With it looking like potentially Via Sistina's to lose , we have a decent challenger!
The front running style suits MV , and this is the leadup race that LG won before her CP win

Hi Strangers,
Been a while since venturing here, places seems to be dead compared to yester year
Sir Delius opened his career in Aus with what can only be described as a jaw dropping win, looks like a clone of WAF , not often the imports have that sort of turn of foot
$21 currently , worth a...
Merry Xmas for punters

R1. Aliana
R2. Dominetta
R3. Schwarz
R4. Another Wil
R5. Powers of Opal
R6. Growing Empire
R7. Goldrush Guru
R8. Amelia’s Jewel

Rosehill in the Golden Eagle am really keen on Lazzat
Moving day this Saturday
A few preps will be made or broken
My thoughts
Flem
R1. Moby Dick
R3. Scary (my early VRC derby tip)
R5. Bodyguard - Micky P can’t train a winner otherwise would’ve been on First Settler
R6. Royal Champion - class import
R7. Saint George - stupid price and...
Jungle drums beating?
Never a good sign when this happens
I think Adelaide have turned his/his agents head with a big offer as we have mountains of cap room
St.Kilda will want 2 x first rounders and rightly so, I think we would give it too making sure it gets done.
2024 first will only get...
I listed the same question over on Swans board
He’s out of contract, surely North Melbourne has crack, Hawks too
I’d hope Adelaide enquires
He’d fit in well in our midfield, provided poise and pace with skills which we are lacking
Dawson can sell the culture etc to him
With the huge win today of Incentivise it rockets into favouritism for the race that stops a nation
With that let discussion begin!
Irish derby tonight - huge watch on High Definition currently at 51’s
** if similar thread exists mods please merge
It’s a long post so bear with me wink
With this coming draft period and 1 more to hopefully seal our rebuild plan how do we see our squad looking come 2023/24 as your hopeful/predicted best 22?
Add in any potential recruits you think we may obtain...
Evening all, question for our fellow northern suburbs fans , how was the commute to the game with no Gawler train line?
I’d normally get it from Salisbury
Were thier sufficient buses?
Had the impression they’d be full by the time getting to Elizabeth after leaving Gawler central
Hey all, any green thumbs here?
I’m laying fake turf over the dead grass which is basically 85% dirt
Rather than digging all out have layed weedmatting after using a high concentrate herbicide, and will lay the Dolomite and use a plate compactor
Before laying the dolomite I’ve got varying...
After last nights it’s plain for all to see the Crouch Bro’s aren’t taking us forward
What do we do with them.... 🤔🤔
- Keep Matt and let Brad walk?
- Trade Matt along with letting Brad walk?
- Re-sign Brad and back them in
I’m for letting Brad walk can become a great compo pick
Effectively...
Abit of fun to start off the new year
Let’s have a stab at guessing/tipping the winner of the bigger races for the year
Newmarket- Exceedance
Doncaster - Kolding
Aus Cup- Funstar
All Star Mile - Melody Belle
TJ Smith - Nature Strip
Queen Elizabeth Stakes- Te Akau Shark
Caulfield Cup- Master...
So after today looks like could be just a matter of LG 🇯🇵 by how far
Perhaps only other internationals it’s threat Magic Wand and The 🦈
Edit .... and Kluger
Caulfield Cup next up gents (aka the red headed step child of the “big 3” races of spring)
I’m currently on Constantinople (big overs with others under it in the market poi poi as iluvparis would say) - I’m looking at you Mr Quickie.....
Also have backed Mer de Glacé and Mirage Dancer...
With not long now until first nominations come out
Discuss any early thoughts and pre-nom and before classed as “all in” bets you may have
Talking points:
Irish Guineas just ran, Will the winner or placegetters head over?
Latrobe was a knife in the guts for the punting board with its omission...
Always find it a good punting day this one.
Fields are out and look half decent!
Some early thoughts for me:
R2. Sandown Cup.... a dartboard job! Not red hot keen on anything but if I have a bet Wall of Fire. That thing owes me!!
R3. A hard one with so many formlines interweaving, Sweet...
A little earlier than usual to start this thread but articles starting to filter through.
For those who are social media minded I suggest you follow Melbourne Cup Max, has some great articles and opinions
Since Leigh Jordan moved to the VRC he’s really made inroads into the Japanese sector...
Just come across this on social media
If a member or season ticket holder hope it’s cancelled and reprimanded
It’s just a game after all no need for this shit
Mods move if necessary
What’s happened to Fox Footy League teams?
The Weekend Lowdown seems to be on at that time slot
Never used to mind it but has it been scrapped?
Just found that sportsbet run a punters club.
Putting it out there to fellow punting board members any interest?
Please keep in mind my wagers aren't as large as some of you ;)
Started the other 2 threads so will make the trifecta ;)
You all know the drill.. thoughts, tips, predictions whether they be win or lay.
For me.. Highland Reel, was warming to Arod but Craig Williams butchered another GROUP 1 ride today.
Little bit of vomit in mouth here but feel The Cleaner...
Post thoughts, tips, criticisms in here.
Took Mongolian Khan at 17's so happy with that, like Our Ivanhowe for some value, gets a weight drop too.
And of course can't write off the Japanese
