A Day at the Races
What a mess! Seems like dd above was on the money, ongoing investigations for a while from what I have read. It makes me feel for the smaller trainers even more now, the ones that do the right thing and yet they are forced to quit the game or move their base to some location you’ve never heard of just to maintain the business most likely unsuccessfully as well. When I say small I mean a trainer that has a handful of horses in a stable. How can you compete with a trainer that has up to 4-5 horses in a race sometimes? I remember trainers getting sick of Waller in Sydney a couple of years ago, it was like spot the non-Waller horse in the field. Here’s a question i heard on the radio. How many punters say at Mornington today would have thought twice about having a bet? Not many probably is my guess. It would be great if they cleaned all this out, but how do you do that? There’s corruption in just about every sport and banning wagering like I heard on the radio today won’t fix the problem.

Round 1 team 2019
I know your not the biggest OMac fan 56, I think he deserves a little more credit than some give him. From memory, he was our only tall defender in the team against Port last year and kept Dixon to 1.1 and played 100% of that game. That was last year of course, with 6-6-6 it could change the set-up down back, but I’d still back OMac ahead of Frost.

Foxtel "Classic matches"
Recently had 6 weeks off and tuned in regularly to see if we were on. I saw us once, a 113 point defeat to Norf in R17 1996, real bloody classic.

Will Dixon play Round 1? I thought he was still recovering from the broken ankle.

AFLX Revamped
Does anyone know how this actually works in regards to how players get nominated for the draft? Do clubs list a certain amount available? Only thing I know is a limit of four players will be eligible from each club. I reckon we’ll hear Fritta’s name get called out.

Impact of rule changes
It will be interesting to see in a tight finish as you say, whether teams alter their back 6 or forward lines by throwing extra talls/smalls down there for the last 30 seconds or so after a go ahead goal. Obviously you’d prefer to win the clearance or hold it up as you suggest above with ruckman grabbing the ball to allow some kind of time to get numbers back, but say you lose the clearance quickly. Clubs would be practising these situations and have plans in place. I don’t think there would be much time to react to how the opposition sets up forward of centre in the dying seconds. I’m picturing some mayhem and mismatches in tight finishes this season.

Round 1 team 2019
A bit surprising to read Wines trained today RG. There was footage of Wines running around at training this morning in the rehab group with no strapping on either shoulder. I guess we’ll soon find out the extent of the damage.

Clubs Must Dread This Time of Year - Injuries
Training mishaps are common and it’s purely bad luck if you lose a player on the track so close the start of a season. I guess sometimes we as supporters dread reading training reports for that reason. You’d be peeved if you were Port though, had a read of the Alberton forums just to see how divided the opinion was. Yes, players have a life outside football, but when you’re favourite to become the club’s captain should you be taking care of your body by not exposing it to such risk? The scans could clear Wines of serious damage after all that, I would just prefer Viney kept playing Fortnite on his time off.

I let it ride Macca, for some reason TAB didn’t have the 1-13 markets in the NFL game markets, if they did I couldn’t find it. Took the Chiefs head to head.

Back with a bang! Must say, I enjoyed that race, in amongst the obstructed view from those beautiful trees, Zontario ran like it was in the 55 second challenge. What a win at The Rock!
