By Anne Fedorowytsch Walking into my boyfriend’s house for the very first time I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. One of the last things I was anticipating to greet me inside his family’s garage was a life size poster of Nick Riewoldt. This was going to take some getting used to. I was spending […]
A Tough Year Awaits GWS
March 19, 2012 by Leave a Comment
After watching GWS play against Richmond last Saturday at Manuka I am convinced that GWS will struggle to win a single game this year. In reaching the above conclusion I have drawn upon the experiences of the Gold Coast Suns in their first year. I note that Gold Coast recorded three wins against my pre-season […]
Eureka!

by Andrew Gigacz Yes, it’s true, Josh Barnstable has already given us a wonderful summary of last Sunday’s game, but I’m prepared to risk being labelled a copycat from North Ballarat. I think our views will be different enough. Josh is a North man; I’m a Dog. He travelled south to get to Ballarat; I […]
NAB Cup 2012: North v Bulldogs in Ballarat
March 12, 2012 by 3 Comments
Water, water, everywhere. A fitting summation of what has become of the country town of Numurkah, my home town (sort of). In the past, when people would ask where you’re from, they would screw up their face and muse “Numur-what?” Now when we tell them, they know instantly that we’ve been living on an island, […]
What Makes a Good Pre-Season?

What makes a good game of the West Coast Eagles and the Saints in the last Pre-Season match? (Warning: the following is very one-eyed) Winning: so much for that for St.Kilda, one win of the three rounder (note 34 degrees at night), a splosh around in the rain and floods, playing amongst ourselves at Wangaratta […]
Hot and Hotter, and Everybody Wins.

Hot and Hotter and Everybody Wins: So it’s started for St.Kilda (and Geelong and Sydney Swans). It started in a night of 100% humidity and 36 degree weather, with a good NAB Cup crowd of 18,000+ at the Etihad Stadium. I make a bet (in my head) that the players felt worse in the heat […]

Ah, the triangular arrangement for the opening round of the NAB Cup. It’s like the old Streets Three- In-One ice cream from the sixties. Tonight we get to take a peek at Richmond, Hawthorn and North Melbourne. The Hawks are warm favourites to win the NAB Cup and are expected to press for premiership honours […]
Floret Pica NAB Cup Week 1
February 19, 2012 by 1 Comment
For those either without Foxtel or with a better offer on a warm February night, I offer a few thoughts on the Pies’ opening NAB Cup games. The Fahey family lounge was full of black and white jumpers as we settled in for the first instalment of the year, this time from the grandiosely named […]
NAB Cup: North Melbourne v Richmond v Hawthorn
February 19, 2012 by 5 Comments
Year 12. It is an interesting year. It has its ups, and it has its fair share of downs. Those moments when you just can’t handle the pressure of the work that is piling on your shoulders at an alarming rate. Thankfully I haven’t experienced that, yet. The good experiences though? Where to begin! The […]
