    Sepoy lost to Smart Missile who then went on to beat Hay List .

    On the way to greatness is different to "The Greatest" . Sepoy is a baby .BC is 5 and lightly raced (against weak opponents ). Good to see you read up and then come back with some more info . Moody places her in fields where Sepoy isn't . Keep on her though- you'll make a fortune if you've already got one . Otherwise ,tell us something new . We'll see her at a mile when Moody grows a pair -I suggest you jump off then .
  3. This one is going around in a circular fashion .
  4. Martin will be a gun. Go Stef.
  5. If it was a perfect pass then it shouldn't have been taken over a pack .Nest pas?
  6. I reckon he does. Hence the Two Jacks getting the nod .Keep going Neeldy!!!!!!

    Ratings schmatings . She has beaten Hay List . Sepoy and her are dodging each other . That will be a test . I'm not saying she isn't great . I'm saying she isn't the best until she beats the best . So You think would kill her at the mile- that would be a race .(Although Aiden O'B has butchered him ) Can you deny she has been placed in races far below her quality for soft kills? Front running , back slapping ,hyping her up is great but she hasn't been tested . So you admit she has had soft fields because they dodge her? Agreed . Bring on Sepoy at 1400 to a mile and we'll talk about best after that . Ratings take in win / loss record. If she carries 60 in a GP 1 against Sepoy and wins then I'll listen to bandwagon boys like you lot . Carbine was the best ever. EVERY other OZ/Kiwi champ is from his blood . Black Caviar is merely on the way to greatness .
  8. Doesn't hurt to have a few beers with your mates -it's not illegal yet .
  9. Kind of agree I must say . LG is a corporate [censored] designed to alienate individuals who wish to remain so . The only positive may be the reverse psychology effect on BM BG Riv et al . One strong leader will emerge . I think JT has shown it with his play and his contract announcement when a certain skunk was stinking up the club .

    Sure she is a great mare. But the wheels will fall off the bandwagon if she goes over more than a mile . Currently as good as Takeover Target or Vain but she is not the best ever . Have a look at Carbine, Phar Lap's grand sire on both sides . The Greatest Ever against quality and large fields in big races at high weights . Black Caviar is dodging decent opposition- or there isn't any good enough for her . Credit to Moody for placing her in soft , winnable races . Hard to compare her against the greatest but time and distance will tell if she steps up . Northerly , Vain , Saintly , Tulloch , Kingston Town , TT , Phar Lap, Makybe Diva and Phar Lap are perhaps better although defeated in their careers .
  11. Jumbo ,I can get you the grass it's just the finals that are tough to find .
  12. The human psyche is naturally inclined to look for symbols, stars ,and a hero . In the words of Tina Turner- we dont need another hero . We need 22 of them .
  13. Even HT used the word G-d here. This place is going to hell .
  14. Jokes are not permitted . This is life and death.
  15. To the contrary-he is not here to make mates and play favourites with club stalwarts . Amateurish is the best way to describe the attempted coup on CS . Those associated with it have had the unnecessary burden of politics removed from them . Good job too. The slate is now clean. Redemption awaits those that feel aggrieved .
  16. I agree with the decision 100% I agree with the decision to oust Jnr I agree with the whole new for old policy . As for the way bad news has been delivered by our club. I don't think there is a nice way to say it . The important thing is it has been said. Actions count-words do not . The old leadership group can show the way onfield . Green will be the professional he is paid to be . I wish Jnr all the very best with his new mates. Progress we wanted and progress we shall have .
  17. Bate can get a kick at least -and he is effective by hand if not always by foot . Dunno about Fitzy-not enough time to judge . Apparently Morton has done some promising beep tests .That's all I'll say . JB will hit his straps this year .
  18. I've given up Morton bashing but I will say this..... Men are men and boys are boys. Trengove is the complete package Grimes will always be picked if fit Watts will be an absolute champion . Morton owes the MFC We owe him nothing ,except the opportunity to improve himself-alot . Anyone can "lose their man" and hope the contest gets won. Its terrible ,unaccountable ,unacceptable ,embarrassing ,demeaning , cheap and selfish. I only hope he was under instruction from Bailey and that those instructions are nullified . I formed this opinion playing CHB and full back . Half my job was to yell at flashy and loose mids and treat them like the glory hunters they were . Cannot stand "outside" players. Netball is a good game for that . Cale Morton needs a defined role , some defensive tactics and some belief .Bailey let him down. Neeld may give him the confidence to be all he can be .
  19. Does that include the tragics on this site that think they are "in the know". I think it does . There's something in that for all of us- even the former leadership group who are now not . Once the season begins -there is only 1 general and all the rest are soldiers .
  20. All right enough of this .BM is actually the least of our problems .Perhaps he can improve as he does every year .As Martin Flanagan said in yesterdays paper he is the heart and soul of our club and actually barracked for us as a kid so he knows the history .Why don't we pick apart the guys like Morton and Gysberts-who never put a block on for him .CM is one guy that should thank god he is still on a list . Brent , as has been said ,would walk into any team in the comp.Can he get better? Yes we/he can! By the way ,I don't want to keep up bagging our own .Morton has another crack ,has 80 games to his name ,should be doing the business now and has not done the business so far .I think he lacks confidence and just needs a breakout game . Consider Moloneys losing performances in light of the guys he has had to protect and let run free under our stupid plan last year .There will be no "outside/inside " this year . Everyone is inside till we have the pill .Any BM knockers here ever won a an AFL B&F ?
  21. Burgo was painful- get real .Suburban and witless , looking like a gushing sister in every interview . Robbos a natural lair and a charmer with enough confidence in himself to make it fun to watch . Thanks Burgo- honest and sincere effort but bland .
  22. These days there are theories on when a team should physically peak during a season . I'd like us to win from the start and keep on winning and getting better . Players need to make it a habit and a right to win every time they walk out .
