Round 1 is here!

Season 2012 has finally begun. Life just isn’t the same without the footy and thankfully the long wait is over. Not only have we seen Greater Western Sydney join the league, but we have four more days of blockbuster clashes to enjoy.

There is plenty to look forward to this year and there are plenty of questions to be answered. Are Richmond on the improve? Or will it be the bulked-up Bombers turning heads? Are the Blues already gone? Can the Cats do it one more time? How will Buckley’s Pies bounce back? Will the Eagles and the Crows live up to their NAB Cup form? Do the Hawks have it in the bag? And is the window closed on the Saints?

What are your predictions for season 2012?

NAB Cup Grand Final

March 11, 2012

On Saturday night the NAB Cup draws to a close with the Adelaide Crows taking on the West Coast Eagles at AAMI Stadium in South Australia.

This will mark only the second time that West Coast have competed in a pre-season Grand Final. After beating a full-strength St Kilda by 33 points, the Eagles go into the match with plenty of confidence. There’s a great vibe in the West at the moment, and during the week Nick Naitanui certainly had a spring in his step…

With Adelaide easily defeating Collingwood, the Crows cruised through to the Grand Final on Friday night. New coach Brenton Sanderson has started well in 2012 and a win on Saturday is sure to give their season’s hopes a massive boost.

But for all the other teams’ supporters out there, the NAB CUP GF means only one thing: we’re only days away from Round 1!

Riewoldt re-appointed!

February 8, 2012

After an off-season of intense training under a new coach, the St Kilda Football Club have decided to re-appoint Nick Riewoldt as captain for season 2012.

Since rookie coach Scott Watters announced the position was up for grabs in October, names like Lenny Hayes, Brendon Goddard and Nick Dal Santo have been suggested in the media, but once again Riewoldt has emerged as the club’s leader. The 29 year old won the job for the sixth season in a row after a vote at the end of a three-day team camp on the weekend, at the Mornington Peninsula.

It was a patchy year for Saint Nick in 2011, who admitted he struggled to handle the pressure on and off the field, and the same could be said about the club as a whole. However, with Watters now at the helm many Saints fans hope this will create a fresh start for the club and pave the way for a new era of success.
