Rock n Roll, after a summer diluted by standards, competion and skills, let the good times roll.
Rub out the scumbags I say, forever, no way back!
Forget about the mismanagement of a few and envelope the spirit of competion that has shone for over 100 years.
From inner suberbian Melbourne, to embrace the nation. How good is the code?
From the dust of Bundanyabba to the storms of Darwin, opportunities reign supreme for the skilled, adventurous youngsters and, good luck to every one of them!

This format's a waste of time in that it gives an unfair advantage to the team that plays first and then last.

AS much as i like seeing the new recruits ,i would much rather go straight into round one .The pre season show cases new recruits ,but is no real indication where your club is at for the real season .There is also the injury possibility and for what .

In all honesty, who really cares about the NAB Cup?
Ask people who won last year and many might be scratching their heads, but that would be quite understandable.
I really look forward to the real footy where the results are a part of a fair dinkum competition and I would like to see the AFL competition begin a couple of weeks earlier.
With the NAB Cup, it's not the same with strange team selections and trialling strange rules.
