The AFL season is now only a couple of weeks away and after a NAB Cup where two of the season’s favourites went all the way to the final, the anticipation couldn’t be bigger. It’s not easy to figure out at this time of the year who will still be there in September, but that’s never stopped footy fans from trying. We’re always keen to throw our two cents in, especially when it comes to who we think are contenders, and who we think are pretenders. So, with that spirit in mind, here’s my take … Read the rest of this entry »

Western Bulldogs vs. St Kilda – NAB Cup Grand Final Review
March 13th, 2010
Western Bulldogs – 2.13.8 (104)
St Kilda – 0.9.10 (64)
The Western Bulldogs won quite comfortably in the end over the Saints in front of 42,000 at the dilapidated Etihad Stadium. Finally the Dogs get some silverware after a massive 40 year drought. I think they might have rather one in September instead.
The Bulldogs got off to a flyer, they got 29 points in front before the Saints even scored and that score was from a non-existent free-kick. The Saints pushed back early in the second to within seven points but the intensity of the Dogs raised after that and they got out to a 22 point lead at the main break. Again St Kilda rallied early and got to within two points but the resilient bulldogs came back and kicked three on the trot. The task of coming back from 15 points down in the fourth quarter proved too much for the Saints. Read the rest of this entry »
