Rules, Rules and more Rules.

I’ll tip a roughie later.

Now that's a good idea ... there's always a lot of value about on an each-way basis. 

And the value at the Valley can be the on pace runners who get a cushy run.  I'm also weary of backmarkers who draw an inside alley.

Im happy to go with @Biffen roughie selection every week if he wants to do it that way. It can be in any race, i just wont put it in the multi. Simple.

As for JV7s selection,. i thought we didnt want 2 selections in 1 race?.......again i dont really care, but make up your minds.

It'll figure itself out over time Wadda ... we can just use any of the tips as we see fit. 

2 leg doubles is my preference so if we have 5 or more tips then one doesn't have to necessarily use them all.  Even out-out win bets such as 'I am Superman' last week can give a good return.

As an example I have got How Womantic & Surprise Baby in a one-out double from our selections.  Gator likes both of them as well and he's often on the money.

Still worth a coffee on all of them in a big multi but again,  my preference is to pick the eyes out of the selections.  We could use a roughie pick for the place in a multi as well.  That's how I might use that type of tip.

I can see your point about multiple selections in the one race but again,  it'll figure itself out once everyone knows how it all works.

I don't believe we'll have a repeat of the previous double-ups.

Is 'Nature Strip' over the line in the Concorde Stakes? (Race 4 Randwick)  The odds would suggest so but the horse is not always at its best first up.

I've taken out a F4 in the race and I give Dirty Work & Gytrash a show in the race.

And the Chelmsford Stakes (Race 7) is an open race ... Paul Joice has picked 'Angel of Truth' to win (5-1) so that might do me.  At its best Avilius would win this but can it find its best form?  Life Less Ordinary at 20-1 provides some real value in the race.  Spec pick?

My fault I actually didn't read the rules until after I had posted... I'll be going each way on this one personally but for this multi I'll go the place.

Ok -Thanks for the opportunity to be the roughy tipster.

In search for value I went to Kilmore .Race 8 Number 2-Drain The Swamp. Showing 26-1 fixed TAB. 

In the same race I like a boxed Trifecta 1,2,3,13.

A quick scan of the Metro meetings didn't really show much value.

I'll try to pick something over 15-1 each week.

I look froward to the team multi .

Go you good things!!!

Not sure if anyone is into betting outside the metro meetings but got a strong tip for Hawkesbury Race 7 #5 Gunnamatta @ $3.50 atm

Yeah no problem with that at all, cast your net into the sea! You can go to HK or anywhere else also if you spot something. Macca often posts some international meetings and we were all over Ascot earlier this year.

We also have been following Night of Thunder horses, since its now the leading sire in Europe and its progeny do very well and often win at good odds. They are starting to get to Australia and hence my selection in River Night. Cherry Tortoni is one good example. We post them up here from time to time.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
