I sometimes get scared when I am in a paddock with a few yearlings that get a bit playful. Imagine riding a racehorse in a tight field at full gallop, just frightening.

They are tough.

Went to Etihad and enjoyed our first win there in years. Liked the look of Davis. Big strong boy who goes hard and can play. Think Joel Mac has been terrible and his turnovers unbelievable. Watts struggling a bit, but will come good. Loved the aggression from our players. We are a new side.

Good to see he was ok, it looked a terrible fall.

Better than the jockey. Damien Oliver got off and told the trainer it was one of his poorer rides and the horse was never given a chance. Finally got him out when last with 100m to go and he flew home for 6th. Hope he can win next time. Shows how dangerous it is when Oliver had a bad fall last night. Hopefully he is ok. Noble Game at 3.58 at Bendigo sunday and Man of Awe monday 1.35 Warnambool.

I hesitate to advise but Briefed at Sandown today at 3.58, should run well as track is softer for him.

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.
