It was almost like old times at Princes Park on Saturday afternoon. All that was needed was the results of the other five games on the old scoeboard, the raffle results and of course the quaddie. Perhaps the club could organise for someone to walk along the boundary selling peanuts in paper bags to really bring back the memories.
Below are some of the reactions from the practise match.

Carlton wasted chances in the early part of both the first and last terms; similar to its effort against Collingwood in the opening NAB Cup match.
”I think it was a reality check that the game goes for the full 120 minutes and work-rate is really important,” Carlton coach Brett Ratten said. ”It probably just leaves a bit of a sour taste in the mouth [after] an outstanding pre-season.
”We knew we’d feel a bit heavy in the legs but I just thought across the board, we shouldn’t have lost that game and we did.”

Yonniboys pics as usual are great.
