Like the theory Macca. Iām still dumbfounded at the French handball. Not even a yellow card. He should have been off IMO. The VAR seemed to work fine a few months back in the A-League. The only controversy with it was the constant decisions going against the Victory. Very enjoyable first half by the way. I think the Japanese keeper is still waving his finger in the dressing rooms. Ball was over by 2 feet.

Unbelievable Macca. Kettle hadnāt even boiled yet and whaaaaatttt...penalty and a red card?? Did I hear the commentator say itās the 9th penalty of the tournament?

Petracca in a rut?
From a Q&A with Oscar on the website. Least-preferred teammate on road trips and why: Christian Petracca ā because he eats the whole buffet

Watts Dropped from Port
I was talking about Trengove, Watts and Dom Barry pushing their claims to get a senior spot this week. Those 3 played yesterday in the SANFL.

āFiestaā time in Russia. The Mexicans have a knack of performing during the group stages and we have our first real shock of the tournament. We shouldnāt be surprised though as the Mexicans have some world class players and questions are now being asked of the Germans. Brazil, Argentina, Spain have all dropped points and France can count themselves lucky but they have the 3 points when other top seeds failed. Youād expect them all to bounce back though. Plenty of drama in these early stages which sets up an intriguing finish to the first round.

Macca, Macca, Macca. Iām a Bears fan mate. ? Havenāt followed the NFL as closely the last few years but enjoyed the rivalry over the years. Anyway, back on topic. Do you sometimes find some of our horses are under the odds over here when they race overseas?

Watts Dropped from Port
Well...3 former Dees put in strong performances in the SANFL today to try and get a spot next week against us, none more so than Trengove. 27 disposals, 13 marks and 2 goals. Barry also had 27 and Watts kicked 3 in a winning team. Like Ethan said, the short break might go against them this week but it would be good to see Trengove get a game soon.

Enjoyable game to watch. Argentina with almost 3/4 of the possession, around 5 times the amount of passes, more than double in shots, Messi alone had 10 goal attempts. Iceland looked very dangerous every time they attacked in the first half with their fast and precise passing. Agree with @Grapeviney, not a well hit penalty by Messi. This was the first game of the tournament so far that didnāt have a goal scored in the final 10 minutes. Early days but good for trivia night. Loving the reports @Diamond_Jim. Aussies unlucky in the end. The boos for Hernandez were coming through loud and clear. Sainsbury post match stated he wasnāt a fan of the VAR before and his mind hasnāt changed after today.

I was under the same impression Macca. VAR was comprehensive during the A-League season not only reviewing the play in question but also ruling on other infringements cited during the review such as players being sanctioned for pushing/holding behind the play. It seemed to me they went to VAR to confirm the handball but strangely forgot about the sanction.

Bizarre really. He didnāt even receive a yellow. Iāve seen red cards for less.

I really have to stop mentioning other horses when I nominate my āBestā. ? Apologies fellas, I missed the boat with āLiteān In My Veinsā.

Well done Macca. Love seeing the explosive turn of foot upon straightening by a front runner. That was very impressive on the 7 day backup. Could be a good guide for El Magnificence too. Only 1 length behind Miss Leonidas last week.

Iām so glad I set the alarm Macca. I even woke up my 10yr old son to watch it with me and he was thankful. Absolute treat to witness it.

Feeling a lucky day fellas. Sky racing is on in the background and noticed a horse won in the American trots by the name of Zephyr Kronos.

Best Bet: Moonee Valley. Race 8 Number 1 Liteān In My Veins $3.70 Racing in similar grade and I just had to choose this horse as a best after we mentioned it a few months ago. It will take the claim of 3kg and is probably worse off at the weights against āMy Nordic Heroā but was the strongest at the finish last start. I actually struggled the find one that stands out tomorrow. Tough day coming up so I went with a horse thatās in red hot form.- Watts Dropped from Port
Canāt argue with that DD. Carry on.- Watts Dropped from Port
Come on fellas, this is a thread about the omission of JW, not about Demonlanders ādroppingā one another.- A Day at the Races
Cool...Best Bets continue. The World Cup will give us plenty of practise with staying up late for the UK races.- A Day at the Races
Going early fellas. Number 2 Religify. TAB Odds: $7.50/$2.50 A work colleague knows the horse well through connections and was told the horse trialled really well last week. Tough on pacer and the tight Ipswich circuit will suit the horse. If the horse can cross without doing too much from the wide barrier it could be very hard for them to catch him. If he does do some work early the horse is still capable of hanging onto a placing. Also happy to have 2 more runs with the trifectas and then hitting the paddock for a while. Do we still continue with the āBest Betsā Macca?- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BALIC
Can only go by what I have seen on him at Casey and I canāt see that he will get a game this year unless we have some injuries up forward ( knocks on wood). He seems smart around goals and gets into good positions. Maybe the one year contract is based more on development like you said and easing into our system rather than the club expecting him to play several games in the AFL. Itās only an opinion and certainly wouldnāt be disappointed if he gets a game soon. Hope it works out for him.- A Day at the Races
Iām leaning towards the Eye Liner Stakes Macca. Might seem a trickier race than the other 2 but there are some horses that I think are terrific value.- Watts Dropped from Port
Seriously...do you want a bozo badge? You were one of the most vocal during the trade period with your repetitive posting about how useless he is. I notice you only jump on here with constant negativity. Good for you for feeling vindicated. They guy has left the MFC but you wait for moments like this to gloat. Well done. - A Day at the Races
