    Disagree. Although he would have won two matches he would only have progressed as far as Roos ever did (Week 2) in the NAB Cup. It's a bit like comparing apples to oranges as they are two different formats, so going by weeks progressed is probably the fairest way to judge.

    At least that's how it goes from memory...
    Sounds mental. I like it.

    Will be a very interesting days football at Blacktown
    Nah - I reckon GC will finish bottom 4 in 2011. Most of their youngsters will be too green to make a big impact at AFL level next year and they don't have anything even close to resembling a forward line.

    Actually, it's nice to see the AFL try something different with the NAB Cup. I just hope I'll be able to get there.

    I'm with you. I'm looking forward to it a lot more than I would be for a normal NAB Cup game. It's a shame the 3 team format is only for the first round.

    Thanks for that. I used to play work touch footy carnivals like that, although we'd use the break between games to knock over a couple of cold ones. Now THAT would make it an interesting format!
