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

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

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

Think we have found a player in Tynan.

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.

How did he sneak onto this thread?

Will keep an eye out for it.

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

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.

Enjoying AFL 360. Good footy show.

They might have bigger issues to worry about.

I wouldn't argue with Moody.

If true Eddie would squash it , it is Collingwood after all.

Watching the perth games v bombers and the amount of soft free kicks to the perth teams is disgraceful, not to mention the obvious ones to the bombers being missed. This has to be the most difficult state to get a free if you are the visiting side. I thought the umpiring tonight was disgraceful and I don't even care. Maybe they are practicing as well. Oh well I'll try and make that my only umpire rant this year, if I can.

No Dispute scratched. BC wins again but against horses resuming from spells and was pushed by Hay List. 19 now but her next may be o/s. She will not run next week.

Can imagine the boys when they eventually get to sing their song, it's like a kids party song.

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

Will be too busy watching 2 of mine go around today Le Beau Cheval at 2.18 at Goulburn and Noble Game at 8.45 at Moonee Valley and then sunday No Dispute 4.12 at Bendigo. Hopefully they all go well. BTW go like "lightning" BC.

Who cares about the talk, Bailey did plenty of that. I care about how we play.

Other clubs will be in the same boat as us. Pies in round 2 might also be fairly under strength. This format is much better and fairer as you get to play in front of your fans a couple of teams on decnt grounds and you can try things out. This way you go all the way until the GF at least in the NAB cup and you can see it live or at least on TV. Don't think we really care where we finish as long as we get used to the game plan and try out a few new players.

There will be no draft countdown until after the season is over.

About 9 months. I can't find the date. May not be fixed yet. Wonder if we will activate our picks. I think we will.

We are nearly there. Nab cup starts this week. Fox Footy too. Dees Intra club friday. Discussion on the game straight after on Demonland. Here we go again.

There is a baby possum on my window ledge staring at me as I write this. I am going to give him an offer to go to Blacktown and join GWS. I hear the possums do really well up there.

Glen Boss thinks so.
