  1. Got some tips fellas and I don’t usually receive them often. No comment in the text just races and numbers. I’ll post them anyway just to test out the source. Rosehill R5 No.1 La Chica Bella I notice the horse will carry 61kg on the Soft. Good start. Rosehill R8 No.13 Mapmaker Morphetville R3 No.5 Canford
  2. Interesting to see what the Cats do with Tim Kelly. WA clubs coming hard according to Jon Ralph after homesickness is becoming an issue for his partner. 19 possessions and a goal in the last quarter. On the Geelong boards they are happy for him to go back as long as they receive 2 first rounders in return. ? They would also happily take Gaff in a trade.
  3. Perhaps it should have been a 50. It all depends which player is on the mark of course.
  4. That was it for the rule Macca after the tournament. Greece was ultra defensive throughout that tournament anyway. They did toy with the idea of reducing players during extra time. I wouldn’t mind it but the fatigue it would cause was a concern to some. Unfortunately like you, I can’t see penalties vanishing any time soon. Like you stated, the NHL altered the rules during overtime in the regular season to avoid the dreaded shoot-out. It’s now 3 on 3 and that works a treat.
  5. @Macca @Diamond_Jim Do you recall the implementation of the Silver Goal rule in Euro 2004? If a team was leading by the end of the first half of extra time the game would end. I remember it vividly, you could argue it helped Greece win the tournament and possibly costing the Czechs the tournament at the same time. https://www.planetfootball.com/nostalgia/remembering-short-lived-silver-goal-2004-czech-side-robbed/
  6. Stop kicking to the pocket Wallis.
  7. For the first half of last year he was ranked as the number 1 forward for pressure. The Champion Data guru Glen Luff was on radio after round 4 this year and stated Garlett was in our top 2 for forward pressure at the time. I have no idea how they measure that stat and I thought he was unlucky to get dropped when so many of his teammates were just as bad. I’d have him in the team as I feel we need his craft but in 10 weeks since his omission he’s fallen down the order I feel. Oh...and after his match winning effort against Brisbane this year some of the media were talking him up as the game’s best small forward.
  8. I’m more than happy with that system Macca and if others join it should be some good fun.
  9. I’ll give it a go @Macca. France v Argentina. Uruguay v Portugal Spain v Russia Croatia v Denmark Brazil v Mexico ( Hoping more than anything) Belgium v Japan Sweden v Switzerland Colombia v England
  10. The guy’s name is Menegola right? Why are they calling him Men N Gola?
  11. Haha, the Weir runner belongs to a couple of blokes from work. Captain Harry Wadda. I prefer yours though. Nice pick!
  12. Saty “ On Track” as per usual with his antics. Totally unnecessary telling a poster he should talk to the players. People give up their spare time to report observations from training to passionate Demons and get garbage thrown at them out of spite it seems.
  13. I might be a bit biased with my background but I’d love to see Greece compete on the world stage again. A bit stiff to miss out this year, conceded only 3 or 4 goals throughout qualifying and then a hot Croatia hammers them with 4 in the first playoff match in Croatia. Intriguing Round of 16 ahead. I’ve had a small wager on Mexico to win it. So glad they drew Brazil.
  14. Haha, both games now 1-0. The instructions to the Japanese would be simple right now. No more yellow cards. I had no idea that “Fair Play” was a tiebreaker.
  15. Wow, VAR again. Penalty awarded to Senegal then overturned and I’m not sure why. Commentator mentioned an arm being flung back at Sanchez as to the possible reason but to me Sanchez had already started sliding and made contact with the knee prior to the Senegalese arm making contact and hardly any contact at that.
  16. Best Bet. Sunshine Coast: Race 7 Number 2 The Bostonian $3.40 Terrific win last week when leading all the way. On a day when they were reeling the leaders in quickly I thought the win was quite impressive. Has won at Caloundra previously and the trainer believes the backup won’t be an issue. Also, a couple of work colleagues have a small share in a horse called Captain Harry. He’s going around in Race 7 at Caulfield. The fellas are excited as it’s the horse’s first city grade run. It had a midweek run at Sandown a few starts back but nothing beats a Saturday in town. It’s racing well of late in the lower grades and you never know. It’s around the $10 mark. By no means is this a tip, only an added interest. The good thing about this horse is the fact it’s still a colt. Hopefully they can get lucky and win a couple of decent races.
  17. Wait until the encore tomorrow PD if he calls the game. Ablett, Selwood and Danger. Oh Boy!!
  18. I wanted him back in the team but it’s been two months since he got dropped with 7-8 VFL games. Has he been held over as emergency in this time? Interesting times ahead anyway Rusty. I don’t believe Spargo will play this week and I don’t think we can read much into him being named ahead of Garlett on the extended bench...or can we?
  19. Yeah, well done Ling. The throat is considered high but you missed the Rance elbow in Buddy’s throat first.
  20. Garlett is a concern. He’s slipped down the pecking order rapidly.
  21. Swans have been awful with their kicking inside 50.
