    Re: NAB Cup 2013

    I remember in the North game mid season, therunnings sprinting, yelling at other players to get out of Cordy's way during forward plays.

      No actually, I am inclined to feel the problem more likely lay with the line coach responsible for the forwards. [ Gut feeling just from watching from outside... I do not have any inside information to back this up].
      As a first year coach I suspect B Mac might have not been inclined to ride roughshod over his appointed assistants even if they were not producing. Hopefully this year whoever is responsible for how the forward 50 functions will be right on the ball, and making certain the players are too.
      In his second season hopefully Mac has the confidence to oversee the whole show if things are not going to best plan.

        Wow....some big assumptions there.
        I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

          Stringer's the main one I'm looking forward to seeing. Living in his home town I hear a lot about the kid and how good he's going to be. OK, I'm buying into the hype here but it's someone I'm really looking forward to seeing.

          I've fell in love with Clay Smith and can't wait to see him play with another pre-season under his belt.

          Dale Morris. I'm sure we'll see him at some point in the series. If it's only 5 minute bursts I'm looking forward to seeing him out there again.

            For sure AR, and I think I said so pretty clearly. It is just a gut feeling, nothing more.
            But I have watched a hell of a lot of games at various levels over more years than I am comfortable admitting, and think that I generally get a reasonable sense of the game.

              Does anyone know what the ticketing is for Round 1 of the NAB Cup? I believe general admission is on Level 1 and 3. I'd say you can't use your membership card for the NAB Cup.

                Fair enough.

                  Liam Jones: After hearing that LJ has stood out to strength and conditioning coach Andy Barnett for his professionalism and hard work over the pre-season, can't wait to see how he goes out on the field.

                  Jason Tutt: Also been a big performer this pre-season which will hopefully translate into Tutty realising his undoubted talent and becoming the player we so sorely need.

                  Nick Lower/Koby Stevens: Haven't seen a lot of either player in years past, but the coaching staff are rapt to have both on board and could well be great pick ups for our Club.

                    A bit tough to blame the coaching staff when 4 players in Jones Cordy Grant and Gia were not competitive for long periods, which was abig cause in losing 11 games on the trot. Dahlhaus and Dickson showed the way in attack but it wasn't enough. That is why the development of Stringer Roberts and Campbell becomes so important together with Murphy moving forward to give us some hope of improving.

                          Your club membership is for the H&A season. The NAB cup will require you to pay for your tickets.
