5 out of 6 so far. My one wrong tip being Gold Coast winning. Didn't see that happening. Tipped Hawthorn for Tuesdays game.

I'm 4/6 so far and have gone for the Cats so hopefully we'll both be 5/7 by tomorrow

4/6 so far and tipped the Pussys so hopefully have 5/7 at the end of today. Wishing I had the balls to tip Gold Coast.

I'm having last minute nerves. I am seriously thinking of changing my tip to the Doggies.

Lucky you didnt mate!

Yeah, it was a tough call though after they had been flogged in their early games... still it just shows how rubbish Port Adelaide are

If you seriously tipped Gold Coast, I tip my hat to you my good sir for having the balls to do so.

Ah. Then you got 6 because 3 teams had a bye this week meaning 7 games.

Shit. Bet you were rubbing your hands together half way through the last quarter of Carlton/Adelaide. Not a bad bet mind you.

Tell me about it.

Was sitting next to the Geelong cheering squad which made it even worse.

No Mitchell or Rioli for Port.

Our defence sucks.

pepe_carra_stevie_nando · « **Reply #2333 on:** April 27, 2011, 08:26:58 AM »

As long as Mitchell accepts the reprimand, he is free against Hawks. Although, he will have 93.75 carry over points for the next 12 months. You don't even need Rioli or Mitchell against Port though.

Err, I'm 3rd, though to be fair having done 3 years in Melbourne maybe that disqualifies me as a Pom?!

Rusty · « **Reply #2335 on:** April 27, 2011, 10:50:31 AM »

Tipped all home games this week, that gives me Adelaide at home to the Saints as my one upset for the round.

Our lot playing Gold Coast, this is the first week I've tipped us, if we play like we have so far this year then we should get over the line fairly easily, fingers crossed.

nicholasanthony · « **Reply #2336 on:** April 27, 2011, 11:37:54 AM »

Went with Port to beat my Roos, Melbourne to steal one out west, and Adelaide at home as my upsets. I have to be aggressive now.

RedmeisterOZ · « **Reply #2337 on:** April 27, 2011, 11:49:13 AM »

Thanks Clarkson for not holding a lead.

Zones work sometimes, not all the time.

Hard round to pick this week. I just had a look at the the Rawk ladder and BSBW is starting to make his run.

(We'll have to put a stop to that

)
Gold Coast become a bit of a wild card, because I reckon they played some good, direct footy against Port.

Fair play to Richmond - and at the risk of sounding patronising I find it hard to be angry at them if they win and cost me a point in the tipping, I just think of all the pain they have put their own fans through for the last 30 years and that reminds me not to begrudge them any success that comes their way

Fuck them.

Surely you will beat Port. If you don't then some drastic changes are needed I think.

Just seen the press conference for the new T.V rights and it is ridiculously good if you have foxtel.

All 9 games live
Friday night games live into Victoria (not too sure about other states)
All finals except GF live
New A.F.L channel on Fox Sports in the same mould as Fox Footy Channel
Brownlow live on the new channel
All pre-season games live

Next season is going to be awesome.

1billion+ for the AFL, just hope the actual players get their deserved slice of the pie. Most aren't paid enough imo.

Alot of it will be going to grass roots and expansion i think. Adam Goodes did come out and say he hopes the rookie wages go up from this because they are seriously underpaid compared to senior listed players.

So are these Nick Reiwolt/Zac Dawson rumours true?

Just a 'yes' or a 'no' will suffice...

pepe_carra_stevie_nando · « **Reply #2348 on:** April 28, 2011, 11:04:43 AM »

What rumours? Am I missing something here?

Kahuna{=}Berger · « **Reply #2349 on:** April 28, 2011, 11:17:52 AM »

Apparently there's a photo due to surface of them that makes the one of Zlatan and Pique look unremarkable.

pepe_carra_stevie_nando · « **Reply #2350 on:** April 28, 2011, 11:33:00 AM »

Really? Reiwoldt already had a nude photo circling around that Sam Gilbert took of him but surely he doesn't have another one.

Coin toss DK. Both defensively minded and have some great forward targets who sometimes

wait forever for the ball to come their way. St. Kilda, 2011 vintage, is under pressure due to their poor start to the season. Adelaide, can play attractive footy but are continually rearranging lineups due to injury. Crows 21-30.

That's where you'll find me too

I've plumped for the Saints and given them one last chance to recover their form. They're on their final warning though.

Nah, we don't. Was pretty shaded with the loss to Geelong. Buddy should stay in the fifty. Clarkson should stop putting him on the wing.

I feel the same way about Pavlich. I think he is best playing from CHF but Harvey keeps playing him out of the centre. I suppose he adds some strength to there since alot of our on ballers are all quite small except Mundy. Once we get Barlow back I expect Pav to stay up forward more.

Great win by Carlton last night. First time in 18 years. Judd is a champion.
