I'm sure Malthouse will be very content and can finally rest easy now that he knows who it was who found him, trained him and groomed him
The only time Smart Missile and Hay List have been entered in the same race meeting was 9th April 2011 at Randwick when Hay List came 2nd by 2.8L to Black Caviar in the T J Smith [Group 1 ] .
Smart Missile was scratched from the Sires Produce [also Group 1 ] at the same meeting.
They have never run in the same race.
The opening sentence caught my attention. I genuinely don't know , but how many clubs would have their players arriving before 0730 ? Whether or not it is the norm , it certainly sends a message that the club means business.
I remember sitting in the old smoker's stand when Woewodin and an Essendon player were contesting the ball right in front of us . JohnnyHighPants made a beeline from the goal square . Fortunately , Woey saw the forearm and ducked so JHP took out his own player . He then turned and calmly trotted back to the goals , leaving his teammate out to it on the ground . I have had absolutely no respect for him since , I even turn him off on the telly.

Couldn't put it any better than the AFL Coach of The Century Himself !!
Hopefully , now Colin's had his one-on-one with the coach , and come face to face with the new regime and new set of expectations , this sort of situation will never happen again , and we will never know if he would have been
suspended .
