Round 17

It was my week this week. I got 8. It’s funny – for the previous two rounds, because I’ve been having an ordinary tipping year, I changed strategy and just tipped the favourites, but that didn’t do me much good so this week I went back to my normal strategy of going for an upset if I sense it’s going to happen. And it paid off. Hopefully I can have a few more weeks like that. Next best with 6 were Helen, Matt and Ray.

But at the top of the ladder it’s still Ausi by 1 from Rob, then 1 back to Hudo, another 1 back to Janet, and so on with more people still in with a chance.

It’s an interesting season especially now with Sydney losing two in a row. Maybe it could be Freo’s year? They’re starting to look good. Next week they play Hawthorn in Launceston which will be interesting. The Crows were behind all game although nearly got themselves back into it in the last quarter. Next week they play St Kilda at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night. Even though their season is over, that will be a big pressure occasion for Matthew Nicks and his team. Collingwood lost again – love it.
