Round 12

In a tough week for tipping, Ray was the stand-out with 4 out of 7 – way to go Ray. Next best with 3 were Annie, Gaynor, Grace, Helen, Janet, Margot and Rob. It gets more and more interesting at the top of the ladder. Robert has now joined his boys Ausi and Hudo in a three-way tie for the lead, with Janet 1 behind, Dee 1 further back and quite a few others still with a chance of winning if things fall their way in the second half of the year. (There’s still a lot of tipping to be done).

The Crows have come to their lowest ebb of the season so far with that limp effort against Hawthorn. The media are saying that the MCG is now a hoodoo ground for the Crows and it sure seems that way. Matthew Nicks is signed to the end of 2026, which was a decision made before the season when everyone was optimistic. It’s a decision that is looking a bit silly now. Meanwhile, that was a great win for Margot’s Blues against Port on Thursday night and how enjoyable was it to see Collingwood get done on Friday night, with Nick Daicos getting treated like royalty by the umpires.

Next week starts with the Crows against Richmond on Thursday night.
