Tonight was the first time for me. I left the house for a walk around the block when Tex was lining up after the Frost free. I couldn’t physically watch anymore. Told the crew at home to leave the outside light on if we win. The walk took 5 minutes and when I got back there was no light on. That was one sick joke they played on me. I’m only calming down now after watching the last 3 minutes. We should be extremely proud tonight Demonlanders.

I gave him 4 votes in the player of the year thread. I thought he was very good tonight and it looked like he spent some time on Laird and curtailed his influence.

Tyson having a good quarter. Good on ya Dom!

Thanks Wadda. I was recording the game. Only kidding mate. ? They have a phenomenal knack of scoring quickly and reeling in big leads this season. Over to the Dees now.

Agree Macca. I thought Sunlight could beat him today but that was a clinic.

Haha, love the call “ What’s going to run second? I’m not sure it will be Sunlight, it will be daylight! Wow wee!!

Go Brisbane! Blow the siren.

My selection not good enough today Wadda. Had a great spot in the run and every possible chance but the one they backed late was too good.

Best Bet: Rosehill Race 6 No8. Foreign Territory $3.40 Drawn well, horse will lead and could hard to catch. Back to 1400m and a winner at this distance previously. Clark riding for the Waterhouse/Bott combo.

I’m leaning towards Sunlight Macca. 7kg less than Nature Strip and Tony McEvoy says she’s in good order after her recent trial win. Tony McEvoy on: Advantages for Sunlight - Class and the lightweight. Disadvantage - Nature Strip has been racing all winter and Sunlight is first-up. Should be a great battle and the $2.50 on offer might be worth including in a double with Mount Kilcoy.

I’ll support you binman by cheering on the filth next week against the Swans in Sydney, just don’t tell anyone please.

Swans start 0-6 last year and miraculously make the finals, this year they could go 0-6 to finish the year and sensationally miss.

All legal according to Ling. “ One motion BT, one motion”. They are everyone’s second team again.

Cheers Macca. I’ll follow Gator tomorrow. I do like Mount Kilcoy, I’ll do some more form tonight and see if I can find better value. I do have a bet going in the footy tonight. Parker to kick 2 or more goals and Sydney to win @$6. He’s on 1 currently. Thought I’d try my luck tonight and build a kitty for tomorrow, been a while since I’ve had a flutter on the footy.

A bit dirty from Smith with the trip. Not on.

Do we have a training session in Adelaide today? We need something, anything from our SA correspondents.

We’re cheering the Swans on tonight, right? No way we could handle Ess on the same points as us if they win tonight.??

Best Bet. Morphetville Race 5 No.8 MUSSOORIE MAGIC TAB Odds: $2.50 Promising 3yr old, won well last start and looks an exciting staying prospect. Is taking on some older horses but it drops somewhat in class. Wide barrier shouldn’t be a concern at this trip and looks a very good chance of winning. In other racing news, Captain Harry is going around again at $16. This time it’s back at Caulfield in R8. Much harder than Adelaide last week, the boys from work said the horse eased up when it got to the front a tad early last week and only got going again when the eventual winner went by him on the inside. I’ll also keep a keen eye out for Mount Kilcoy. Another exciting young stayer and the 2400m seems ideal again. That wraps up this morning’s news. #demonlandtracktalk?

Does anyone know how contracts work with assistant coaches? As far as I am aware, August 1 is the deadline to finalise/renew contracts for assistant coaches. If any of our assistants are out of contract would we be made aware ( by the cutoff date) they won’t be continuing with us next year? On radio it was stated Caracella and the Tigers are at a stand-off with negotiations and time is running out.

Jordan De Goey ruled out for a couple of weeks at least with bone stress in the lower leg. Another big blow for the Filth.

If he doesn’t play and it’s looking likely by the Misso report, question is who comes in? Harmes is in some rare form lately and the likely replacements ( Kent, Bugg, Hannan) aren’t setting the world on fire offensively in the VFL from all reports although the defensive side of their game has been good with high tackle numbers. Hannan excused. Does JKH keep his spot if Harmes misses? AVB judging by Goody’s comments is still a fortnight away, Hunt is ready but it’s a big risk bringing him straight in. Pedders, Keilty and Wagner seem to be the form players at Casey but I can’t see any changes to our back 6 this week.

You’re not the only one, for me it’s the fact he signed an extension with the Swans last year to remain there until the end of 2019.

What hope do Carlton have if they are in witness protection yet Channel 7 keeps telling us where they are on Friday nights.

That’s pretty much how I remember the ratings Macca although I haven’t looked into them lately. The first horse I was involved in won a Maiden in his second start and was allocated a rating of 62 post race. He went in as the top weight at Wodonga in his next race which he won and jumped to a 66. The article seems on the money. Interestingly with El, he was a 62 after his maiden win. Went up to 63 after the 5th in his first up run to Double Jeopardy, remained a 63 after the 5th to Nature Strip and went in as a 62 today after his 4th a fortnight ago at Sandown. The horse lost one rating point from that 4th placing. He is currently a 62 but unsure if the rating has been updated from today.
