Power practice match

[Triple B]

By the wayy Hawthorn are having no such late start problems they are killing Norf by 70 points

Is that the same Hawthorn who haven't won a game so far this year.

Another classic...

Well they are winning this one and I don't see us doing the same do you by 79 points over North. We are losing to Port, not exactly in the running for the top 8 last year if I recall.

All over...Port 102 Swans 72

Port supporters keeping a lid on it .....NOT!

Saints are overrated. Their best is behind them, time for a rebuild there. I think Giants will be ok though this year. They will win a few.

Port get exactly the as many premiership points for that one as we do..... I'd rather hear how we looked, how particular players went, if anyone was injured etc etc. Preseason is all about the process and nothing about the outcome IMHO.

Glad we have GWS & Gold Coast in the first 2 weeks, 'no disrespect to them' but it seems we need more match fitness. Will be interesting to hear horse's post match thoughts.

Oh dear god, is there any point starting the season. It's all over... It's all over.

The Port fans are all excited now. Expecting a big year. You never know.

Maybe BL will be the big mover this year. Looking positive after the NAB cup victory.

As for us, I wouldn't worry too much. We actually have 4 weeks before our first real test against NM. It's not that our first 2 games are exactly practice matches, but should give us an opportunity to fine tune our game and get some game time into a few underdone players without worrying too much about the final score.
