Menzel believes Scott will risk his players running out of energy in the pre-season competition, rather than compromise their preparation for the home and away matches.

I'm glad to hear we will focus on round one even if it means we're not at our best for the NAB Cup. We have a very tough draw in the first few weeks of the season so being cherry ripe for that is the most important thing even if it means we don't win the mickey mouse cup.

Doubt that will be unique to Geelong

I love the new format. And it's only for 1 week!
If you're that old then I guess you want subiaco back in the comp and if we lose first week we have to organise intra club matches?

Agreed, but then it should be every year. Last season a few fans on here happily ignored losses in rounds 3 and 5 as we were guaranteed a Grand Final spot anyway. Of course, as it turned out that didn't happen, and if we had won either of those games we would have finished first.

They have to be at their absolute best in Round 1. We're going in as underdogs either way. At the same time, I most definitely want to win both matches on February 20.

There's nothing wrong with winning the NAB Cup. Didn't see to hurt us at all in 2009. You've got to play practise matches anyway, might as well win the ones that give you prizemoney.

Collingwood won the NAB cup last year?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Agree Partridge.

It's the way it should be every year and I'm glad it's our focus this year.

Nothing wrong with trying to win the NAB Cup, but the focus has to be beating St Kilda in round 1, and the four weeks after that, so I'm glad Scotty's not easing the training load just because the NAB's about to start.

That could be the season write there if we go 1 and 4 after 5 rounds with a flogging round 5 by the Hawks the pressure on every one will be enormous.Simple must start well.

I hope they don't bring this back.

Out they come,out they come,out they come to play.
just for recreation sake to pass the time away
lots of fun,heaps of fun all so merry and gay.
Geelong boys are hard to beat when they come out to play.

Part of the old club song it gets worse.

Oh dear. It conjures up images for me of drunken footballers prancing around with one hand on their hip.

I hope they don't bring this back.

Yes, especially after it took so many years to dispense with the "handbag" tag.

Sounds like a python skit

Nope. The bulldogs did. Beat St Kilda in the final and at the time were the flag favourites

 

[funk44]

its good to see the kids are coming out and saying these things, duncan came out and said scott need to put pressure on the kids and now this, obviously the club has given the green light to the boys to say these things but it shows a shift in mentality

I thought that was North Melbourne and possibly Geelong Amos. It's been a while though so am not 100% sure.

Sorry, got it mixed up with Round 1. My mistake.

I was sure it was North and Victoria. Can't ever remember Geelong using it. Thankfully.
