It’s Spargo’s 3rd game today. We’d be happy with four from him but he should be aiming at 8 goals ?.

Good luck with the multi, nice one. Is the Cats v Pies game at Geelong?

Indeed. I forgot the game was on today......still raining heavily here. Saw Darren Weir got the first at Morphetville for a lazy $5.00. When are they going to do a film about him~!

Yes the Cats are down at Cat Park, hence its pretty good thing on a wet day i would think.

    James Joyce gets a winner, quinella and trifecta from his 4 picks in race 3. I liked Manuel too.

    Dan Zephyr into $12 fixed from $26 in the last 10 minutes. It wasn’t me.

    A lot of money came for the horse but it weakened to finish well back.

    I’ve noticed a lot of our Best Bets for a particular weekend pop us as winners in following starts. Osbourne Bulls a few minutes ago, Hear The Chant earlier today, French Emotion last week at very good odds mind you. Might have to do a scroll through all our picks so far to see how they back-up.

    That might not be a bad idea. Like a Black Book of our bets. Where did Osborne run? Missed that.

    Scone Wadda, paid around $2.20. Was in heavy traffic toward the back, found some gaps upon straightening and finished off with a brilliant burst nearer the rail.

    Love it!!  The DL Black Book!

    Ended up slightly in front for the day landing 2 doubles but it could have been a real bumper day - Demons winning easily was a good end to proceedings though.

    The dividends in the Doomben 10000 were quite remarkable when factoring in the quality of horses that got into the finish.  All it needed was for the 2 favoured horses to finish out of the top 3.  But English,  Impending & Le Romain are all class gallopers.

    Ok, so our strike rate needs to be updated. Do we start a Black Book? Go Dees.

    @Wadda We Sing  @Dee Zephyr  @binman 

    Found 3 races this weekend that are likely candidates for our combined trifecta - amongst them the 'Roma Cup' from Ascot that has a quality field from the mostly local WA horses. 

    The G1 Goodwood has a field of 20 comprising a number of crack sprinters whilst the G1 Doomben Cup has some classy runners as well. 

    At this time of year I'll restrict my betting to these 3 races only but more so 2-5-5-5  First4's.  A small outlay to hopefully win big ?

    Yep ... the Doomben Cup seems an easier proposition all things considered.

    We're due for a change of order for the trifecta combo as well.

    How does this look - we all rotate one spot and we go with the new order for 4 weeks (?)

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
