Tough day as Derby Day always is. Best Bet: Flemington Race 6 Number 15 Amphitrite $4.60

Bears, Chiefs, Texans

It will be interesting to see how we approach the Saints game in terms of personnel. We would have to go best 22 available for the Saints game you would think and hope our recovery team have the boys ready to go 4 days later for a huge game.

58 minutes and counting. Woo hoo!!

Great day coming up Macca. I read in an article the other day 5 of the 9 favourites in early betting for Derby Day are NSW raiders. DK Weir says bring it on. The Best Bet will be a tricky proposition this week. I’m leaning towards Amphitrite again in a tough race. Dean Yendall is the light weight specialist.

So the AFL have finally got their shite together, full fixture revealed today yeah? AFL must be the only sport in the world boring their fans with teasers.

I’m just waiting for a mate!

When was the last time we won at the SCG?

The Giant Cromulon.

Agree Macca, it was a very good win. I liked the way the jockey just pushed through the field from the jump and led them up. Interesting to see where they go from here, trainer said sometimes with four year old geldings you just have to go through the grades. Wait and see I guess although I’d love the horse to get a win for mate in town. It’s been a while for them.

EL sets a new track record (57.27) at Sale. A bit short in price for my liking but pleased to see the horse get a win. It probably didn’t want another 50 metres as the second runner was closing hard. Understandable though after running a quick time. Dan Zephyr received a mention by the trainer in the post-race interview. That was a pleasant surprise, the Zeph is still in people’s thoughts.

Cheers, I thought Sunday twilight games no matter where they are played always commenced at 4:40 AEST, or is it different in the early rounds? Pretty boring looking round anyway, we’ll just have to enjoy our replay from Saturday arvo right through until Sunday night.

So the Freo v North game would be 5:20pm AEST? I hope Sunday twilights don’t change from the already horrible time slot of 4:40

It could be just me but it doesn’t seem an exciting opening round overall for the neutral unless Dylan Shiel receives a hostile reception at Spotless, highly doubtful though. Was hoping for a ‘bigger’ opener for us, oh well. Welcome back Jack(s).

Cyril has competition now.

Can’t see the $1.40 lasting too long on the tote for Winx.

Both on the money guys. ?

Sorry 56, no idea.

Someone mentioned in another thread that we have apparently met with him. He’s tough at it, that’s for sure. I’d be happy if the club was keen.

Maybe a couple of questions about his playing career which seems one of perseverance. Undrafted originally, traded, delisted then drafted by Port with one of the last picks which led to the ultimate glory. Seems a long time ago and it would be great to hear about his determination to succeed. How did it feel having a premiership medallion around his neck?

Goodness me! Maybe some threads should have an enter at your own risk sign at the front.

What a legend! Imagine a 27 year old Bernie running around with Clarrie, Gus, Viney and Harmes next year.

G’day Macca. There’s a strong chance the horse will be scratched tomorrow. They will go like last week’s pay in this 955m dash and being drawn in the middle might present some difficulties in terms of where to settle the horse. Not an ideal first-up race. Too much pressure I believe. ‘El’ has also accepted at Sale in the last race on Sunday. This presents a better first-up assignment, less pressure and a bigger track. Prize money is obviously much better tomorrow night but the aim is to have him firing for the whole campaign. Edit: They weren’t expecting to make the Moonee Valley field with the low rating but when they did it would’ve generated some strong discussion for the best and most logical option.
