My second rant for the day. Late last week the stewards made a big song and dance about how they would make sure every horse paid up for the Cup was vet checked prior to the final field being declared. So how is it that a horse that, according to the stewards report, pulled up lame after the...

Billion dollar operation has now cost themselves at least 3 Melbourne Cups by either: a) not putting on a local jockey b) not instructing their 'fly ins' on how to ride to the pattern of the track Lost In The Moment could've lead the trifecta to the outside at the 800-600, instead young...

What is the point of your post? To rub it in the face of diehard Geel/Coll supporters who would love nothing more than to be there? Flog.

What is wrong with wanting other clubs' top players? Everyone does it, including us.

Re: Essendon player caught scalping GF tickets A guy I know was offered tickets by an ex AFL player. It's the AFL's fault, they're the ones distributing ridiculous amounts of tickets to clubs.

I have my doubts... Malthouse is a proven liar.

Cheers My mate misinformed me that it was 50mm - 100mm, I had begun work on my very own Noah's Ark!

Well maybe not quite as much but still enough to put a dampener (pardon the pun) on the meeting: Forecast for Friday Cloud increasing. Scattered showers developing from the late morning. The chance of thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. Winds northerly averaging up to 35 km/h...

Unfortunately they are prediciting rainfall similar to what we copped on Derby Day.

2 starts in OZ nothing to write home about. For mine he's way under the odds. The race is a lottery although I'm happy to back Gathering if he gets a run as he should get an easy time in front.

Dato can barely put two words together so I doubt he's calling the shots. Duncan Ramage would be the orchestrator so he should hang his head in shame. Hopefully he jumps on the flight back to Britain with SYT and that's the last we see of this toff, after all he looks & sounds like he'd be...

I see your point, but... I suggest you take a closer look at the form of Illustrious Blue and to a lesser extent Holberg. Both have enough form around internationals that have performed well in Australia to suggest that they're in the mix. Also, Illustrious Blue won the Goodwood Cup which...

I'll give you 3,822,000-1

There's your first mistake. Runners to placings ratio of internationals is second to none and they always start over the odds nowadays.

Let me clarify... I'm not denying she's a talented horse, in fact her effort to split Secret Admirer & Dance Of The ocean at her start prior is very impressive, I just don't think she'll stay.

I know you've said there were excuses but based on last run she'd struggle to stay a night in her stables

BEADED is an e/w moral in the Salinger

This is one of modern racings great myths! Yes he was held up BUT he only had to make a 200 metre run while Toorak Toff made a 600 metre run around the field, also Sasa was just as good a run as the first 2 home and she hasn't exactly reached great heights since. Saw the Spring Stakes replay...

If it's a true staying test MASTER O has a great e/w chance. The thing holding him back since his CC win is that the trainer has been so intent on winning the MC that he has taken away most of the dash he used to possess. At this stage I'll be backing MR MEDICI e/w but I've got a strong...

Ilovethiscity is the lay of the Spring. The form out of the Newcastle race is woeful... Giresun (2nd) - then beaten 7L in the spring champion Heartsareforlove (3rd) - then beaten 5.5L in the flight Chula Vista (5th) - then last beaten 11L flight Giresun (7th) - then last beaten 11L...

Her best win was on a slow track. Take a look at her career stats and the wet track excuse the connections wheel out is starting to wear a bit thin... Good: 10-7-0-0, Fast: 0-0-0-0, Dead: 9-6-2-0, Slow: 5-3-1-0, Heavy: 3-0-2-0

Based on her 2 wins this time in Hot Danish won't be getting within 2 lengths of anything in Melbourne. She beat up on absolute hacks at WFA 1st up then was thrown in at the SWP conditions last time and fell in against an average lot. Will make a packet taking her on down here.

Re: The colliscum chant during Roo's speach at the parade. I heard that they considered relocating the parade to the courts district of the CBD so that more Collingwood supporters could attend

Yes, it has reinforced my earlier point.

People like you are the reason why everybody hates Collingwood

Not sure of any parties but there will be a wake at Victoria Park Saturday night!

Well I've learnt the following: a) AFL memberships are great if you're a neutral supporter, don't follow Essendon/Collingwood, Essendon/Collingwood don't make the GF b) the AFL doesn't give a rats tossbag about loyal (pre 1995) members as there is an abundance of newbies who, not knowing how...

Incorrect

Thanks to all who have had some input. It's interesting that it appears that most of you do prefer to pre book in advance. Anyhow my main gripe was trying to get to the bottom of how many 'spots' in the AFL members area (aprrox 18,000) are given away to corporates etc I've put some figures...

Cheers For big games (including prelims & GF) would you prefer our system of having to book either online or at Ticketmaster (and pay extra $) or the MCC system of first in best dressed at no extra cost?
