Bathurst

Who is looking forward to the big race?

I followed the touring cars as a kid and was a Dick Johnson tragic, but I lost interest when he retired and all the cars started looking the same. Drivers were swapping teams between Holden and Ford and I didn’t follow it for decades.

When Dick Johnson joined with Penske, I found myself sucked right back in again and I am to the point now that I love it.

So, grab ya Winny Reds, a stezza with some Acca Dacca on it, ya favourite flanny and GO SCOTTY McLACHLAN!!!

  • I still watch it. But don't really have the interest like I used to. As you say, all the cars are the same now and it used to be a lot more chaotic when it wasn't part of the championship as you had privateers in all sorts of cars lining up for that one race against the pro teams. 

    Plus, I was a Peter Brock fan for so long, followed him from the HDT days, then in his various Mobil 1 Racing cars (Commodore, BMW, Sierra then back to a Commodore, then I started follwing HRT when he joined them in 1993. When HRT folded and merged with Triple 8 Racing, I lost interest in that team and started following David Reynolds, mainly because of his stunner of a missus. 

    • Yes, Ms Reynolds is quite the catch for Dave.

      I am enjoying watching the Mustangs succeed and they are very different looking to the Holdens.

      Man they look awesome and I hope that we see a couple of Mustang drivers on the podium.

      Chaz Mostert is smashing it this year and may be a smokey.

              • Bathurst never fails to deliver. And no refereeing controversy. I was on Reynolds all day, and until that last safety car, he was right there. Always love watching Bathurst no matter who wins

"He needs developing. Eels need a FG half today. It doesn't make any sense to persist with him. Cleary will destroy him this weekend."

"Definitely use Kelly until Will is back. Far to early to be blooding cup players yet. Not sure if they should move Sean over to Bailey wing and slide Bailey to centre. Ado and Kelly might work as a pairing but ill leave it to Rylesy"

"I thought the ground announcer got the vibe pretty well. And he was full of passion. It didn't come off like a TV journo or MC simply chalking up a weekend gig."

"I don't like his chances up north, he needs a few more years developing before he leads a team like that. Maybe Anasta can see how that's playing out and pull the pin on that move. I see a good 7 in Pezet but it's down the road a bit yet "

French needs combinations with his edge, fullback, hooker and halfback. As well understanding the defence.

Jonah Pezet so far

Only 3 games into his eels career, plenty of ups and downs from Pezet but for the most part he seems a solid young half. His defence needs a lot of work but not sure moving to Brisbane and facing all of that pressure is going to help him. Looks like…

I know someone posted on here a while ago asking for feedback etc etc. I thought they did an excellent job yesterday and I'm so glad they dropped that god awful techno version of enter sandman. The atmosphere yesterday was really good. I love how…
