We have been drawn against Carlton and Richmond at Etihad for our "round robin" matches.

Nice and easy, I like.

Another article here, mainly about our group.

For those that don't know, the matches will each consist of two 20 minute halves, which actually works out well for Collingwood, as we get back to back matches which will work like a normal practice match anyway.

I think I'd check the site again if i was working for the afl. The Richmond game starts five minutes before the Carlton game.

2 v 1?

Could we get a sell-out? 3 big Melbourne clubs. Just putting it out there.

Looks like Andy made a boo boo. The Port v Demons & Port V Crows is the same.

Judging by the rest i'm guessing it should be an 8.20pm start for game 2 & the 9.25pm start for game 3. Either that or the AFL knows that even if we field 2 teams simultaneously we'll still win through to week 2.

I think the new format will attract some interest.

I'd actually consider going, which is a first as I usually don't bother with NAB Cup except for DT preparation.

It'd be interesting to see where the three cheersquads will sit?

How long do the matches go for?

2 x 20min halves?

You could almost see two collingwood teams playing to minimise the level of fatigue to backup from previous game

Will these games be on TV?

I wouldn't be surprised if we played 2 teams. NAB Cup means jack. While I'd still hate to lose to the cheats, playing NAB Challenge matches instead of NAB Cup didn't hurt us this year.

Will these games be on TV?

Yes, 10 7 and Fox

Will be interesting to see what sort of side GWS fields

Take a look for yourself it's not that hard, even lists the channel it will be on.

 

[boxy2010]

Note the second round and finals games will be full length

Could have just told him if it's not so hard ay, no need to be like that

 

[jonesy86]

Cheersquads will have to work overtime on 2 banners and fight it out to see who sits behind the goals

Tigers Fans would go home for the Last Game

 

[DThomas]

Wow, that's different! It will be interesting to watch, that's for sure.

Imagine smashing Carlton and Richmond on the same night!

Carlton no doubt.

 

[ClarkeM]

I won't even bother watching it. It has become even more terrible as years go on. I will most likely watch GC and GWS, if I were to watch a game or two that is.

An opportunity that will not come often.
