Sign of a top tipper, 2 of our top ranking tippers are hawks/blues supporters.. Tipping with their head and not their heart. Hard to do.

I got the margain this week.. Woo Hoo. 26pts bombers vs pies.

One leader has tumbled and I am waiting for the other to do the same and then I'll strike. Adam, can you feel the pressure building now that you are on top? Do you try and tip a few outsiders this week and get the break on us all?

It is all about mind games now.

Bah. Mind games. The only time I have ever focused on what other people may tip was in the final round a few years ago. Other than that I don't really care what people do, for me it is all about reading the games, something that is bloody hard to do this year!

[AdzT3-146]

yeh i tryed to go against other people in round 22 last year at school., went *** up and finished 3rd.

i'll just keep sticking to my routine and take it week by week lol. :P

[flavze]

hmm me thinks i need a couple of 8's an the rest of ya to have a few bad weeks to have a chance.

[JADED6]

1 week at a time...
I'm only 8 behind.

[Hawk]

Ooo it is very close isn't it.

Luckily I got 7 last round...Round 20 coming up looks decidedly difficult in a couple of matches.

Yeah, sorry guys, i moved house and didn't have any internet access... i think it is a bit late to redeam myself though... :

[AdzT3-146]

2 rounds to go fellas not much between the top 3.
Shawn, Marty... Bring it on lol :jab:

[flavze]

Bloody melbourne gettin up over the dogs an brissy losin at home stuffed me this week. I went with freo an geelong an thought i was gonna have a ripper early on but got stuffed over by the dees an power....

[Hawk]

I only got 2 tips!!! Disgraceful round for me, although I could say I deliberately went bad because I am going for priority tips.

[AdzT3-146]

haha, nice one shawn.

i only got 4 and i thought that i was going to lose the lead for sure.

dont worry i have been in this postition before and choked so your still not without a chance.

4 KEY INCLUSIONS FOR WEST COAST EAGLES
Woo Hoo..
And the news gets even better for West coast fans. Brett Burton is out for the crows.
Half the reason i hate him so much is he tends to get a lot of the ball against west coast. That depletes Adelaides running stocks a bit.
My tip, West Coast +24points

[JADED6]

Oh boy..
Adelaide's defence was flawless, consistently flawless.
The amount of times they succeded in getting the 2nd & 3rd kicks to a man out of defence was unreal.
Eh....

[AdzT3-146]

I Win

[Hawk]

Brilliant work ef_classic. Definately deserved the win. Just out of interest who did you miss out on this week? I knew I had to go for a couple of outsiders to attempt to bring back the 2 tip margin so I went for Adelaide and Richmond, very nearly got Richmond but it wouldn't have mattered anyway - you covered yourself very well.

I will finish of though by using my stock standard response though after every footy season - I hate footy tipping and am never going to do it again! I takes all the fun out of it!!!!

[Pursuit250]

I'd like to say that I was happy to come in third but in all reality there was only about 5 of us tipping fulltime so that means I came middle of the pack : It seems that next year I'll have to brush up on my points difference as I think I managed to get the highest amount on the table.

Next year I'll be able to start tipping Carlton again (priority picks, : ). As far as this finals series goes I think I won't be watching much after the second week when all the Melbourne based teams get bundled out.

My tip for the GF is Sydney. Adelaide lost their chance when Roo decided to rearrange someones head.

Anyone else have a tip for the GF?

i tipped the eagles.

i'm going for adelaide - sydney grand final.

[flavze]

What was the final results? I got 7 the last two weeks, just kept tippin against Port. Couldn't bring myself to tip them to win, bloody freo had em on the ropes at half time an then blew it!

Hopefully Roo gets off as he should an we go straight through the finals without droppin a game! I don't think he'll get more than 2 at the worst making him available for the GF, and considering the consistent even form of the rest of the team i reckon we can cover him. Marty Mattner an Burton have been two ripper players for us over the last couple of months an we covered them alright, Massie came in an played like he had been in the team all year!

North Melbourne will knock off Port's first up, an i reckon Geelong will get one back on melbourne for that one point win a week or so ago. The crows will clean up the saints but i can't pick a winner outa West Coast an Sydney. Sydney are in ripper form but West Coast will be bloody determined not to drop another game at home after losin on the weekend!
St Kilda's defence looks to weak an undermanned to go all the way, Gonna be Crows an whoever wins out West Coast an Sydney this week in the GF!

[flavze]

Roo got one match, hopefully that has him nice an fresh for the prelim if the boys are good enough to deliver against the saints!

[flavze]

well that all didn't quite go as planned! :
Bloody better not lose to Ports this week, though they are in some decent form.
If ya don't ever here from me again after this weekend it's cus i've commited suicide! :
