Only four of those blokes know what they are talking about. And even they only get it half right.

A Day at the Races
Last Friday, just before the bombers game. I actually suggested the bet on a DL thread and advised if keen people should get on before the ess game as if they were to lose would come into about 1.80. I was pretty close!

A long time DZ. They do not have the pace to hurt us on the outside and we have them covered on contested ball, which is really the cornerstone of their 'brand 'and has been for many years. That said 1.45 is short. But as we both know the odds are perhaps the most reliable indicator of the relative chances in any given game.

That all i want. Or else what is the point? For example i might say i have it on good authority Tmac has done his foot again. And leave it at that.

Can the 'Tap On' marking contest tactic be a solution to our inside 50 conversion woes?
I'm sure i saw Hogan flick one back to Oliver who goaled against the dogs

I've joked about posting such comments without any indication of the source (even vague ones) that give readers some capacity to make an assessment of the reliability of the information is against the DL code of conduct. But perhaps those jokes were a little passive aggressive So i'm going to change tack. If you are going to post comments as serious in implication as this include a [censored] source!!!!!

Tom McDonald?
Something along the lines that he would NEVER make a forward....

POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 19
Just watching the rep[lay and they had a shot of lever and viney in a box near the start of the 3rd q. Lever has whiteboard in front of him and marker in hand. The whiteboard her the following written on it down one side: Moneyball Boost Aerial Tackle Team What on earth does that all mean?

Tom McDonald?
Not sure he is better than the OX. but he is damn good. We haven't had a player since Neitz who comes close. unfortunately Jessie is grabbing themselves with the same regularly but will i think. Easy to forget he is still young. TMac has something others don't as well. He has a unique ability to come from behind without making body contact and marking almost uncontested. Standard play is to keep your forward under the ball or manourve him with your body. As Prodee pointed out at the time, that peanut Bretron actually criticised him for it in the first crows game - even though he took the mark! He also must be super strong as he often holds of players with one hand.

A better mark than neita. There was period where neita couldn't catch a cold.

Tom McDonald?
Quite relevant i reckon. I could have picked any number of quotes but grabbed these two (which happened to be concurrent) from back in 2015, when TMac was 22, from Praha and Mooshadow, respectively: 'He's only 22 but has 70+ games experience. That's interesting because young players tend to hit their strides around the 50-70 game mark, once they have a feel for the speed and hardness of the game' 'TMac is having a few poor games after numerous blinders earlier in the season. Big guys take more than 70 games to reach their peak, and as others have said he's only 22' Both quotes have proven to be correct and TMac is now a monster. Omac is only 22 and has 55 games. Big future and again as i have said a number of times will be a 200 plus game player for us..

Tom McDonald?
I for one 100% agree. As i have said a few times I think he is ahead of where his brother was at the same stage. Certainly a better kick. Not as quick i guess. But more reliable.

And Omac. Our most reliable kick down back. Dr Cool rarely misses a target.

Blimey. Is that picture safe for work?

A Day at the Races
g'day punters, I can feel it in the air, the unmistakable spring vibe. One of my favourite times of year. Love the couple of months before the spring carnival starts in earnest. My mate and i usually start back up on our spring campaign in mid to late August so soon now. Can't wait. In the man time will have to content myself with the dees still being in finals contention. I might post my bets footy bet of the round on a Friday for the last few games and finals. I like my bet now of the swans to miss the finals at $3. Had an up and won footy betting season but have made a profit so can't complain. Was well up this round coming into Sunday's game and then managed to get them ALL wrong to break even.

Unless you are Richmond an the only injury issue you have actually becomes the key to winning a flag - having big men go down early in the 2017 season forced them to go small in the forward line and presto anew flag winning model was born!

Hats off to our defensive unit for keeping us in the game in rhe first half. As (most) people understand very hard to contain teams that are dominating contestedvand incontested ball the eau crows were doing If the back six did not do such a good job we easily could have ben 4-5 goals down.
