Round 23

Well, that’s it for season 2021. At long last, I’ve had a win in this competition. It’s the first time since 1990 that I’ve won, and that includes a lot of years when there was only about 6 of us it in it. And I got over the line by a pretty fair margin – 12.  I couldn’t believe how they kept falling my way this year. Not only 50-50 games but even upsets that I went for – most of them just kept falling my way. Half way through the year I went for Adelaide to beat Melbourne at Adelaide Oval – the game we won by a point after Tex put us in front. I guess that was a sign.

I got 136. Equal second on 124 were Janet and Helen. Equal third on 122 were Robert, Jeremy and Austin. Fourth on 121 was Judith (aka Mum). Fifth on 118 was Alice, in her first year in this comp. Sixth on 115 was Margot, also in her first year in the comp.

A special mention to Matt this week who tipped a draw in order to gain some ground (if you tip a draw correctly you get 4). He just picked the wrong game. He went for a draw in Geelong- Melbourne. The draw was Richmond-Hawthorn. Mind you, Geelong-Melbourne was nearly a draw too.

It was good for the Crows to finish with a win. Hopefully with all their young players they can move further up the ladder in 2022.

That’s it for now. Thanks for being in it everyone. It will be back against next year for those who want to be in it.

Cheers,

Craig
