the 1st and 2nd year guys up against AFL competition is warmly welcomed. Also an opportunity to get an idea of any new plans Bevo and the coaching staff may have. Can't wait.

I'm a 3.5 hour drive from Canberra and currently trying to juggle my work schedule so that I can head down to watch the boys live.

It was the NAB challenge game against Collingwood last year when we first unveiled the men of mayhem on the footy world. I'm looking forward so much to seeing what we are going to hit it with this time around.

Unbelievable. The AFL is like an addict who just can't get over it. "We'll lead the season off with them just one more time. It's sure to work this year"

I always look forward to the practice matches because you can watch your team with no real pressure of winning or losing. You also get to see the new draft kids for the first time and the new recruits in the team colours. It's footy foreplay if you like.

It's pretty much how Field Marshall Haig ran the Western Front.

It's the first semi-competitive football match in 5 months, it's broadcast in prime time, and many neutral fans will want to tune in to watch. The fact it has to be Carlton just shows what a joke Lethlean is.

I don't disagree. I also don't know how much our club and other smaller clubs protest to the AFL

[bornadog]

Didn't watch the H v C match but flipped over and Brereton mentioned Carlton have 17 players from other clubs. They just can't be bothered developing young talent and building for the future, always after instant success.

Tonight's game was the closest thing to a televised training run I've seen. Such low quality and almost comical at times watching players avoid putting their bodies on the line.

Liam Jones, one disposal.
