Nice heads up there Macca. The horse was scratched this morning. Adelaide track still a heavy 8 so I’m considering skipping past Domination in Race 7. The $1.95 is too short now for my liking. Back soon with another ‘Best’.

That’s even better than a pummeling, talk on the Geelong boards is they can’t wait to meet the Tigers in the finals.

Sick Sick joke!

Oh be quiet Bruce, yes we remember what happened to Melbourne....

Fair point Doc. I was thinking more along the lines of the standard we will produce after a 4-5 day break on such a big occasion. Our last two against Essendon have been stinkers on the back of really short breaks.

Long night for the Cats if the Nank is kicking them like that.

Thanks Macca, update greatly appreciated. Back to the form guide.....I have another picked in Adelaide but the track condition will need to improve quickly for me to make it a ‘Best’.

This is the point King was making on 360 during the week. He can’t understand the difference between ‘restricted’ and ‘ unrestricted’ for the same reasons you mention DJ.

If Brisbane do get the Thursday night against Pies, Pies will have a full week’s break heading into Anzac Day. How convenient!

The article suggests Brisbane will request the Thursday night game before Good Friday with Pies touted as a likely opponent. Surely the AFL can’t have Brisbane on that night. If we or Richmond play on the Saturday the break isn’t long enough heading into Anzac Eve.

Daisy makes you love her even more. "How about you get the women's competition right before you go into these Chinese frontiers and AFLX."

Best Bet: Mooney Valley Race 8 Number 3 Trap For Fools. $2.30 Former WA galloper having fourth run in and should be hitting his straps fitness wise. Has improved each run this campaign and has some excuses in those runs. By the look of it there’s not much pace here, the horse should be able to lead with Rawiller dictating the tactics and hopefully we see the famous dash away from rivals on the home turn.

What actually suits us better tomorrow? I initially thought a Hawks win. Bombers could be killed off tomorrow. Hawks still to play Geelong, Sydney and Saints somewhere in between. Dons have Saints, Richmond and Port away. Busy Saturday coming up. 4 big non MFC games from 1.45pm.

Four weeks to go and it’s been hard to watch some games this year but a lot of us will be tuning in for the last month. No downer this week for Richmond, Tigers by 27. Haw v ESS. Can’t stand both of them. The arrogance of ESS supporters at work have me wearing my brown and gold hat on for tomorrow. They have penciled the R23 game against Port as the game that will get them in the finals. Breust to kick 6 and Uber the Bombers back to Tullamarine. Lions v Kangas. Lions are definitely not playing for draft picks. Higgins a big out, tough game for North. The Showdown. Crows anyone? Syd v Coll. Feel good story with Johnson returning, Pies missing Howe. Can’t pick this one. Someone suggested a draw on another thread for this game so draw it is, just to confuse us even more.

Since we are talking Swans binman, I had a look at the early market for our game against them. I realise the one week at time cliche but realistically speaking most of us are looking down the track ( not necessarily punt wise). We are $1.45, Swans $2.75 If we get up this week and Swans lose our odds will reduce further in my opinion. When was the last time we were that short against the Swans?

We had one particular poster label Jesse as pathetic and a disgrace for a month yet Goody sounds very happy with his form up to last week.

A thought for Gold Coast. What will their number look like next year if they lose Lynch ( highly likely) and May ( possibility)?

We’re back to the extended benches tonight. In: Kent, Weid, AVB, Hannan, Pedersen Out: Milkshake

Did you try the Demons on Masterchef thread? Could be in there, I remember a funny post but not sure if it’s the same one you’re talking about.

Melbourne FC @melbournefc Goodwin on Melksham: It looks like only the one week - it’s a really minor hamstring strain. He should recover really quickly.

He’s played 4 games since returning Layzie.

The Richmond increase is ridiculous. From April to now they increased by a further 10%. I believe one game memberships were sold. Do they count?

What was the message at quarter time and how good was our defence when we weren’t playing our best footy early and were only 9 down with 8 or 9 less inside 50s? Oh, was there a wind blowing Adelaide’s way in the last?

Harmesy twice in a couple of months. Nice work, you have a regular now.

That would be ideal. You’re right, if ESS get done this week it’s unlikely they’ll beat Rich and Port both in the last two weeks. The bookies have the Lions favourites this week against North. Do we want Sydney or Pies to win? A Sydney loss and us winning gives us a real chance for breathing space. On the other hand Top 4 is a real possibility with a Pies loss. I know we can’t look too far ahead and all we need to do is keep winning but it can’t be helped.
