    It was a goal that was important rather than special. 

    Sure it was a pressure kick and he worked hard to get out the back.  It was however an uncontested possession and a stroll in to 30m.

    I believe the overall moment was special, right up there with T Mac’s “ Genius” game winner in the West.

    The Melbourne roar after the goal was possibly the loudest we have heard at the G in a long long time. It felt bloody good to hear such a roar with so many MFC supporters going absolutely bonkers with elation and that would have been the case if any of the other 21 players had kicked that goal.

    I believe he said it was sore.  I don’t think he said he didn’t report it.  I might be wrong 

    Wouldn’t have a clue if T Mac reported the ailment or not. Based on the timeframe Goody spoke of, ( possibly a mix up of words) T Mac has played in two weekends of football with the issue.

    Like Wiseblood stated above, it’s strange, considering we have been told many many times on here a slight niggle equals rehab.

    He is out of touch with supporters because he hasn’t put up with this rubbish for the last 12 years, while the rest of us have delt with this our entire life!

    The bloke was a good hard player with abit of backbone. If Hardwick can win a flag at Richmond so can this bloke at Melb.

    Agree, we just hope it doesn’t take 8 seasons to do it.

    You beat me to it, I have stated this I don't know how many times, any twinge/tweak/tightness/ache is reported, course of action decided, Clarry may just have a bit of soreness

    I am jealous, haven't made last few trainings, stocking up on money for season, made up for it by buying a bit of Bayley Fritsch in a sponsorship syndicate

    So, Tom Mac didn’t report his sore toe for the last month. According to Goodwin, it’s been troubling him for a month yet he’s played AFLX and the opening JLT.

    I was very impressed with the bloke yesterday ... level headed,  really knowledgeable and you could tell that Bruce was quite impressed too. 

    I usually leave the form in SA & WA till last and to be perfectly honest,  the form from those States is often just too hard for me to work out anyway (save for the big races)  James' tips creates a shortcut which might just pay off. 

    A bit more of a search on him found he’s building a reputation as one of Australia’s leading form analysts. Will keep a keen eye out for his tips.

    Also, I noticed yesterday “Lite’n In My Veins” won around the $2.50 price.

    Good question.......took the money and..? i know he sold Tom Waterhouse.com to an Asian corporate and they kept the name......try the Cayman Islands maybe?

    That’s what I thought lol,  but I edited my post after a quick google search, CEO of William Hill Australia currently.

    Lot of science and a lot of luck as well.... If you aint got the luck.......The Adelaide Cup is such a good example of that i thought....

    That was a great read thanks Macca. Interesting that he worked at Tom Waterhouse.......that would have been an eye opener.....still dont know how you can have a betting agency when your mum is the head trainer in the State.   ....and your dad was......well, not great with a can of paint....

    Some good fields this weekend and most of the races were up on the futures at the TAB.

    Whatever happened to Tom Waterhouse? I remember him popping up on the telly late at night spruiking his own company. 

    Edit: Maybe I should have gone through a google search prior to posting. He’s the CEO of William Hill.

    @Demon77   @Wadda We Sing   @binman

    Do you blokes know much about James Jordan?  Works as the SA form analyst for Racing.com & Channel 7.  Seems to really know his stuff and even McAvaney seemed very impressed with him during Monday's Morphettville coverage. 

    Where can I get his tips?

    Here's a feature article about James from a few months back

    He goes to quite some detail in working out how a race will be run ... worth following?

    Some interesting thoughts in that article. We might have to pick our “Best” in Tasmania or Northern Territory. Good insight by him on those states.

    I don’t know much about him Macca and have only seen him on the racing.com channel giving his selection before each race at the track he’s at. He does have a twitter account but unsure if he gives any tips out.

    Liked his best betting story also. Safe to say Atlantic Jewel was slightly above average.

    unless i missed something (entirely possible) i didn't see any denial of a hotspot by goody or even any mention of one

    did say a sore toe for 4 weeks

    You’re right, no mention at all of a hotspot, after the news of a hotspot surfaced last night a sore toe seemed like a relief. If indeed there is one, i guess they’re hiding it.

    "I'm confident [he will play round one]. He's got a sore toe and he's had that for a month or so," Goodwin said as he enters his second season in charge of the Demons.

    If the above is true, why was T Mac allowed to play in AFLX and the opening JLT?  I thought the players were straight into rehab if they felt even a slight itch.

    I'm not picky when it comes to commentators, i'm more focused on the game and the commentary is background noise. 

    Yep. There’s hardly any commentators left. Most of them have turned into “Special Comments” and it’s terrible listening.

    Adam Papalia and Brenton Speed seem a tad refreshing, those two actually call the game.

    I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he wrote that before Greene re-signed only because he picked us as a Top 4 team. 

    The thought did cross my mind that could be the case. There’s been ample time between writing and printing for a quick edit.

    I do like his top 4 pick though.

  12. SAM LANDSBERGER

    Toby Greene (GWS) and Tom Lynch (GC) receive Dustin Martin-type offers to return to Victoria as the expansion clubs crash out of the premiership race.”

     

    So, Toby Greene to receive a massive offer to return home a year after he signed a 6 year multimillion dollar deal with GWS. 

    Massive would be an understatement if this was to happen.

    Looked like he was going to mow him down......will we take the 2nd in our strike rate Macca?

    The race caller didn’t even realise Fanatic railed through on the final turn and bolted two lengths in front. It happened so quick, you could hear his surprise 100m upon straightening.

    Your back D77.... :)

     

    Lol, been out and about but always find time to jump on and have a sneaky look. Even managed to catch the cup on the phone. Fanatic didn’t give up at all, I thought Ormito had it the last 200m.

  15. If Danger and Ablett miss it only gives an opportunity for some other players to come in that are hungry and willing to impress to keep a spot in the team.

    They might not have the class of the above but they’ll sure have the determination to make it as difficult as possible for us. 

    We can only beat what’s put in front of us.

    Well that was a pretty good afternoon at the footy for my first AFLW game! 

    A good atmosphere and sizeable crowd. I was barracking pretty hard, not many others around me were but IDGAF. I must say quite a different feel to the demographic; it seemed like during the third quarter grind, not many people were actually watching the game! A kind of carnivale/family day type atmosphere which was nice. 

    Some observations: 

    - Tegan Cunningham.....full stop. Only disappointment was missing that sitter. But wow. 

    - Elise O’Dey , also wow. 

    - watching live, daisy and paxman really catch the eye with their skill and hardness. 

    - Mel hickey did hobble off with trainers and was in the 3Q time huddle , so appears not ACL, but unlikely to play again this year :/

    - we just looked a class above all day. 

     

    Geez looking forward to next week! 

    Go you La-Dees! 

     

    Tell me about it, I got hit in the head by a bouncing basketball.

    Great observations and on Cunningham, her work rate was unbelievable. 

    A big well done to the players for spending time with the fans after the game for snaps and signatures.

    The Newmarket Handicap & The Randwick Guineas (2018)

     

     

     

    Had to watch the Newmarket replay twice then Macca. Once to watch the grandstand side only, twice to watch the far side. Terrific race though.
