How did the tipping go in this 1st week, @Madiel ?

Tricky I expect with a Brisbane loss and a North Melbourne win...and that opening draw ?  ;D

Well the draw translated as a win for everybody. But no, it didn't go well. My tradition of winning the first week did not hold. So I'll just have to win the last one, but I hope to get a few others along the way.

What a really scrappy game this morning/evening.

44-36 down at HT. It should be much worse, Carlton builds up really well, we've been lucky their shooting hasn't been as precise. Geelong looks ragged. They have to do so much running around defensively that the whole team always seems to be stuck inside their own 50-70m and when they can counter attack, the midfield is empty and there's Hawkins on his own in the Carlton's 50 with 3 or 4 Blues around him.  ???

1. I haven't been watching as yet.

2. No no no, don't muck up the tipping again this early!

Yeah, and I'm not sure I'd heard it for a while!

No I don't think that Geelong's season is over just yet. It's a tricky couple of rounds to begin with and it's not as if they've been thrashed.

And the Dees nearly pulled a comeback from 40 down pre-powercut...

Carlton (saw the last QT against GWS earlier) and Collingwood (Richmond were poor! ) confirming.

At least, some normality is returning: North Melbourne is losing again  ;D

St Kilda is all guns blazing, straight from the off right now. Eric Bana (in the crowd) is happy.

No, this is not allowed NOW. Not after two weeks of misleading me and Hawthorn also looking hopeless.

I am not making good progress on the tipping ladder. The only consolation is that nobody else is doing much better. Every single person in the office has tipped Port Adelaide, and I did consider tipping Adelaide because their local derbies often go against form. But did I actually follow through on this idea? No, I did not.

Quite. Just woke up to this result.

Going to be a long season. Ah well.

Swans v Port Adelaide for breakfast.

Might have to support the Swans in this instance, so that we don't lose touch with one more team...  >:D

Tipping still going well ?  ;D
