Val H. | 22288 comments Our tipsters' ladder is as follows:

Round 15 (first number is correct number of wins - you want this to be high; number in brackets is the cumulative margin which is used to separate punters on the same amount of points - you want this to be low)

Grizzly on 6 (1)
David on 6 (4)
Duke on 5 (18)
Tech on 5 (23)
Sj Brooke (Steve) on 5 (28)
Val on 5 (29)
Philip on 5 (36)
Lez on 5 (49)
Suzy on 4 (1)
SussexWelsh on 4 (22)
Blastro on 4 (27)
Anita on 4 (35)
RedJohn on 3 (7)
Foe on 3 (20)
Dean on 3 (22)

Charity donations are:

David (The Song Room) - $6.00 (Highest score - Lions 107)
Suzy (Friends With Dignity) and Grizzly (RedNose) - A$6.00 each (closest margin)
Grizzly (Red Nose) - A$11.00 (weekly winner)

CUMULATIVE LADDER:

Tech on 84 (456)
David on 83 (396)
Sj Brooke (Steve) on 80 (463)
Val on 78 (388)
RedJohn on 78 (540)
Dean on 75 (398)
Grizzly on 74 (471)
Lez on 73 (443)
Blastro on 73 (500)
Duke on 72 (406)
SussexWelsh on 71 (390)
Philip on 71 (548)
Anita on 70 (472)
Foe on 61 (531)
Suzy on 42 (540)

Yes, it was another of THOSE rounds. Who thought Carlton would upset Freo and on the latter's home ground over in the west? Well obviously Grizzly and Suzy had inside info! Who thought the Pies would turn turtle and give up? Again, Suzy. And who thought the Bulldogs could go over to Adelaide and upset Port? That woman Suzy! Well done to Grizzly (who did the double) and David for tipping 6 winners, to Suzy for also getting closest to the pin on margins, and that man again, David, whose Lions look so good going forward. Young Eric Hipworth is a goal machine. We need more Erics! (except I always think of Eric Olthwaite, the most boring man in the world).

Craig White | 6727 comments poor millie f*** aw! you throw in tackles like that, you don't stay on the park! the england women were simply not as good as the americans (no disgrace)
the real winner of this tournament is VAR, as it does it's best to completely sterilize football. i think that if the league you play in doesn't use VAR, it shouldn't be used in international games where mibbe one team, or both, has no experience of it! but hey ho

Blastronaut  | 1061 comments English women can't take bloody penalties, that I do know; what wuz that, third one missed in a row? The Yanks are the best team in the world but our lasses coulda still come away with a win last night. They got nowt to be ashamed of - especially Helen White; ultra cool finishing throughout the tournament and if not for her big toe being offside, would've made it 2-2. That defence really needs sorting out tho - just spectators as the US headed those two goals with apparent ease.

Val H. | 22288 comments Thanks Lez, I think?? It doesn't sound very festive but at our age, we takes what we can get. I had my free bone density test today (yippee) and in the mail, the Dept. of Health tells me it is sending me another bowel cancer testing kit. Free at 65 and at 70 now. I tell you, it's all to look forward to now!

Anyroad, it's good to see you back in our midst and I hope the Laxido and gluten free Madeira cake have made you feel more chipper than before.

Tigers (shoe in of the week!)
Crows (Crows hard to beat at home)
Cats (C'mon..course it's the Cats!)
Eagles (Reigning premiers against the Dockers?)
Demons (Dees are showing a lotta promise currently)
Roos (after last week's upset performance...they should get this)
GIANTS (both high scoring teams..but GWS are well smarting from last week's loss!)

Good luck folks & cheers Val.

In Perth it's "the derby" (pronounced "dirby") between Freo and the Eagles; in Adelaide it's "the showdown" between Port and the Crows. Presumably the other games will be just the usual "stoush".

We're all here so may the best woman or man win!

4.9.33 (Q3) 6.7.43
9.13.67 (Q4) 9.9.63

Four clever tipsters chose the Hawks and two of those share the spoils with the closest margin predictions. Duke (Hawks x 5) and Grizzly (Hawks x 3) both earn $6.00 for their respective charities - Insight and Red Nose. Smarter than me!!

The Eagles are now in a chance of taking lead...things are hotting up!

I gotta ask...but how much longer can the poor Suns expect to continue like this...7 years since they were formed? If they don't start putting a consistantly good performance in soon..will they be around for much longer?

Their future won't be decided by the club or the fans but by the AFL. It's their baby, the idea of expanding the game into the rugby-loving states of Queensland and New South Wales. Unfortunately, fans are fickle beings and are attracted by success. In the early 2000s the Lions won three consecutive Grand Finals. Crowds were huge. Since then they have slumped dramatically and crowd sizes have followed. Now, they seem to have regained their mojo and the crowds are back. But they are based in a big city (Brisbane). The Gold Coast is home to tourists, beach babes and retirees. So not ideal. But I suspect the AFL will dig their heels in and refuse to budge. And all the while, Tasmania is an Aussie Rules-mad state which has produced heaps of champion players and would love a home-based club (not Hawthorn or the Roos). Will the AFL listen? Pig's bum!
