I've just tried to watch some of the game on Fox. Really ugly, ordinary, uninspiring stuff. Given the two coaches, that's not a surprise.Good to see the Dees and Freo looking to improve on their scoring this year.
Goal-less, maybe. Scoreless seems very improbable. Even back in the very early days where team strengths were very disproportionate and games were played in thick mud sloshes the weaker team still managed to kick a behind.I am tipping we keep a team scoreless this year.

Scoreless?
Goalless?
Serious?
I'd say without looking it up that it's never happened before and it will never happen
Some serious overrating going on!
St Kilda once scored just a single behind for a game. That was way back though. Not really relevant in todays game.Scoreless?

Its only the $wans that are rusty, according to GerrardI've just tried to watch some of the game on Fox. Really ugly, ordinary, uninspiring stuff. Given the two coaches, that's not a surprise.
But still - it's just the nab cup, which in this case means crap football by rusty-skilled footballers.
Even on a really good day, it'd be fairly unrealistic. Even Melbourne never went goal-less for more than a half and they were (are) pretty s**t!St Kilda once scored just a single behind for a game. That was way back though. Not really relevant in todays game.
I don't actually think we will keep a team scoreless or even goal-less this year. Though I do believe that if we have one of those really good days against a poor side having a shocking one then we could potentially keep them goal-less. We've done it before in recent years against many teams for a quarter or more. It's only sustained concentration and a bit of luck that will allow it to span another couple quarters.
I agree. Very unrealistic. But if there is a team that could pull it off it would be this Hawks team. Maybe against the Essendon top-ups in round 2 where we're still looking to bank wins and build some good percentage to allow us flexibility to rest players later.Even on a really good day, it'd be fairly unrealistic.

On another note, it's nice to see Brisbane smashing Sydney! (Yeh, I know, it's only NAB cup, but still ...) Particularly when you go to the AFL website, see the headline "Enter the Bloods" and then see the score.
Actually, that's a good point. Might be a few teams in with a chance to hold them goal-less.I agree. Very unrealistic. But if there is a team that could pull it off it would be this Hawks team.

Obviously I wasn't drinking enough beer to like what I saw. No doubt after 25 to 30 schooners Fremantle's game style looks marvelous.Clearly you weren't watching the same game as Ross Lyon, he claimed in his presser they were trying new things and he liked what he saw. Just remember the all important part, no matter the score, no matter the circumstances, they are creating a winning culture early in the season, which is always nice.
swans are cooked, mentally scarred and no depth.
Yep. It is growing in a petri dish in the clubhouse refrigerator.They'll be right, they've still got their bludz kulcha.
Oh dear!swans are cooked, mentally scarred and no depth.

Yeah, all deduced from 1 NAB Challenge game/practice match. May have gone a little early with that call... Just putting it out there...

He did put Sarah to air though...Eddie hasn't had a go at Essendon yet. He had an opinion about everything else..
Makes the Sydney offer to buddy reasonable in comparison.So GWS give a million a year to Cameron? The big-money, long-term deals going to these kids are laughable. At least Cameron has had one good season to base it on unlike Boyd. It'll be interesting to see which club is the first to have a long term contract backfire badly, like a few did in the early 2000s.
