AFL Insider is pretty good too Redleg. Bit of analysis of the game and strategies, which is very good.

Won't watch it because that liar Lynch appears. My son in law said after Lynch retired he went up to him to congratulate him on his career and he turned his back on him. He has the right to be rude and lie if he want's to but I don't have to watch him on TV.

    NAB cup squad appears to be falling away. 3 more out today, Morton, Blease and JT. Looks like the rookies will get a go.

    The new TV series called "Luck" may appeal to those who follow horse racing . Not sure when it will hit our shores but it's quite popular in the States .

    I appreciate that some around here frown on political discussion on this thread but with the Gillard/Rudd battle coming up on Monday I think this becomes appropriate in the circumstances:-

    hahaha, very appropriate, Jack

    Might have one of the cooler days in summer on GC today, also wet. May help us a bit. Interested to see if new game style is evident. Coach says it will be.

    Also think Stefan Martin has some real X factor, even though the conditions certainly didn't favour him tonight.

    Le Beau Cheval 3rd at 56 to 1, better run, but he looks limited to me.

    Just won his first at canberra today at 20 to 1. Has improved 2 starts since gelding.

    He just needs some time.

    His agility for a big man leaves him sooooo close to being able to stooge defenders like a Buddy Franklin would, but he is just not quite there yet.

    He nearly dodged Adcock last night ,which is ridiculous given his size . I think he will have a VERY good year .

    Nineteen. But don't let on to the Biffenator. He's a big Sepoy fan. Apparently according to Biffen, Black Caviar has been avoiding Sepoy. If you want to talk racing or BC - there is a Black Caviar thread in Sports. Redleg, you might want to add some input on BC.

    Didn't actually say that HT .Do bookies pay you to tout things this far in the red or are you just a safety officer ? Fact is they wont race each other .

    Biff, refer you to your own posts on " Black Caviar " thread on "Other Sports "

    #14 : Black Caviar is dodging decent opposition "

    #17 : " Sepoy and her [sic] are dodging each other "

    #19 : " Moody places her in fields where Sepoy isn't "

    #24 : " Just a point of fact mate . They are avoiding each other for now "

    BTW , Sepoy [ who is a fine, fine horse ] really carved them up in the Oakleigh Plate yesterday.

    Well beaten by several mollydee. Good research too on the Biffenator.

    He's probably right about them not racing one another. Sepoy will have to step up to face the BC. Oakleigh Plate form suggests there's better opposition anyway after having the sit of the race.

    A considered comment for discussion - by Round 12 we might have 2 wins.

    I thought it was a poor ride for a horse with a lot of weight.

    Apologies guys, I arrived in Brisbane just as the rain hit up there and returned to Melbourne as the storms hit last night, I think it's following me again.

    The fact is that Sepoy is 3 ,already carrying top weight in Group1's .and is yet to peak . He didn't really have a chance to sit ,and the speed came from the back .You go and put all your money on BC then .Your favourite mare is a great sprinter .Tip me something less obvious to win and we'll see .You think Sepoys run was that bad-you know nothing about racing then .

    HT -they still haven't raced each other have they? Fact.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
