Essendon & St. Kilda NAB Cup *spoiler alert*

[Grimreepah]

Good work Lions. Get the bad quarters out the way before the season starts. We were the last to score so we now have the momentum.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Surely we've got to play Merrett, Patfull and McGrath in the second match.

We need a modicum of experience in there.

 

[Danog]

Just sent a link to a stream to whatboutbob. Bother him for it.

Dear Foxtel,

Thanks for informing us of our $10 bill increase today! Excellent reward for us coming out of our 12 month contract.

Further, thanks for the exemplary coverage of the Brisbane Lions NAB Cup match tonight. Show the world how sports coverage is done.

Sincerely,

nigelicious.

I don't have any faith in Foxtel sorting out this issue. They can't even find a second tune to play in the background.

 

[GabbaGirl]

well I think I'm glad to have missed that half

 

[Lace Out]

The only thing this game is giving is better odds on GC' spoon.

[sherrin_footy]

[Hollow Knight]

Ash, Strawb and Patfull playing in the second game.

Thank god.

 

[Grimreepah]

Total disposals 102 - 58.

 

[GabbaGirl]

Geez what are the odds on us scoring again?

 

[BigCat2]

On the plus side - Leuenberger getting some hits.

Polec! Sounded good on radio.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Would have loved to see that Polec goal. :/

Sounded special.

 

[chopperduck]

Polec sounding very very promising. lock for round 1.

Don't get me started on coverage. Was going to start a seperate thread, but here seems as good a place as any. Don't worry about Fox, I don't have it. How is Seven who on afl.com in their blurb purport to "love AFL". No footy news all week on their nightly news until last night and tonight when we get to hear how Carmichael and Israel are doing. No Lions reports. Now I wouldn't expect to show tonights games live, shit they won't show regular season games on a Friday live, BUT they advertised the games at the ridiculous hour of 12:30 which I had resolved to record and watch in the morning. NOW they will put them on at 11:30 on 73. Hey my recorder is only standard def so now I can't even record and watch in the morning. These people are deadset contemptuous. I can only hope and pray that Seven do not get a look in for the next broadcast rights.
I know it is only NAB Cup but ffs put the games on for people to see. Arseholes.

 

[chopperduck]

Polec with 100% of our points...what more can you ask for in his first game lol.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Just a reminder that requests for streams are not permitted.

Dude, extenuating circumstances.

 

[whatboutbob]

If anyone wants to know how to fix their foxtel service, feel free to PM me. You're not missing much though.

 

[Shazzman]

good thing u guys have Polec bad thing we dont have him lol

 

[Voss the boss]

Holly crap - i hope this isn't a sign of things to come

 

[Grimreepah]

McCauley in the ruck.

 

[sherrin_footy]

goal - rockliff

with a nice little goal celebration towards QLDers

 

[Grimreepah]

Rockliff goal.

Shortened game - time will probably beat us.
