Great to see the Brisbane Lions give Carlton a nice little touch just before the start of the season proper. Both team's fielded strong line up's and both were missing key player's as well, but the point is does it bode well for the premiership season starting on Thursday night?
Hard to say last year's NAB Cup Grand Finalists were the Adelaide Crows (winners) and the West Coast Eagles. Both team's finished in the top 5, in 2011 Collingwood were the pre-season champion's with Essendon runners up, the Magpies eventually lost the main Grand final to Geelong whilst Essendon made the top 8 but were eliminated in week 1 of the final's.
So going by this Brisbane should be pushing for a final's birth this year after finishing 12th last year with 10 win's.
Watched the AFL Footy Show on Channel 9 the last 2 week's and Garry Lyon and Sam Newman both made a ladder prediction with both placing the Lion's to finish 13th.
Haven't finished with my ladder prediction yet but even though Brisbane was the only undefeated team in the NAB Cup and there is a lot to like about them at the moment 10th is about as high as I'm willing to put them at the moment (sorry Bill my old friend R.I.P miss you buddy) funny thing about footy and sport in general is that thing's rarely goes as predicted.
