ANZ Championship 2013 – Round 1 Tips
It’s that time of year…… if you listen very carefully as this weekend approaches, you may hear Kiwi rapper Scribe rhetorically asking, “How many sites you know roll like this?

Thurston v Cronk: A Fantasy King Investigation

The 2013 Willie M Medal: Round 2
Image: Tony Williams and Sandor Earl have jumped to early leads in the Willie M Medal, going back-to-back worst on ground performances. Williams was inept for Canterbury. He rarely put any effort in and threw some insanely stupid passes. Earl was hapless. He dropped the ball with his first touch and should perhaps spend more […]

The Forgive Files – March 16
This week’s edition of The Forgive Files takes us to the March 16 meetings at Bendigo and Warwick Farm.
