Tia Maria is amazingly still with us(!) and still doing well too which was obviously the very best gift of the weekend - and we have all shared in some really yummy Eas..."

Glad Tia's still going strong Suze, sincerely. We had thunder yesterday with pebble-like hail stones; battered the hell outta our sat dish resulting in loss of TV for short periods. Heaps of hail stuck around outside for an hour-or-two after the storm. Saw someone walking a little dog mid-shower and picking it up, hiding the poor mutt inside their coat. Good old Brit weather eh?

Well done to David for getting a full house! It's not easy! Nor is it easy to score a big fat zero so a special award goes to Suzy's charity too. A few tipsters regained some form this week making it tight at the top. But do check your scores!!

[theDuke]

Wow..i got 8! Congrats David on the first full house of the season....if only i'd had tipped the Crows eh!

And equal applause to Suzy for getting null points....that's just as hard to achieve!

And i'm happy to open my account, with my galorious Giants bagging the high score...won in fine form..keep it up, my Sidney lads! :)

[TheFoe]

I don't understand how Suzy got nil points, when the results state she scored 4?

[suzysunshine7]

You mean I have even lost in all my efforts at losing?!! ;oO

WoW?!! - I really AM good at this, aren't I?!! ... Hee, Hee, Hee!!! ;o>

[Val]

My mistake in posting 4 - it really was a big fat zero. I've corrected the ladder.

[suzysunshine7]

Ohhh YES! ... not just any ordinary little zero but a BIG F A T zerO!!! ;o>

I love how passionate this country is about footy. Here's a brief trailer from a new doco on champion player Adam Goodes who ignited a debate on Australian racism:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHm6s...

Paul Kelly and Dan Sultan have written and recorded a song (and it's a good one, IMO) for the film:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3OJ0...

EDIT: Paul Kelly is a lifelong Swans supporter.

[Val]

Tonight's result:

Collingwood Magpies (Tech) v Port Adelaide Power (Grizzly)
7.6.48 (Q1) 0.3.3
8.12.60 (Q2) 5.6.36
11.17.83 (Q3) 6.7.43
15.18.108 (Q4) 10.9.69

A comfortable home win by 39 points has the Pies looking the real deal this season. I think they're still smarting from last year's Grand Final loss, so look out opponents, the Pies are on the march. And Dean is our winner of the closest margin. He picked the Pies by 36 points so he wins $6.00 for the sacred Heart Mission. Well done!

[suzysunshine7]

YAYYY!!! - Congratulations Dean! ... x ;o>

[Dean]

Woohoo, that's my first bit of jingle this season :-)

Nick will be glad he stuck with his Demons, likewise Blastro and his Bulldogs. Anita will be further miffed by her Swans' performance. But it is Grizzly who is once again showing us how it's done. 6 from 6 so far.

I'm not hustling, honest! :)

I just look at the games when you post them up, Val, then just go "that one, that one" and so on until I've picked all nine.
