Who is winning? - is it still Sj? ;o>

[theDuke]

I'll post mine later tonight. I'm determined to get that first game right for once (as well as the others of course)...so much thinking going on at Chez Duke's! :)

But i think I'll pro-offer my congratulations to Steve now..as i think he's pretty much uncatchable...unless he forgets to get his tips in in time...fat chance of that happening! ;-D

[Val]

Tonight's result:

Essendon Bombers (Val) v Greater Western Sydney Giants (Duke)
0.2.2 (Q1) 0.2.2
6.3.39 (Q2) 2.5.17
7.5.47 (Q3) 4.7.31
8.7.55 (Q4) 8.11.59

A very exciting game - for a change! Thought my Bombers had it, they played very well. But the Giants seemed to come alive in the rain, even without Toby Greene and Matt De Boer. Bugger!

[Val]

[theDuke]

Congrats to Philip & Steve on getting the full house...right then...here's hoping i do better this time..and i am determined to get the first game right for a change! Only 2 teams have successfully beaten Port to date, the Lions and the Saints. I reckon there is only one other side that have the potential to topple them also, and that's the red hot reigning champions...the Tigers. Should be a really tight game, Tigers had beaten Port twice last year...but that said Port are pretty strong this year, and it's home game for them......but i'm tipping the visitors to get over the line by a wee half a kick:

Tigers - 3
Lions
Eagles
Demons
Saints
Hawks
Magpies
Suns

[Val]

Don't worry Suzy. This season is already so crazy I very nearly missed my own deadline! I've been busy organising a sweet potato, red lentil and coconut curry in the slow cooker and then I looked at the clock - 2.15pm here and suddenly had an awful thought, what if it was an afternoon game as is usual on a Saturday. Rushed to the 'puter and found I had two hours to go, so here are mine:

Port x 11 (chosen only because it's in Adelaide)
Lions
Eagles
Roos (only because it's in Tassie)
Cats
Freo
Pies
Suns

[theDuke]

Good game of footy going on at the Adelaide Oval....scrappy and high pressured!

[theDuke]

Dammit! I got it wrong again! 6 times in a row now.
What the heck happened to the reigning champions in that last quarter?

Pah!

[Val]

Today's/tonight's results:

Port Adelaide Power (Grizzly) v Richmond Tigers (Philip)
4.4.28 (Q1) 3.3.21
8.6.54 (Q2) 7.3.45
10.11.71 (Q3) 11.6.72
13.15.93 (Q4) 11.6.72

Brisbane Lions (David) v Western Bulldogs (Blastro)
3.4.22 (Q1) 3.1.19
9.8.62 (Q2) 5.2.32
13.10.88 (Q3) 8.2.50
14.12.96 (Q4) 11.6.72

Blastro wins the $6 this week for tipping the closest margin. His tip of Port by 21 was dead on the money so Zaidee's Rainbow Foundation is that bit richer tonight.

[suzysunshine7]

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

[Val]

Well tonight's game was one of the most exciting I've seen this season. I was barracking for the Suns (having tipped them) which seemed very strange as I do love my Bombers. The Suns led all night until the Bombers drew level with 5 minutes to go. Then it was a goal to the Bombers, then a goal to the Suns, then a point to the Bombers, followed by a point to the Suns. So a draw means a win for all tipsters.

Tonight's result:

Gold Coast Suns (Suzy) v Essendon Bombers (Val)
3.1.19 (Q1) 1.3.9
7.4.46 (Q2) 4.3.27
9.5.59 (Q3) 7.5.47
11.7.73 (Q4) 11.7.73

[suzysunshine7]

Ohhh YES!!! ... well done the SUNS!!! ;o>
