    How about stopping a player capable of kicking many goals on a younger lighter opponent?

     

    It doesn’t matter which player takes the task on Hawkins if we allow teams to rebound easily and score out the back. We don’t want to see a Jetta or Vince type left 1 out with opposition  talls like we did last year.

    If you listened to the Demonland podcast a few weeks ago when @Drunkn167 was a special guest, he stated that OMac possesses a lot of body strength, might have even stated he’s one of the strongest that Dec has competed against at training.

  2. As stated above, tough day coming up.

    Best Bet: Rosehill Race 3 No. 6 Alward. $3.80

    Each Way Best: Rosehill R8 No.5 English.

    Good luck to Santos today, not often do you find a close mate having a runner in the Slipper. 

    Happy punting fellow Demonlanders!

  3. Goodwin stated he will field the fittest 22 and judging by all the training reports over the summer Bugg was labelled as the fittest player, yet he misses out. That’s probably more a case of being down the pecking order behind, Fritch, Hannan, ANB and Melksham. 

    In regards to Brayshaw, is it as simple as his mouth/teeth issue the reason for naming him  as an emergency? Why not name him and if it’s still a problem on Sunday just withdraw him. 

    Is Tyson really underdone? He’s had a full summer until the calf niggle, missed a couple of weeks and has played well in two consecutive weeks since. Lewis has played one quarter of football in the pre season. Maynard before Tyson is perplexing.

    No good tonight was the Gator ... 1 winner only.  'Safari JJ' will hopefully provide a few winners for us tomorrow :ph34r:

    'Hellbent' salutes in the William Reid Stakes ... very impressive and a terrific ride by Williams.  Weir gets another Group 1.   The First4 paid over 8k yet all the horses involved in the finish were decent.  Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing D77? ha ha

    Spanish Reef was also quite imposing in the Sunline Stakes ... destined now for Sydney and could do well up there - worth following at least. 

    I tuned in to watch the William Reid only out of interest. Good price for Hellbent Macca, sooner or later it was going to produce its customary finishing burst and beat them home. I was surprised with the F4 dividend. Catchy ran a great race, it looked like the horse was going backwards prior to the final turn.

    I just finished a phone conversation with my mate, he’s so pumped about tomorrow he won’t be able to sleep.

    Barrier 7 for Gai’s 7th Slipper???

    I hope it salutes for the sole fact of seeing him on the TV carrying on like a looney. He thinks Sunlight and Written By are special horses and they hope Santos jumps well and settles into the first few or so.

    Even with JV and Tmac out there's still a huge amount of arm-chair selection pressure. Our club is in a pretty good place as a reflection of such. But I'm confused - we have eight named on the bench with three to be omitted? Did I miss something re. interchange numbers?

    The number of emergencies has increased to 4 this season.

    Yeah the ‘Get On’ crew call James Jordan 'Safari JJ' - suit related? :ph34r:

    Anyway,  we've at least got a couple of his tips in advance - I'll be getting on!

    They all tipped well last week especially 'Gator' who tipped a heap of winners - he's another who knows his stuff. 

    I noted their “Best” for the weekend.  

    5 horses adds up to around $123 for the multi. Worth a fiver Macca?

    Agree with you on Gator, I’ve always enjoyed listening to him.

    Glad you stopped drinking D77..... :)

     

    Lol, that’s all I felt like doing after hearing the news about TMac/Viney today.

    Get On is on now and I just flicked over, only 15 minutes left though, haven’t spotted the Guru yet.

    Hard work trying to find a best bet but here goes ...

    'Kings Will Dream' - Mornington Cup Race 7  No.11 ($3.10)

    The horse has been in fine form,  has drawn a good barrier and is trained by Darren Weir.  And the extra distance should suit.  $3.50 was available yesterday so the punters are coming for it. 

    Agree Macca, I have found it extremely tough to find something that jumps out. Currently I’m thinking Alward at $3.40 ( Rosehill R3 No.6), will wait to see how the track plays out as it’s only placed 1 of 6 on soft tracks. 

    @Wadda We Sing I’ve sobered up now, I can’t see Winx losing. Kementari should run second. No shame in running second to Winx and picking up close to 200k as Macca stated above.

    Anyone else feel the same as me and don’t really rate Vince much anymore?

    I’d rather Tyson to take his spot and have Brayshaw, Frost, Hannah and Melks on the bench...

     Bernie had a ripper pre season. He’s usually good for one brain fade a game but he’s one of our better ball users and his experience will be crucial.

    Youve been drinking a lot lately D77....haha...

    But hey, Winx wont wanna miss the start in this one, that's for sure.

    Ha Ha, she’s only the best horse in the world and there’s me tipping against her. There’s been some wild predictions on footy by all these geniuses in the media I thought I’d trump them.

    Well that's good news Wadda ... trying to do the form is hard enough as it is!  And we don't want a repeat of last year's conditions.  A few points re Rosehill ...

    • Gailo Chop is 1.80 Fav in the Ranvet Stakes ... next is Single Gaze at 7.00.  Harlem is at 11.00
    • The 5 other runners in the Winx race are all good horses and nearly all are in good form ... 200k for 2nd is like winning a 330k race whilst the 3rd place prizemoney (100k) is like winning a 180k race.  So there's a bit to play out - Kementari & Happy Clapper have been running some very slick times of late and will chase hard. 
    • You can still get 5.00 for 'Ace High' in the Guineas ... 'Vin de Dance' has firmed from 9.00 into 6.50 - the horse won the NZ Derby a few weeks ago.  Hmmmmm.
    • You can get 4.80 for 'Sunlight' & 6.00 for 'Written By' in the Slipper ... a bit overs for both?  12.00 is available for Santos.  Nice odds all round. 
    • Supido,  Thronum & Secret Agenda are entered for both the 'William Reid Stakes & The Galaxy. 

    It’s that time of the year where the footy is upon us, everyone is making “Big Calls”  and I’m throwing a wild one out there.

    Kementari to beat Winx by a long neck.:o

  12. B: Jetta OMac Hibberd

    HB: Hunt Lever Lewis

    C: Harmes Oliver Jones

    HF: Melksham Petracca ANB

    F: Garlett Hogan Hannan

    R: Gawn Tyson Salem

    IC: Vince, Bugg, Brayshaw, Pedersen

    Emerg: Fritsch, Wagner, Frost, Stretch.

     

    Found it hard to split Bugg and Fritsch for the last spot and just a gut feel that Fritsch will be most unlucky.

  13. Not sure we should be questioning Garlett’s work rate. He worked extremely hard last summer to have a better year than 2016.

    He was the number 1 ranked forward for pressure in the first half of the year and his defensive pressure was first class. The 42 goals were an absolute bonus last season. He had some quite moments later in the year but had to deal with some family issues. IMO we need his craft and he’s a certain starter if fully fit.
