Well.....that game was tighter than the proverbial duck whatsit!

[Val]

Yup, couldn't split them, although some costly errors by the Tiges in the last couple of minutes.

Tonight's result:

Richmond Tigers (Philip) v Fremantle Dockers (available)
3.5.23 (Q1) 3.3.21
5.8.38 (Q2) 5.5.35
6.10.46 (Q3) 5.9.39
7.10.52 (Q4) 7.10.52

We all get a point but Steve gets the $7.00 on offer for the closest margin with his tip of Freo by a point. That will go to Backpack Bed For Homeless at the end of the season.

0.3.3 (Q1) 8.1.49
2.5.17 (Q2) 9.4.58
4.8.32 (Q3) 14.5.89
11.9.75 (Q4) 19.7.121

Sydney Swans (Anita) v Adelaide Crows (Dean)
9.3.57 (Q1) 2.3.15
11.7.73 (Q2) 6.5.41
13.14.92 (Q3) 9.10.64
17.16.118 (Q4) 12.13.85

Port Adelaide Power (available) v Geelong Cats (available)
4.3.27 (Q1) 5.1.31
5.5.35 (Q2) 11.3.69
13.7.85 (Q3) 12.6.78
14.10.94 (Q4) 16.10.106

Brisbane Lions (David) v Gold Coast Suns (Suzy)
4.3.27 (Q1) 3.1.19
6.9.45 (Q2) 8.3.51
11.11.77 (Q3) 13.6.84
16.14.110 (Q4) 14.9.93

Western Bulldogs (Blastro) v Melbourne Demons (TheFoe)
4.0.24 (Q1) 6.3.39
9.2.56 (Q2) 11.5.71
12.6.78 (Q3) 14.7.91
17.8.110 (Q4) 15.10.100

Some exciting games today. Port looked as thought they were set for an upset win but the Cats held their nerve in the final quarter. Likewise the Suns were holding Brisbane up at the Gabba but the last quarter did for them. And then the Dogs! Coming from behind and leaving it till the last 5 minutes to put their seal on the win. Nail-biting stuff!

[TheFoe]

Bugger!

The last two minutes you didn't want to see. Amazing last goal from Jamarra Ugle-Hagan.

Today's results:

Carlton Blues (Tim) v Greater Western Sydney Giants (Duke)
3.4.22 (Q1) 2.0.12
5.6.36 (Q2) 5.3.33
9.8.62 (Q3) 7.3.45
13.12.90 (Q4) 8.6.54

Collingwood Magpies (Tech) v Essendon Bombers (Val)
6.2.38 (Q1) 0.1.1
7.4.46 (Q2) 5.3.33
8.5.53 (Q3) 10.7.67
12.8.80 (Q4) 11.10.76

West Coast Eagles (Sussex) v St Kilda Saints (Lez)
3.1.19 (Q1) 2.2.14
7.1.43 (Q2) 9.5.59
9.2.56 (Q3) 10.5.65
10.2.62 (Q4) 14.6.90

A heartbreaking result for Bombers fans like me to see your team fight back from being 6 goals down, take the lead and then lose to a goal after the siren. Need to sharpen up our goal-kicking skills lads.

[Val]

Well done to Tim [Edit: David - sorry!] on getting a full house....i've been chasing for one of those all season! :)

[Tim]

I don't think I did make a full house, not at least last week. Got greedy and tipped the Eagles as thought they were improving a bit whilst Saints going backwards. Wrong again.

This week is tight and getting towards end of season it gets harder. Covid will likely play a part as well if squads get hit.

I didn't see much footy today but it looks like the Suns were lucky enough to hold on to the lead despite a fast-finishing Eagles team. And I know the Lions had a 40+ lead over the Tigers before the latter got themselves organised.

I think i should be on 7 Val: Pies, Swans, Cats, Crows, Suns, Tigers, Bombers.

[Craig White]

🎵 punts lift me up where i belong🎵

[Tim]

Well that was a poor round from me but at least the Tigers comeback win ensured the Swans maintained their 4th spot they took on Saturday after their emphatic local derby win. Lets hope they keep it going now with last 3 games earning them a possible top 2 spot. So much depends on the Pies over the next 2 weeks.
Here goes for this week
Demons by 9. Very tough game
Hawks. I do not know why but keep on tipping them
Bombers
Bulldogs
Cats

Eagles. So close this weekend Sussex.
