Well done Port Power - they did the hard work, not me :)

Congratulations to you, suzy , on getting the closest margin and also to David for coming out on top this week :)

[David]

Thanks Suzy and Grizzly and well done to you both

[theDuke]

Well..i can't be any more 'average' if i tried this year....stuck for ever more right bang in the middle of the ladder! Exciting battle going on between the two ladder 'toppers' Tech & David; only the margin seperating them currently. But who'll be crowned this year's champion?? Nail biting stuff! :)

Hearty congratulations to all of this round's winners.

[suzysunshine7]

My Mum bought this to try to stop me from biting my Nails when I was a Child - but I got used to the taste and carried on until I was almost into my 20's - LOL!!! ;o> ...

[Anita]

Snap Suzy,it never worked for me either.

[suzysunshine7]

No, it was a pretty 'orrible taste but it was still not enough of a disgusting deterrent to put off the most determined of Nail Biters ;o>

I became a Student Nurse at 18 and so my daily tasks started off with being made in sole charge of dealing with my allocated Ward's Bottles, Bed Pans & Commodes! I used to scrub my Hands thoroughly so many times a day that I lost count - and any further appeal of wanting to continue to bite my Nails just stopped abruptly from my very first day of work onwards! - LOL!!! ;o>

Duke's gonna love this! I didn't watch the game but just look at those scores!

Tonight's result:

Greater Western Sydney Giants (Duke) v Hawthorn Hawks (available)
2.1.13 (Q1) 3.1.19
4.1.25 (Q2) 6.2.38
4.2.26 (Q3) 10.5.65
4.5.29 (Q4) 13.7.85

Once again, it is Miss Sunshine who takes all the kudos - the only one to pick the Hawks and she has the closest margin, so $6.00 heading towards Friends With Dignity. Congratulations Suzy - again!!!!!

[Val]

Suzy, I only just saw your message about Anita not getting here before the bounce despite your messaging. She must have been caught up with work. I'll leave it open in hopes she can post tips for the remaining 8 games. Odds are she would have tipped the Giants like the rest of us idiots, so no points for that but I'll give her an average margin so her points don't blow out completely.

9.15.69 (Q4) 1.8.14

I was at the Essendon/Doggies games and it was a very ordinary night. Despite tipping the Dogs (Essendon has a long list of injured players), I did have my fingers crossed and when they scored in the opening minute, I thought maybe we had a chance. But that was their one shining moment. From then on, it was all Bulldogs. With 10 minutes to go there was just that one lonely goal against Essendon's name. They did manage 3 late goals, but all that elicited was ironic cheers from the Bulldogs' fans. A night to forget!

Don't knock them! The Suns scored more than Carlton, Essendon, North Melbourne and the Giants, scored the same as the Demons and the Swans only scored 3 points more. Plus they were beaten by a gun team who are only second on the ladder on percentage!

[suzysunshine7]

Ohhh, well I suppose I do feel a bit better about them now then, Val ;o>

[David]

Well done Suzy and Val
