• Ryan Cook
Six teams remain in the hunt for the 2026 AFL Premiership as we look ahead to a pair of mouth-watering Semi-Finals matchups this weekend.

It’s win or go home for all four sides, and our thoughts, analysis, and best value betting plays ahead of the Semi-Finals can be found below! 0 Days 0 Hours…

From the Couch: NRL Round 27

• Nick Tedeschi
An Epitaph To A Wasted Season: No matter what way it is chopped, Canterbury’s 2026 season was a major disappointment and one caused not by bad luck or the vagaries of the draw or as a misstep on a rebuild but by unchecked arrogance, self-sabotaging obstinance and systemic failings. Phil Gould is deified at Belmore – much like he was at Penrith for a period – and deserves credit for cleaning house and bringing back a level of competitiveness to Canterbury not seen through the Pay and Barrett years. But much like he did at Penrith, the positivity of his impact ends when it comes to…

Muswellbrook Best Bets – Tuesday, September 8

• Ryan Cook
Muswellbrook is the focus on Tuesday as we look to continue the week on the right note in our Daily Best Bets! Muswellbrook: Race 3 – Maiden Plate (1500m)   No. 4 The Prospect  THE PROSPECT (4) gets back out to 1500m after running on well for second over this trip at Hawkesbury two back.  He was entitled to weaken off a nine-week break at Beaumont over shorter last start and has since had his gear tinkered with. The blinkers go on now and he’s drawn to receive every chance working home off the speed.  Muswellbrook R3 – Ladies Day 1 November Mdn Plate Open Race time:  4. The Prospect…

2026 NRL Finals Week 1 Deciding Factors

• Oscar Pannifex
Deciding Factors  Entering the finals with a near-full strength squad after three seasons of injury hell is a big factor for this unlikely South Sydney squad. The healthiest team often wins the competition and the Rabbitohs are about as healthy as they’ve been since a Preliminary Final loss to Penrith in 2022.  After playing out of position and adapting on the run throughout the 2026 NRL regular season, the Rabbitohs now field a group of players who all know their role within the team.   A forward pack that relishes the repeatable actions is well complemented by the dynamic, unpredictable involvements of David Fifita or Cam Murray in attack.…

Brisbane and Fremantle’s Essential Truths

Brisbane and Fremantle’s Essential Truths 

• GuyWhoLikesSport
Big moments have a tendency to reveal essential truths. It’s true of people, institutions, and sporting teams alike.   They don’t always reveal weaknesses necessarily, like when Hans Gruber and his boys took over Nakatomi and the essential truth of John McClane revealed itself to be that he’s a smartass with a pretty good eye for stopping robberies, nor do they always reveal strengths.  They simply revealed truths that were always there if you were looking for them.   In the qualifying finals, essential truths were revealed about Fremantle and Brisbane. It’s not that they can’t pull a 2020 and end up meeting in the Grand Final anyway, nor is that those truths…

Bendigo Best Bets – Sunday, September 6 

• Craig Sheppard
Let’s end the weekend on the right note at Bendigo, where we’ve found a few key runners and strong betting opportunities across Sunday’s card. Race 2 – Ladbrokes Popular SRM Maiden Plate (1100 METRES) No. 6 He’s Regal HE’S REGAL (3) just missed when heavily backed on debut at Sale, finishing second over 1100m after being awkwardly away and bumping early. The Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr-trained gelding hit the front inside the final 100m before being narrowly denied. He will be better for that experience and should strip fitter second-up, with Blake Shinn retaining the ride. He maps…

Randwick & Eagle Farm Best Bets – Saturday, September 5

Get our Randwick and Eagle Farm best bets for Saturday September 5, including key runners, race analysis and betting opportunities across both meetings. Eagle Farm Race 6 – XXXX BENCHMARK 70 Handicap (1500 METRES) No. 7 Precise Star PRECISE STAR (7) is unbeaten since moving north and looks hard to beat again. The Tony Gollan-trained gelding had gone seven starts without winning before joining the stable, but he has quickly turned that around. He won narrowly first-up, led throughout for a 3.95-length Gold Coast win and then destroyed them by four lengths over a mile at Ipswich. Barrier 1 is…

Get our Birdsville best bets for Friday September 4, with the first day of the Birdsville Carnival featuring key runners, form analysis and betting opportunities across the meeting. Race 1 – RFDS QTIS Maiden Plate (1200 METRES) No. 6 Secret Suspicion SECRET SUSPICION (6) is having her first start for Lachie Manzelmann after failing at her last start at Eagle Farm for Steele Ryan.  The five-year-old mare looks better suited to provincial and country racing and just needs to replicate her effort over 1000m at Eagle Farm two starts ago.  On that occasion, she led the field and fought on late when run down to finish 1.07 lengths third.  Jake…

2026 Chelmsford Stakes Day Tips & Preview

2026 Chelmsford Stakes Day Tips & Preview

• Craig Sheppard
The Chelmsford Stakes headlines a quality 10-race card at Randwick this Saturday. The Group 2 Concorde Stakes, Tramway Stakes and Furious Stakes add plenty of depth to the program. The Listed Drinkwise Cup is another feature worth watching. The track is rated a Soft 5, and fine weather could lead to some improvement before race day. The rail is out 3m for the entire course, so the early races should provide a useful guide to the track conditions. That makes the speed map and early positioning important across the meeting. Our race analysis looks at the key runners, main winning…

Redrafting the 2024 Draft

Redrafting the 2024 Draft

• GuyWhoLikesSport
Just two years after a “legacy” draft, where Richmond had four picks in the top 15 including the first overall pick, the Tigers are 2-17 and below an Essendon team in the middle of an identity crisis that Steve Carell in Crazy Stupid Love would be embarrassed by. Poor skill execution is dearly hurting Richmond, according to head coach Adem Yze.https://t.co/nNywSM4uAF— AFL (@AFL) July 26, 2026 With the senior pillars of the club fading, in particular Nathan Broad, the young players taken highly in the 2024 draft either aren’t playing or aren’t stepping up.
