Are there still going to be super goals?

Yes. Matty just posted that

I think that's more likely, that both teams will want a real tough hitout first up to blow out all the cobwebs but to also get a real look at who is in contention for a round one spot.

What are the rules by the way? Assuming no stupid 9 pointers or free kicks against the team who touched it last before it goes OOB. Hopefully it's just four 17 minute quarters with time on and an extended bench.

Edit; Here's the rules changes; http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-02-08/nab-challenge-explained

* 9 pointer exists = STUPID
* 130 total interchanges in play (drops to 120 for the real season) = Fair enough, gives teams a chance to get used to it.
* 26 players on each side, and clubs can reset subs at the half time break = OK

I actually like 9 pointers, make a game that essentially means nothing more exciting

Tell that to these Champions.

I reckon Swanny will at least get a super goal in the game. ( if he plays )

Hopefully this will b covered on FTA TV. Te AFL should pull the TV rights if it's not.
SBS had some game of soccer on every friggen channel the other day.

Foxtel is paying 500 million or something so I think that grants them some games. I think all 18 games are broadcast (on foxtel) which is pretty cool

There is only 1 A league game broadcaster per week and it gets hardly any ratings

What about Wittsy?

 

[Burns2008]

What about Wittsy?

i read hes out for a couple of weeks..

 

[mike123]

i read hes out for a couple of weeks..

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. That's a third of our ruck stocks gone.

 

[Burns2008]

i hope witts is fit soon so we can nurse grundy early on

 

[blaze036]

Why does this still have the game day tag? Went a bit early !

 

[RuFiO]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. That's a third of our ruck stocks gone.

But Grundy is equal to an army of men.

But Grundy is equal to an army of men.

Than Grundy and Witts together must be equal to a Nuke.

Will they name a side or will they just put the whole squad in the paper?

Pies by 22pts

I haven't been this excited for a Pre-Season game in a long time. All of my summer sporting teams losing (bar the Aussies) have played a big part in that. Couldn't care less if we win or lose, just want to get through the game without any new injuries. Big season ahead

 

[blaze036]

I think name a team with an extended interchange

 

[Green Eggs]

Very excited to see how our kids go, in reality any team is only as strong as it's least experienced players on the front-line. If our new draftees / rookies / reserves can compete - we're in for a good year IMO.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I don't expect to win (not that it matters) but I'm just dying to see the new recruits and how past years recruits have progressed

Especially Grundy

 

[Bloben]

I want to see how are likely ruck combination with Brody and White with Brody taking the majority of centre bounces and White relieving as the third tall.

If this combination works then safe to say our immediate ruck future looks Brite...

 

[TradeDraft]

Will the Side come out Today?

 

[THATSGOLD]

Like every time this year winning and losing means nothing. It's basically a level up from an intra club game and I didn't see anyone getting excited about the result of that match.
Just want to see some new players and maybe a few older guys in nice touch.
