got 5 picks...i'll take it...i am 300000th out of over 800000 people in the tipping comp, thats mad, even if loads are fake accounts for some reasons...thats loads of people for a comp not watched much outside aussie...and thats the people doing to tips, there will be loads more that just watch the games like i did before this year
-
what did you miss? The suns and who?
-
for some reason i had GWS over richmond....i remember thinking "its still richmond" and as a swans fan and because toby greene is a fuckncukle i hate GWS....so must have just hit the wrong button
-
GWS probably should’ve won that game too.
Thursday night footy is back for the next 6 weeks. I still think it’s crazy that the AFL don’t have it as a permanent feature each week.

Adelaide
WTF?
Clicked on sometime in the 2nd Q and we were comfortably ahead. 60 odd to 20 odd or something.
The Fuck?
-
loooooooooooooool
Two clubs desperate to stay relevant have all their historical Cups out before the game? The cringe level is off the charts. Essendon haven't won a final in two decades, and Carlton are just as bad. Let it go dickheads, you mean less to this comp than the Suns in 2023
Also Saturday never happened
-
4/8...bloody hell its hard to tip!
-
Was nice seeing the Pies knocked down. Even though I like the coach and don’t mind most of this crop of players, and the way they play - but can’t have them winning all the time given their fan base…
Great week - Thursday Saints, Friday Warriors, Saturday Saders.

we're sort of halfway through this longer season. 23 games means you need 13 wins to make finals (12 and a draw might get you in, but i wouldn't want to rely on that).
Which means the teams on 8 wins are basically penned in, and that's 6 spots
Then it gets tight. Adelaide and the Bulldogs only need to go 5-5 from here out. BUT, the three teams behind them on 6 wins (Geelong, Freo, GC) have an extra game left.
Everyone below them would need to go on a tear to get in, including Sydney, who are probably the only other semi-realistic (mathematically at least) chance. Everyone else needs to go at least 7-3 from here out, which would be a pretty significant change in form.If Geelong can get fit, then i pick them to jump in to the 8, but the other 7 teams who are already there to stay.

...i swear to go if Powerhouse hadn;t won on sat i would have been pissed ot have missed that swannies game...double century?! i know it was only WA but
- we havent exactly been on fire recently
- i know its happened before but not often!
-
Even comp
Collingwood obviously the best side. Rest of the top 4 very even, though the Lions are weak as piss and have obviously developed a fatal allergy to the 'G
Then 5th to 15th varying levels of average, but all still a mathematic chance of playing finals. how? Do the Saints, Bulldogs, Bombers and Adelaide just keep losing? Before i went away they were all but safe? Fucking GWS and Carlton are suddenly in the mix? What happened? -
Richmond with a huge last quarter comeback against the Hawks (not that it should've required that sort of effort)
Here's hoping next week the Saints leapfrog Carlton (who should never be in the top eight).

lol this post aged like milk
Since i posted this:
St kilda have gone 2-4 (with small wins against the two reserve grade sides)
Essendon have gone 1-4
Adelaide have gone 1-4
The Bulldogs have gone 3-3
Geelong 2-1-2
Sydney 3-1-2Meanwhile GWS and Carlton have won 5 straight, and Richmond have gone 4-1
Great last few rounds as well, with heaps of games between 9-odd teams aiming for the bottom half of the 8
-
Top 3 all lose!
Fun year
-
deadset this is the weirdest season
As above, the top 3 all lost. Melbourne, the Saints, GWS and Carlton all got wins. The Dogs lost, the cats lost. Richmond lost when a win would have got them well in to the 8. Essendon lost.
With four games to go, there are still 14 or maybe even 15 teams that are thinking they can play finals.
And fuck knows who wins the whole thing. Nothing would surprise me this year.

so, was back in NZ last week...hence not going to the game on sat...but went from 9 out of 9 last weekend to 4 out of 9 this week...tipping is hard!
