Round 22

In a tough round for tipping, well done to Matt who got 6. Next best with 5 were Dee, Sal and Steph, then Grace, Ray and Huddo all got 4 (with Huddo making a very last-minute change of tip from the Bulldogs to the Crows). Our leader Ausi and equal-second Rob and Helen all tipped exactly the same so there was no change in the top three spots but Dee’s 5 puts her in fourth only two off the lead with two rounds left. Who’s name will go on the Honour Board for 2024? Will it involve a tip-off in the finals?

That was a great win for the Crows tonight. Good to see Rankine back and maybe Dan Curtin could play as a regular half-forward after kicking a couple of goals in the last quarter? Carlton have fallen into a hole and what a win for Gold Coast after the siren, with big Mac Andrew cool under pressure. It’s such a wide open premiership race this year with GWS suddenly looking really good as well. Here’s hoping a non-Victorian team wins the premiership for a change – it’s been a while.
