Thanks for the birthday wishes you lovely folk, very much appreciated. Happy Birthday Foe! Sorry it's a tad late bud. Shit happens y'know. Mother's in hospital after suffering a stroke and pneumonia. On top of her dementia, we obviously feared the worst but nope, she's not having that bless her; she's kicking the crap outta it and is doing well. Reckon she's after Lez's Warrior Award. : )
Many thanks for the kind messages Suze and Val. Huge slice of respect out to yous!!
Great to see you on here Blastro. I'm so glad your Mum is holding her own. I hope she is getting quality care where she is and won't be discharged until she's as well as she can be. What a worry for you. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I hope you managed to celebrate your birthday in some way.

You know i couldn't make my mind up over who to tip on that game...i must switched from the Dees and me Giants half a dozen times.....i wish stuck with your lot now! :)
The final round is going to be a right battle ground for 8th place..there's at least 4 teams that could do it....but somehow i don't think the Sydney bunch have got what it takes this year.
Thanks for the kind words y'all. Will pass them on. Very damn decent of yous. Cheers.When's the next round?
Val, i'd noticed that my tips for round 17 was only showing 8 tips, I'd missed out the Hawks v Bulldogs when i typed it out. I'd chosen the Bulldogs well before the round kicked off, and have now added them in, but seeing as the game has played, if you feel that it can't be counted..then no worries. An oversight alas.Blastro, the final home and away round begins on Thurs forthcoming.
Cheers Duke, I got a bit of time to peruse the table and such then, tho fat lot of use it's done me up to now. : )

Much obliged to you Val, cheers. :)
I'm very relieved to see that the plucky Crows got another win in. It'll be their last though, as i very much doubt they'll defeat the mighty Tigers!
Tonight's result:Collingwood Magpies (tech) v Gold Coast Suns (Suzy)

It was a tight game until about midway through the final quarter. The Suns really took it up to the Pies but the latter could see the lure of Finals Footy. The Pies will finish in the eight. last two spots still up for grabs.
