Nab Cup Grand Final

[Chodders]

I'd say there would be about 35 - 40 000 there, Basically given what has happened the last 2 years (Us coming last, Geelong flopping) most people believe the NAB cup is dead rubber

I still feel that theory about the NAB cup being a poisoned chalice is incorrect. I think that the past two years have been abberations. In 05, we were still riding high with our rejects and essentially they helped carry us to the win. By the time the regular season started the opposition had worked out how to play a lot of these guys and they showed their true level of ability. (I feel we got lucky with Scotland and Stevens, but of the rest, if they are still at the Blues, they are not getting a regular senior game.)

In 06, I am not quite sure what happened to Geelong. I think they had the talent to make the finals it all just went awry. Look out for them this year.

I think this year if we win it, it will be largely on the back of up and coming kids and it can be nothing but a positive for their confidence.

this game is 100000000000000000 times less important than a regular home and away game.

that's why you sent your strongest side over in the 2005 nab cup grand final

And I disagree that round 1 means more than next week. In the scheme of things, a regular season game doesn't mean all that much. But a grand final win goes into the record books, like it or not, and gives us some silverware, some prize-money, and much more hope for the up-coming season than a win in round 1 would.

Are you serious?
I would rather lose this game by 20 goals and win round one. A first round win is vitally important to kick our year off with games against Geelong, WCE, Saints in the first 6 rounds.

I am pumped.

Never went to the West Coast Wizard Cup Granny, shattered I missed that.

This year feels different, when we won that pre-season granny, our side was full of duds.

This year, we have a core group of players that will be apart of our next finals campaign.

This is the START of something special.

Saddle up.

2005 was awesome but agree this year is much different.
