Midfield will get stacks of it - but will the forward line be any better? Will make the eight for sure but might not be ready for a flag challenge.

Lots of talk of winning opportunities on trading but there would have been plenty of losers too.

Thanks to the regulars for a fun ride this year - in particular Paris and Jug for their research and knowledge. Great following this thread throughout the year and a bit unlucky with a good early spot on Tiger Moth so close to paying off. Let’s hope for one better next year. Cheers.

8yo with a poor run in the previous cup. Usually a pen job, but all credit to the winner for defying the odds. The end reminded me of cheering on Rekindling v JV but the horse in front held on this time.

Those watching/following - how firm is the track expected to be this afternoon?

*could. Form is better and was new to the trainer last year. If you’re not including TP for fourth, you first four is pretty skinny. Not the worst here by any means.

Could stick on for a brave 4th, form is decent

Tiger Moth, Baby, PoA is my guess. AvD, Dragon should be nice prices.

Yep, a chance but those doubts are more significant for me than those over the internationals. One for the multiples.

The main problem I have with TP is that it is 8 years old. Good to include in the bottom part of first 4s though.

Fair enough, I stand corrected on that point. Will be taking both in exotics.

*relative to SD, who is dominant in the conditions they got for the Cox Plate.

It’s definitely possible. RC has a better gate, could run a stronger 3200m, and will be better off with a firm track. Both are winning chances.

Really hard to get any value this year, the only chances have been well found.

There’s no extra game. A draw would be decided in extra time now.

Selwood. Especially if a bit wet. Could have won the 2011 Norm.

Tiger moth is awfully short. Not getting a Rekindling/Il Paridiso type price, or even a Cross Counter one. Hope best tote is kind.

Of our two GFs, I was thinking 2014 would be the bigger difference (in favour of Sydney)

I am fully behind Geelong, please win. Most I know seem to be going for Richmond though.

Gray has been fantastic

AVD barrier 21 - ouch

1. Lions v Port 2. Lions v Tigers 3. Port v Cats 4. Tigers v Cats

Any team could Win from here, picking is absolute guesswork. Closest top 4 this century.

Brisbane have to be favourites from here. If Richmond are really good enough to go through Port @ AO and Brisbane @ the Gabba (and that’s assuming they win this week), then they deserve it.

Tough break for the Saint if Ryder is out, he would have dominated Nank

and now it is

Eagles at their best are a legitimate contender for the flag, but they haven’t looked that good for weeks. Eagles fans - any chance the team flicks the switch like the last Collingwood game?

thanks, always forget about the runners up ;)

There are very few QF losers who make the GF. Is Hawthorn 15 the only team to do so in the last 10 years? Ie 1/20 teams. Edit: there are a couple of others, still, very uncommon compared to the winner of the QF making it.

I think WC is being underrated. Best year to finish 5th ever, and may get a home final week one. Plenty of good mids to come back.
