[Collingwood Storm]

this is one game i dont mind losing...rather than being stuck with limited interchanges and bench size in the nab cup it is a better preparation going on the nab challenge circuit with unlimited bench size and interchanges

Great Victory there for the Crows in Dubai

Crows 4.15.10 = 136
Magpies 0.7.13 = 55

Crows juniors look the goods Goodwin look strong up forward also

 

[djst]

The Crows looked very slick,Maybe too slick at this time of the year.

 

[Twizzle]

and how was the crowd ?

some of the Arabs were trying to work the game out, they looked a bit confused

 

[griffo346]

Twiz about 6,000 i believe not too bad considering its a Arab country Bruce loves the idea and it looks like they could do it more often

I had to :lol: @ the 2 team comp in Dubai the desert heat and Dubai Titans or something like that and how Bruce said that it would rival the rivalry similar to Carlton and the Pies.

also exciting to note that the Pies made a sister team connection with one of the teams there also

I think playing with limited interchanges beats playing in a dust bowl in some sh*thouse town in Western Australia. Or maybe thats just me.

Who will win the NAB cup? Well, Calrton and St Kilda seem to be two teams that always take it seriously. Hopefully the Tiges can get up, some extra money in the kitty would be handy.
