Thanks for the (much needed) reminder Lez and Suzy! 👍

Richmond #36

Collingwood
Melbourne
Adelaide
Swans
West Coast
St Kilda
Greater Western
Rooos

Cheers Val
and good luck everyone for the coming season

[suzysunshine7]

We're definitely getting there now ;o>

I've messaged Dean and Philip - and I hope that SussexWelsh's Perth friend can make it as well.

[Lez]

We need an automatic messaging service for these recalcitrant folks!

[suzysunshine7]

They've got us! - LOL!!! ;o>

[Dean]

Tigers 28
Pies
Demons
Crows
Dogs
Eagles
Saints
Bombers
Roos

Good luck everyone, and thanks for the nudge Suzy.

[suzysunshine7]

Almost everyone now! ;o>

[Val]

Thank you everyone for your early tipping and thank you to all the prodders too. I'm sure Philip will be along before this evening and I do hope Sussex's old mate will make it too. Even if the first one or two games are missed, late entries are still eligible. I have no faith in Round One tips but here goes anyway:

Tigers x 29
Pies
Dees
Crows
Swans
Lions
Suns
Giants
Freo

Good luck everyone!!!!

[Val]

I will be out for tonight's ball-up (going to a trivia night at a local cafe) but will be home before the final siren so will be able to post the results.

As always, we start the season with:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeJNF...

You should all be able to sing along after eight years!

[suzysunshine7]

It's 5 minutes to 2 in the Morning here, Val ;o>

... and I don't think that M&D ever appreciate me singing anything anyway?!! - LOL!!!

[Philip]

Once again I have missed the beginning of the season but thanks to Suzy I can punt on the rest of the fixtures...

Geelong
Melbourne
Adelaide
Sydney
West Coast
St Kilda
Essendon
Fremantle

[Val]

Tonight's result:

Carlton Blues (RedJohn) v Richmond Tigers (Philip)
0.1.1 (Q1) 5.4.34
4.4.28 (Q2) 7.8.50
8.5.56 (Q3) 10.9.69
9.10.64 (Q3) 14.13.97

Tigers home by 33 points, but losing star defender Alex Rance to a knee injury. If it's serious, this will be a major blow for Richmond.

Sussex takes out our first win of the season. He was spot on with the Tigers by 33. $6.00 goes to the Save The Bilby Fund. Well done that man!!

[suzysunshine7]

Always better late than never, Philip ;o>

[suzysunshine7]

YAYYY!!! - Congratulations SussexWelsh! ;o>

[Lez]

Great start, SW!

[[deleted user]]

Cheers Val, but I'm not celebrating yet - might've already peaked :)

[TheFoe]

Demons beaten by Power, seriously.........d**ks!

[Val]

You think you've got problems Foe???? You should have seen my Bombers today. I made myself watch the whole disaster. It wasn't so much that they were bad as that the Giants beat them in every aspect of the game - and that was without Josh Kelly, Callan Ward, Shane Mumford and other stars. Scary stuff!

St Kilda Saints (Lez) v Gold Coast Suns (Suzy)
4.1.25 (Q1) 5.2.32

7.8.50 (Q2) 2.5.17
10.13.73 (Q3) 3.8.26
16.16.112 (Q4) 5.10.40

Fremantle Dockers (unwanted) v North Melbourne Kangaroos (Steve)
5.4.34 (Q1) 2.0.12
11.9.75 (Q2) 6.0.36

Our tipsters' ladder is as follows:

Round 1 (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 7 (28)
Blastro on 6 (6)
Lez on 6 (10)
Anita on 6 (12)
Suzy on 5 (40)
Duke on 4 (2)
Val on 4 (4)
David on 4 (6)
Tech on 4 (10)
RedJohn on 4 (14)
Foe on 4 (22)
SussexWelsh on 3 (0)
Sj Brooke (Steve) on 3 (3)
Dean on 3 (5)
Philip on 3 (50)

Charity donations are:

Highest score - Freo 141 - Not allocated - $6.00 will be added to the pot for distribution at the end of the season.
Sussex (Save The Bilby Foundation) - A$6.00 (closest margin)
Grizzly (Red Nose) - A$11.00 (weekly winner)

Well done Grizzly - and Blastro, Lez and Anita. This was a horrendous round for tipping. PLEASE check your scores. I'm a bit rusty and have probably made some errors.

Apologies Duke, and Blastro too. I checked all the scores again and you are indeed on 4 points. And Blastro got 6 right and is officially in second place. I have amended the table accordingly. Thanks for checking.

[suzysunshine7]

YAYYY!!! - well-punted Blastro! ;o>

[Blastronaut]

Cheers Suze, and good going Grizz! Am usually pathetic when it comes to the scores - always double figures - so getting within a single digit... well, it'll certainly do for me. Mind, while I'm being so pleased with meself, I remember that Sussex - to use a pugilistic term - hit it right down the pipe, thus urinating on my parade a little! : )

Upon closer inspection of the standings it appears that several others got closer than me with the score! Well, it's just not a parade at all now izzit? That'll teach me to be so pleased with meself.

[suzysunshine7]

You're in second place just behind Grizzly so far - enjoy your parade! ;o>
