Only one person in the office tipped Richmond. She was coming last overall so I think she can have that one.

Quote from: Papy Oli on May 12, 2023, 04:01:37 AMoh well, so it goes sometimes...

Next week off to Freo.

at least, @Holden will have a happier Friday !

A 50/50 Friday in that I backed both the Cats and the Suns. Your little hint earlier in the week that injury might play a part in the Cats result appears to have an element of insight.

Papy Oli · May 14, 2023, 01:03:35 AM

Well, the Saints took quite a beating!!

Papy Oli · May 19, 2023, 11:27:27 PM

I don't like daytime games with an orange footy....

Papy Oli · May 20, 2023, 01:32:28 AM

Second very poor game on the trot for the Cats.

To be fair, Freo played a blinder with some very slick phases. Should have been much worse that 29 down. Tough apprenticeship for the kittens

Man, we miss Papy Dangerfield in the middle...

How about North Melbourne losing the game to the Swans on a 50m penalty for a breach of interchange (!) with a minute to go ?!?!

Great Scott (the other one)!!

Essendon snapping the win by 1pt with 7 seconds to go... you've got to love that sport.

Seeing Damien Hardwick seething is a bonus

I haven't been watching games this weekend, and there are now several score lines indicating that I definitely should have been watching!

Well, that's this little pleasure gone now...

aaarrrghhh... 3rd loss in a row for Geelong. Picked up during Q3 on AFL Nation radio, cats spent most of the time 20 points behind. Came back within 2 with 2 minutes to go. Lost by 7.

It is the hope that kills you.

(on the plus side, I know the names of the Cats players these days so I know what's happening on the radio compared to 2 years ago

)

This week is a mess in tipping. Maybe if I knew that GWS has now won at Geelong 3 times in a row I would've tipped differently. That's just crazy!

Holden · May 27, 2023, 10:37:33 PM

....and I would have backed the Suns if I'd realised they were playing in Darwin.

Papy Oli · May 28, 2023, 03:23:16 AM

Upset after upset after upset this week.

thankfully, the Roos are still doing their bit

I'll be interested to see the scores after this weeks tipping

Madiel · May 29, 2023, 12:38:03 AM

I got 4, but the best anyone at work managed was 5.

It was the last 4 games that I got right.

Papy Oli · June 03, 2023, 04:11:38 AM

A much-needed and gutsy win this morning for Geelong

(that cheers me up a fair bit after last night's French Football)

PS: hang in there, Suns, we could do with Port Adelaide to drop some points!!

Papy Oli · June 04, 2023, 01:12:32 AM

Bombers v Roos is a cracking game at the minute...

93-93 with 5 minutes to go

Papy Oli · June 04, 2023, 01:15:12 AM

99-99

3 minutes...

Come on Roos, hang in there...

Papy Oli · June 04, 2023, 01:22:03 AM

105-99 for the Bombers at FT.

NM deserved better on that game.

That sport is bonkers...

Papy Oli · June 07, 2023, 08:51:02 AM

just looked at the fixtures for this weekend....

what the hell are @Holden and I supposed to do this weekend ?!?!

Madiel · June 07, 2023, 04:21:54 PM

Support Collingwood? *shrug*
