from another thread and wasn’t sure of correct thread to discuss
Yeah NAB have been around them for ages, I remember they were the naming rights to the former long-running pre-season from early 2000s to mid-2010s NAB Cup, as well as still (?) kids program NAB AusKick which goes back 20+ years and were a long-term partner of 10’s TV coverage, possibly even Nine and then Seven.
Copying the A-Leagues Club Championship. Very good initiative to create a greater sense of “one club”.
I can sniff Brisbane winning this a lot.
The way their women’s team is being pillaged this probably won’t happen. Back Melbourne (who’ve lost nobody from their AFLW team apart from Daisy Pearce who’s retired and in Geelong Men’s Coaches Box) or even Richmond (my tip for the flag to be honest with those additions from the Plastics, plus an improving AFLW side) to be favourites.
Yeah sounds right now. Dees or Tigers 100%

Tom Browne said:
“Some of the top players (in the game), including (Patrick) Dangerfield … are now specifically pushing for this concept - that is the right to wear their own gear to the ground.“Of course, players will get an earn from it.”
But Browne said clubs were a “little reticent” because they wanted to protect their own sponsors.
The first game of 2023 AFL home and away season has finished in a low scoring draw between Richmond and Carlton. Both teams finished on 8.10 (58).
What a bloody good start!!

DRAW FC :4
CARL: 2
RICH: 2
DRAW FC Premiers confirmed
Didn’t see that one coming!
Tied game between Richmond/Carlton with 58 points each.
A draw on the first match of the year? In front of a massive crowd? Wow. That’s a rarity.
Neither team will make the 8.
