After a great round of NAB semi-finals we now have the Grand Final. Adelaide and St Kilda have been the form sides. Collingwood and Melbourne have not won a match and even though its just pre season, poor loses will be a worry.
Kurt Tippett is one of the many young players for Adelaide who have added much needed pace.
NAB Cup Pre Season Grand Final
Adelaide vs St.Kilda - Adelaide said this week they would rather win the first round of the premiership season than the NAB cup, however I still think they will come out strong. They have a very hungry young team and they will give The Saints a run for their money…
The Saints seemed inconsistent against the Bombers on Friday night, and I think they need to start working more as a united team and then they might get somewhere

NAB Challenge games
Carlton vs Western Bulldogs - Carlton got beaten well by the Eagles last week, whereas the Bulldogs put in a solid performance and really showed some of there strengths, and probably would have won by more if the lights had of stayed on. The Bulldogs should beat them because Carlton still has a lack of experience, but if Judd plays (has been named) they might topple the Dogs.
Dogs by 19 points
West Coast vs Essendon - West Coast was impressive last week impressive, but so was Essendon, they’ve still got a lot to learn but could well be a strong team this year. I’ll go for Essendon in a close upset.
Bombers by 6 points
Collingwood vs Hawthorn - Collingwood = Over-rated. the Hawks should dispose of them easily enough, as long as they don’t leave the game before full time like previously.
Hawks by 39 points
Geelong vs Richmond - No real contest provided Geelong don’t rest there stars… but good signs are starting to come from the long awaited Tigers.
Cats by 29 points
Sydney vs Brisbane - Hard to pick… Sydney almost seem lazy to me lately, and dont seem to have alot of interest in the pre-season… Brisbane still very inexperienced but I think they could well take down the swans.
Lions by 26 points
Melbourne vs North Melbourne - Melbourne = Useless… They had a good lead on the dogs, but failed to play 4 quarters of football, they played one… North Melbourne are looking reasonably good and hopefully can make an impact like last year.
Kangaroos by 31 points
Port Adelaide vs Fremantle - The band aid team vs the surprise team… The Dockers need to inject youth into their old tired team, but have a lot of experience and grunt… The power are a explosive exciting team to watch, but can get too ahead of themselves.
Fremantle by 9 points

Judd is back, now the question remains how good will he be and will he be hampered like Luke Ball? It took Ball two good years to return…
