    NAB Cup Round 3 - Swans v Essendon

    Friday, 6.10pm at Etihad.

    Should be a good contest, assuming both teams turn up. The last three home and away games the Dons have been crackers.

    The Dons must surely be pumped. Plus they're well-rested.

    Goodes will be back for the Swans, Hannebery and Reid are possibilities.

    Ah, love a good contest against the bummers.

    Seriously though, I doubt either team will push too hard. Bummers are bottom of the ladder, so nothing to play for there other than testing and the Swans, while touted to be in contention for a final's berth, will rely on too many other results going their way to have a chance.

    Stranger things have happened though. Is it still a million for a win?

    Ladder if you're interested. http://www.afl.com.au/nabcup/tabid/74/default.aspx
    Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sector

    If its anything like the game last year between these two teams (which I highly doubt) then it will be a great match, but who cares about the result, just dont get any injuries!

    Excuse me satch if I don't wring my hands with anguish re your problem. Go to Paris and see the boys when you get back, buy a red beret.

    Plus I dislike the Bombers sooooo much i.e. when you rank the teams from worst to best...Esendon come in last.....so pleased the two new teams have come in so I can rank them 18th instead of 16th. Would love to see us beat them live.

    You lucky bugger Satch - Paris in the Spring, is there romance in the air? Don't miss a night at the Lido or the Musee D'Orsay. And keep your money in your pocket for season proper, forget Melbourne come up to Sydney for a home match at the SCG.

    Who would have thought a couple of old Royboys would share an interest in the Musee d'Orsay, one of the great world attractions.

    I think I only just realised there were two Royboys on here -I think I'd always kinda rolled the two of you into one...
