Every Pre-season for the last four years I have looked at the Western Bulldogs team and saw a nucleus of a Premiership contender, and in all bar one of those seasons they haven’t put in an effort worthy of a finals contender. Bontempelli, Liberatore, Naughton, Ugle-Hagan, Treloar, Macrae, Daniel, English, and Smith are good enough to get a team playing finals football. Yes, there are holes in the side with a lack of key defenders and lack of quality outside running players (which we will touch on later) but there simply needs to be questions asked of the coaching group…

Football is back and I tell you what, normality resumes! In a change up from previous years the AFL has to chosen to introduce an ‘opening round’ fixture where all games are played in the Northern States. The three biggest clubs in the land will be apart of a four game round in Richmond, Collingwood, and Carlton. We will see a replay of the Preliminary final fixtures from 2023 with Collingwood facing the Giants and Brisbane hosting the Blues, whilst Damien Hardwick will face the club he took too three Premierships in the Tigers for the first time since leaving…

The Summer of cricket arrives and it is Australia vs Pakistan at Perth Stadium to kick it all off. Australia destroyed the Pakistan outfit that last toured here in 2019 and the Pakistanis will be hoping they can at least be more competitive this time around. Australia are coming off the World Test Championship and World Cup wins in 2023 and are arguably the best team in the world currently. The touring team will have their backs up against the wall early but hopefully it is an exciting series. We will give you the predicted elevens for each team and…

The summer of cricket is upon us and that means the thirteenth edition of the KFC T20 Big Bash arrives. In this article we will be giving our best eleven for each team and discussing what chance we think they have of making the finals and in turn taking out the competition. The Big Bash attracts superstars from around the world to our shores every year and this year is no different with Quentin De Kock, Zak Crawley, and Harris Rauf making the trip over. Let’s get into it! PERTH SCORCHERS 1. Josh Inglis 2. Zak Crawley 3. Mitch…

G’day everyone! From now, until the Autumn, I will be changing the previews I put up and doing a series of best bets around Australia instead of doing full meeting previews in Victoria. This will allow us to focus on the races and states we do best in historically which should mean more winners for anyone following! This Saturday we will be covering racing from Caulfield on Thousand Guineas day, Newcastle for The Hunter race day, and Sunshine Coast and Ascot where Listed and Group racing is taking place. CAULFIELD We will be having a couple of best bets at…

The final day of the Flemington Carnival awaits and they have saved the best until last with three ridiculously good G1 races on the program. The Champions sprint is the first of them with superstar New Zealand Mare Imperatriz taking on the likes of In Secret, Bella Nipotina, and Asfoora. The Champions Mile sees Mr Brightside, Fangirl, and Alligator Blood resume their rivalry in a field of seven, and the Champions Stakes sees Caulfield Cup runner up West Wind Blows take on Duais who was luckless in the Cox Plate and New Zealand Mare Prowess. The supporting card also features…

Another Melbourne Cup arrives and it is arguably the most popular day on the Australian racing calendar. We have seen terrific finishes in the three majors to date in the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate, and Victoria Derby and hopefully we see another one here. Irish raider Vauban is a $4 favourite with last years winner Gold Trip and Caulfield Cup winner Without a Fight on the next line of betting. The supporting cast is headed by the two Group Three races over 1400m in the Desirable Stakes and Hong Kong Jockey Club Stakes. Let’s get into it! RACE 1: MARIBYRNONG…

We head to Moonee Valley this Saturday for the running of the 2023 Cox Plate. For racing purists, the Cox Plate is arguably Australia’s best race. Hong Kong champion Romantic Warrior is the favourite for this year’s event at $3.60 with Alligator Blood the second elect at $5.50. The program also features the G1 Manikato Stakes where we have a $1.50 favourite in New Zealand mare Imperatriz. The Fillies Classic and Moonee Valley Vase will also give us a clearer picture of both the Victorian Derby and Victorian Oaks which will be held over the next fortnight over the Melbourne…
