I'm not sure whether to contact Isabella or not? - as I've not seen her around this week and so it could be that she might be taking some time out of being on the Forum?Can you put in another Punt for her, Val, if she doesn't turn up in the meantime?
And it sadly also looks like Lez might be offline due to illness again ... x

I hope Lez is okay. I have emailed her but no reply so not sure if she's having technical difficulties or is unwell. Either way, I hope she's back soon. So, using the same systems as last week, Lez gets Sam McClure's tips with the exception of the margin being changed to Lez's preferred 43.

Another great game. There have been tweaks to the rules this year and it certainly seems to have resulted in a faster, more open and more attacking game. This could have gone either way. There was only 7 points in it with a few minutes to go. Anyway, I am walking away with the cash tonight as I tipped the Pies by exactly 21 points. So $7.00 is headed for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre. Go me!

That is one of the weirdest games I've ever seen - and not in a good way! Geelong (with 5 of their best players out through injury and suspension) had most of the play throughout the game. And their kicking was more accurate. The Lions were the walking wounded. Their ruckman took the field with one calf heavily strapped and padded, then proceeded to injure his ankle on the other leg (very early on). He had some treatment but went back on limping heavily, hardly able to walk, never mind run or jump. Yet the Lions didn't activate their medical emergency player until late in the final quarter. Dane Zorko seemed to be favouring one knee but he was also giving out quite a bit in this spiteful encounter. There was a lot of heat in the game - and I've no idea where or how it started. At one stage, Gary Rohan landed a heavy blow to Lachie Neale (possibly in retaliation for a whack to Rohan's jaw). Neale took a while to get back up and had a go at Rohan, holding up three fingers - suggesting a three week suspension? However, that gesture is in itself provocative and if Rohan gets off, Neale could be penalised for staging. Later, Rohan was poleaxed by one of his own players. I swear he was out cold and was off the field for a long time. But he came back - and supposedly players who have suffered concussion should not be allowed back on. At half-time, Geelong's coach, Chris Scott, appeared to be having a go at Joe Daniher and Harris Andrews of the Lions. Will he get into trouble for that? Nothing about this game was pretty but kudos to Joel Sellwood, Zach Tuohy and Tom Hawkins for Geelong and Eric Hipwood for Brisbane. I hope I don't see another game like that for a while.

Only saw the final quarter of the Doggies/Eagles game and what a cracker it was! The ball kept going from one end to the other with the lead changing accordingly. It could have gone either way so hats off to the Dogs for keeping cool heads and getting the job done.

Have a lovely Easter everyone! :-)
On the off-chance it makes a difference to anyone's tips, the Thursday night game between the Brisbane Lions and Collingwood Magpies will now be played in Melbourne. A Covid scare in Brisbane has led to that city being declared a red zone. The Lions stayed on in Melbourne after their game against Geelong last Friday so it has been a straight swap of venues for their Round 22 game which will now be played in Brisbane.

Apologies for not posting last night's score. I was a bit crook and went to bed early and it seems I missed a great ending with a goal after the siren to secure the win for the Lions by one point (makes up for their loss by one point to Geelong last week).Thursday's result:
Collingwood Magpies (Tech) v Brisbane Lions (David)
4.2.26 (Q1) 2.1.13
7.3.45 (Q2) 6.1.37

I think we can guess who's taking home the prize for highest score this week!
Sorry, obviously the brain fog hasn't cleared yet. I forgot to say that the winner of the closest margin comp was Duke. He was only 4 points out so he earns $7.00 for the Centre For Eye Research Australia. Well done Duke!
I hope you're feeling better today Val?
Thanks Anita. I think it was one of the 24 hour viruses. You feel rubbish and then it's gone. Bad timing as I had tickets for two events at the Comedy Festival last night.
Well it looks like being one of THOSE rounds!Today's/Tonight's results:

I was at a family gathering today and the TV was on in the background. The host (a passionate Richmond fan) was hoping to hose down the gloating of the three Bulldogs fans there (who had been at the game on Good Friday). Later in the afternoon, my son and I were cheering on Essendon against his wife and another relative who are Saints fans. I was hoping we might even surpass the Doggies' score - but no such luck! We were all home again by the evening but I know my son's in-laws would have been more than disappointed by Port's performance. It really is a weird old game. Most of us are sitting on 3 wins from 6 games, but Duke and Suzy are laughing on 4!!
I listened in on all three..unbelievable. The Bombers were on fire today...but as for the Tigers and Port....well..they showed up! With regards to the Tigers, the commentators on RocksFooty radio station kept commenting on the unfortunate plight of one player, Noah Balta i think his name is, who's eyesight is so bad...he is technically officially blind...and yet they put him on the pitch! He couldn't read the boards, his glasses were tied on with elastic, but apparently kept coming off, he couldn't even see which players were near him...hopeless! Gotta give credit for trying though!!!
