Same but not regularly (The Cigar) ... however, the cheese platter & pinot is in full operation watching the Valley races And just in case others aren't aware, Ch7 are covering all the races on Saturday's from Melb & Syd for the whole year ... plus the SA & QLD carnivals. Great news!

2/3 parlay might be the go or even a win /place multi of sorts You'd imagine that all 3 can at least get into the finish

Your avatar has rocketed to numero uno!! And I believe there is the odd cigar smoker on this thread - great choice. Welcome back DZ! Best Bet Saturday Flemington R9 No.1 Aysar 5.50/1.90

Ha ha! They're all unraced so it's a shot in the dark, Gorg The Wizard King has come into 30-1 (7.00 the place)

@Gorgoroth @Dappa Dan @DeeSpencer @JV7 @Dee Zephyr @Go the Biff @titan_uranus @Clintosaurus @DemonDave @layzie Leaderboard - Tipping Comp 3 - Go the Biff, JV7 2 - Clintosaurus, Dee Zephyr 1 - Gorgoroth, DemonDave 0 - The Others We play for just the 1 point this week

Not my best bet but I reckon 'The Wizard King' (Race 1 No.8 Flemington - Saturday) is way over the odds at 66-1. Seems like the wrong price was put up ... opened at 90-1 Won its trial convincingly beating Cannonball by 5 lengths (Cannonball is 16-1 in R1 as well) I'm already on each-way but I'll be checking the fluctuations!!!

4 Group 1's this upcoming weekend with the Epsom & Metropolitan being open affairs

Replays of the G1's from the weekend (and the weekend prior)

How about the AFC West? Raiders 3 & 0, Broncos 3 & 0, Chargers 2 & 1 and Chiefs 1 & 2

The Toby Greene hearing/AFL appeal will be upon us soon enough

Agreed 1 or 2 weeks (normally) but double that because it's a GF As you said, he lined up Oliver with intent and there was contact to the head. The AFL can't even uphold their own rules And according to the rules it's a no-brainer ... a suspension of some sort should have followed

Ha ha ha! Only audio at my end but Rodgers is just Rodgers isn't he? Pre that Rodgers throw to set up the field goal attempt, I was more concerned about the Crosby kick There's a confidence in Rodgers that doesn't include him not getting it done

Pack Pack Pack!!! Crosby gets it done The extended weekend just keeps getting better & better! Big win in SF. Games that matter you've got to win

Winners are Grinners, GD!!! Party time! (in lockdown??? wtf)

That's true, but there is a good chance that next year at least a couple of other teams will improve like we have this season The FD will know that we can't rest on our laurels ... we might get a few long term injuries to a couple of our better players and a few might go off the boil. Competition for spots needs to be fierce so all things considered, we need to add some talent to the list And a few players (or more) need to stay for a bit less money ... but if we do lose a player or 2, we need to play hard-ball with regards to trading And when you're in a position of strength, that can all happen

That can often be the reaction but it might be related to not being completely satisfied with just the one premiership Yes we were clearly the best team this year but who doesn't want more of the same? That's my overwhelmimg reaction but it's not anticlimactic in my case More so a hunger for more success. All the Tiger & Hawk supporters I know are the same. Never satisfied The selfish gene at work and greed is good, AF!

Not that it made a skerrick of difference but there were a few obvious errors that in the end, evened itself out (although, it must be said, we did lead the free kick count 19-13) The high tackle on Kossie, hands in the back against Brown not paid, holding the man to Brown for a 'lingering' tackle and the mark to May not paid You win big by having having high talent levels, a solid & flexible game plan and top level coaching Be 5 goals better than any opposition and you've got nothing to worry about Enjoying the win immensely but if we're to contend again we still need to improve in all those aforementioned areas. Recruit with real intent for starters

#freekickmelbourne Ha ha ha ha ha!

Baltimore, Arizona, Seattle

Bowey plays tall in a quite remarkable way and as you said, his kicking is a great asset already. Very quick vision to see a target ... and quick disposal. Not too shabby for 7 games played Could be quite a player of the future. We traded up in the draft to snare him and his acquisition looks to be another Taylor gem Kept Hunt out of the team which was no mean feat. A lot to like

This story might have been posted elsewhere on this site but these 2 likely lads have made such a difference Melbourne dynamic duo Clayton Oliver and Christian Petracca's journey from junior footy teammates to AFL grand final

Norm Smith was involved 8 times where we played 1 game in a month during the finals 7 flags and only 1 loss (1958) Rest, recuperation, astute planning and fresh legs How about that 2nd half!

It has sunk in but I'm a bit lost for words rjay. But anyway ... Just posted on 'ology about the crowd support in the stadium. Demons everywhere and the WA folk have done exceptionally well They should be rightfully proud of themselves. What a great country we live in where others can take up the slack like the Western Australians have We will forever remember how they embraced our team and our victory And well done to the WA people here on this site. You guys did a mighty job. Kudos As for the team, others are saying it for me ... like, love & thanks emoji's comin' your way!

Haven't seen a race but listened in ... seems Zaaki did it easily and Anamoe couldn't quite get there. Remarque dropped away Had a mixed day but got a few late collects to break even
