A live training report. Brilliant! Is Balic out there? Many thanks @dazzledavey36

Saints are slashing ticket prices to attract AFL fanatics for Friday night’s blockbuster during a sale period commencing tomorrow morning. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Adult tickets down to $13 from $25 and if you prefer level 2 behind the goals you’ll be $45 out of pocket instead of $75. * Please note: I didn’t make this up.

No problem mate. Looking forward to the report.?

Yes, parking can be a bit tricky.

Website states 9.45 this morning Dazzle.

I want him to win it for the acceptance speech alone.

The Saints have another 2 Friday night games after this one.

‘ Outback Warrior’ & ‘Gold Mag’ were impressive in their debuts and won by decent margins Macca. Both show ability, but like you said there’s a number of lightly raced horses and sometimes the jump from maiden grade to a BM64 isn’t always plain sailing. This really is a good race for betting especially the exotics. Spoke to mate yesterday and they are 95% certain they will run tomorrow. Horse is also nominated for Sale on Thursday but with the track rated a Heavy8 down there Sandown is a better option. I will head down to the track tomorrow, it’s been a while since I had a ticket printed from an old style bookie. Looking forward to it.

I agree with Cornes. We are so lucky to have him. MAX GAWN has been the best and most influential player in the competition this season and the Melbourne ruckman definitely deserved his spot in my round 16 Team of the Week. I think he has a really good chance to win the Brownlow Medal.

Agree with that. I thought it was an enlightening discussion on all topics and found myself liking Davis and Danger. Some strong comments by the boys, especially Danger’s “ farcical” when commenting about the fixture.

I think he’s a massive chance for the Brownlow Wise. I had a peek at the odds earlier. He’s on the second line of betting with Cripps at $7. If anyone likes odds of $7 surely it’s Max rather than Cripps you pick with your hard earned. Cripps is very good but one win for them?? That would be extraordinary if he can win it playing for that team. Also Gaff $11.

El Magnificence has accepted for Race 3 at Sandown on Wednesday. Full field of 16 to go around at this stage which makes it a tricky affair. El has drawn barrier 10 in what should really be a competitive race and a lottery to be honest. It’s a BM64 and nothing really separates all horses in the ratings. Highest rated horse is at 65 and lowest at 61. Some of the 65 rated horses have placed an apprentice on board as they were lumped with in excess of 60kg. No odds available as yet. https://www.racenet.com.au/racing-form-guide/sandown-20180711/le-pine-funerals-handicap-race-3 Edit: Bet365 have a market open. He’s $10 and $3.40. Fifth/sixth pick. Fav is at $5 (7).

If anyone is concerned about recovery after the Darwin game, don’t be. The players ran rings around 10yr olds at the school holiday clinic at Goschs this morning. All players were in an extremely good mood after a winning weekend. Well organised clinic with lots of different activities and the all the kids present had a ball. Well done MFC! Enough about the kids now, I needed a Monday footy fix. Managed to sneak a few questions to some of the boys. Apart from the obvious heat and humidity issues, they have recovered rather well and will be fine come Saturday ( let’s hope). Great to see some of the parents give a big welcome and good to see you back to AVB.

Fair effort, Frost was good but an 8 equates as the third best player on the field. There were 5 or 6 better than Frost imo.

He needs to slow down a tad. His price is surely rising, what would he be worth?

Umps continuing their love affair with Ben Brown and Norf. #freekicknorf 8-0

Pressure acts?

I believe we finished with 71% time in forward half yet Oscar covered the most distance for us on the night. I can only put that down to our high defensive press. I could be wrong but Freo only had 28 inside 50s for the night.

Not sure. It’s part of the 5 talking points article on the MFC website.

Apologies if this has been mentioned already but did anyone catch the replay of this? Match review officer Michael Christian will monitor the down the ground replay closely on Monday after Jesse Hogan's jumper punch on Lachie Neale behind play in the first term. It left Neale gasping for air

Harmes is coming along nicely I feel. Was switched to half back and provided some dash and nice to finally see someone nail a long running goal.

18 players hit the scoreboard tonight. These four didn’t. Out: OMac, Jetta, J Smith. Frost
