Thanks for that prediction Steve. That will keep my heart racing if that margin pans out. Good job we are out Friday evening and will be watching recording when get home. Sorry about Eagles Sussex . Like the Swans have injuries but that was only Hawthorn who are in turmoil. Cannot believe they lost by so many but perhaps it was the cold weather in Tassie that did for them.
Still getting over the Swans miracle from Saturday when dead and buried and after replying with 2 quick goals not looking like a last goal until the fates intervened.

Mine:Blues x 13 (Swans' defence plagued by injuries and Carlton must be feeling the critics' pressure)
Saints (would love to see the Hawks get up but playing safe)
Dees (Hunter and Oliver out for the Dees but Sparrow and Harmes in - what depth!)
Cats (big names out injured but the cats are usually strong on their home turf - GWS without Kelly, Haynes and Himmelberg)
Dogs (anything can happen in Darwin)
Dons (they have to take advantage of the weaker teams because they aren't likely to beat the top 8)
Port (Tigers have the new coach which nearly always means a win but Port look mighty this year)
Pies (hope North give it a red hot go - they came so close last week - but the Pies are something else!)
Lions (Adelaide in Adelaide would nearly always mean a win but Gardiner and Rich come back for the Lions)
Tonight's result:Sydney Swans (Anita) v Carlton Blues (available)

8.8.56 (Q3) 6.12.48
11.11.77 (Q4) 6.15.51
Poor kicking (again) by the Blues, they just couldn't match it with the Swans. Anita's tip of the Swans by 26 points was spot on so she wins another $7.00 for The Mirabel Foundation. Well done!
It was close until the final quarter. Having Melican back for the Swans was a huge plus. I watched late last night when got home from going to see Jason Donovan in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. He was really good. Cannot believe it is the 50th anniversary production.
A show I've never seen even though I see a lot of musicals. I can well believe Jason Donovan would turn in a good performance.
Good god...what a weird round this is turning out to be!

Thank the lord for the Bombers, that's all I can say. Apart from Suzy, the rest of us are sitting on either one or two out of the six games so far this round.
A crazy day indeed but really looking at news (and I should be better to judge) some of these shocks could have been predicted. But really Giants winning in Geelong.

Well done Dean in a very difficult round and look! - it's Sussex overtaking Steve in the cumulative ladder. I think this year may be the closest we've ever had (to date, anyway). Congrats to the winners.

I tuned in and out of the game and it seemed pretty lack-lustre. Melbourne couldn't kick straight and Carlton couldn't capitalise on their chances. But we have three tipsters who all came within 2 points of the final margin - Anita, David and Steve win A$7.00 each for The Mirabel Foundation, The Song Room and Backpack Bed For Homeless respectively. Good work folks!

I saw most of the Dogs/Cats game and found it very entertaining. The lead changed back and forth before the Cats took hold of the game in the final quarter. The Dogs need to have a good hard look at themselves if they want to play finals.
Kudos to the Suns who came from 35 points down to convincingly beat the Crows up in Darwin.

Yes its the Swans onThursday. Just what I need an evening game finishing about 10pm when I get up at 4am for work! At least it is in Sydney so not tempted to go. And loss of Luke Parker for one match huge.
I followed the Giants v Tigers game.....in those last few minutes i was practically screaming at the monitor! Bloody lucky Tigers, that's all i can say. Oh...and i have no finger nails left!
I didn't see the Giants Tigers game but I do know the Giants only won in the last minute which ruined my perfect tipping round this week.Never mind here goes for next week and a couple of strange tips

No worries about tipping against the Bombers Tim. They are just scraping in and are not particularly worthy of 6th place on the ladder. I shall probably be tipping Carlton as well as they have long been a bogey team of ours.

Pickett for the Tigers scored the final winning goal with just 24 seconds remaining! The lead changed several times in the last 10 minutes.....in all 12 goals were scored in that final quarter between both teams. The Giants actually out scored the Tigers in that final quarter, but were 3 goals behind to begin with. Giants got 7, Tigers 5....bloody Tigers!
Agree......bloody Tigers. 24 seconds is heartbreaking
