Thanks for this, quite interesting. There’s a longer video on the MFC site which goes into a bit more depth about it with Ben Matthews having a bit of a chat. Is it me or does it seem there’s a lot more content from the club this year as opposed to last from Maroochydore?

Trac v Milkshake is shaping up as a beauty.

Well, some interesting results in the EPL midweek. Late Llorente magic completes Spurs’ comeback, Leicester being the pesky side they are holding Liverpool to a point at Anfield, Man City ruing a loss at Tyneside, Man U using a get out of jail free card late on for a point at home and what can you say about Chelsea.....4 second half goals to Bournemouth. This isn’t over by a long shot.

That’s some next level scheduling, I’m surprised their Round 2 game of that year hasn’t been shown, it was a bit closer than 20 points.

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.

Reading a few articles now, sounds really ugly.

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.

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.

My mistake dc. Went back and had a look at the tweet i read at midday. Was getting ready for it. @VSchwarz9 Ollie Wines has entered Sportsmed for minor surgery, his shoulder injury not as bad as feared. It’s believed he will be back in 6-8 weeks. @9NewsAdel

9 reporting he’s had minor surgery. They are saying a 6-8 week return.

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

A Fox Sports article today talks about what each club should be excited about in 2019. This was our talking point. MELBOURNE: Everything.

I’d say he was given permission. Just found it a tad comical that some Port fans are claiming Wines isn’t committed to the club because he attended a close friend’s wedding.

Is it true Wines missed a Port training session or some kind of club function to attend Viney’s wedding?

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.

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.

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.

Cornes isn’t letting up on Wines.
