12 legs! 

Did you win enough to purchase the MFC Gorg?

We need someone of good standing to get in there and clean the joint out.  Drain the swamp or whatever!

Not sure I fit the category as “good standing” ha ha

I had a couple of SGM's on for the Port vs North game too and both fell over by one leg!

Higgins +20 touches, ended on 19 and Duursma +15 touches, ended on 14.

I swear my SGM's are cursed, I'm the master of falling over by one leg!!

Yeah I needed Houston and Amon to have a good second Half, Houston got his 15th late in the last and 4 that I had for 15 ended on 15 or 16. 
I missed one earlier this year, 13 legs, last leg was Hill for 15, 12 at 3/4 time vs the crows and got 0 in the last. Killed me.

    Sunshine Coast Race 2 Number 1 ( in 30 mins) Maybach was previously trained by Waterhouse and best mate had a share in it up in Sydney. Sold it up North and haven’t been following it since it went up there, just noticed it was running. Not sure anyone would want to take the short odds though. It’s one tough horse and can stay all day.

    Italian GP qualifying is also on right now if that's your scene.

    I've got a few quid on Aussie Dan to make it through to Q3.

    I will have a look at Monza tonight Rollin, i see Dan is 7th on the grid. He was storming home last week eating up about 12 seconds in 3 laps, but the commentators seemed to miss it? Not sure why he didnt do that earlier, my only guess is tyre wear......

    I was on Miss Guggenheim as well JV.  Well done again for the tip ...  Damien Oliver is the one.  Boots 'em home

    Nice way to start the day!

    (I might add that I picked up 3 decent collects at Haydock last night so I'm on a roll this weekend)

    Haven't got any standouts at Sha Tin today other than to recommend that it's best to look for a bit of value. 

    First race meeting back after 2 months so the formline is scratchy.  Maybe a medium wide quaddie but don't forget to include the Purton & Moreira mounts.

    Your multis are amazing Gorgo....do you give classes? :)

    I like to take a few horses into a few Afl/Nrl games over a couple of days usually, so theyre slow burners but do ok sometimes. I find about 6 legs is the max for me. Had some good returns, but not consistent enough.

    Ha ha, they are very hot or miss, mainly miss. NFL time I usually look at one multi of 8-10 games and then one of all games. Much harder.

    Ollie couldn't get Cetshwayo out in the 4th race at Geelong ... ended up starting favourite too so was a moral beaten.

    But you win some you lose some.  We race tight in Oz so the gaps often just don't appear

    That's racing.

    Such a good jockey is Oliver ... didn't ride a winner yesterday but making up for it today.

    3 winners already today after getting Carrie over the line in the 6th race.  Got it in a couple of multi's.

    Oh so its not just me then....thats good.. :)

    Feel free to post up any good multis. I love them.

    We started another thread called Monkey Business a while back, to chat about punting on all other sports apart from racing. But its just as easy to post stuff here i guess?

    There's always one!  I've gone away from the exotics a bit for that reason RF. 

    Same principle applies to the bigger multi's.  2 legs does me these days with the occasional 3 or 4 leg multi. 

    Big odds at 200-1 was I'll Be Gone ... just got pipped too.  You often wonder how a horse can be that much of a long shot.  It's form wasn't all that bad (all things considered)

    No no no Wadda! ?

    This is a thread for the thoroughbreds

    The last thing we need are people complaining about missing out on their sporting multi's by one leg.

    Now and again is ok as there is always some natural crossover but we don't want to turn the thread into a pure gambling thread.

    The Monkey Business thread exists for a reason.

    I should have passed on my Sha Tin tips ... 2 winners and a double already. 

    But you know what,  I pass them on and they then lose.  That's how it works. 

    Think I'll stick to the one Saturday tip and maybe one other on another day.

    Maybe obvious here but the wraps on the thing that won the last at GEELONG today are huge.

    It was texted to anyone that ever punted  before the Maiden win at Sale and got smashed into evens.

    Won today at 1.45-1 like a Champion in the making.

    You should never say anything could be the next Winx but I think it could be the next Winx.

    BAROCHA.

    Did it with ease.

    Apparently it was meant to be called Barocca but someone misspelt the name on application.

    But Barocca never worked anyway ... another great con job of the 20th century.  Hair of the dog or a greasy hamburger did the trick.

    Will watch Barocha with interest though.  Big call Biff but you never know.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
