Pett Family & Friends Tipping 2025

That was a tough week. Leading the way with 5 were Cathy, Jeremy, Judith, Margot and Ray, then a lot of us got 4. A special mention to Jeremy (future manager of this competition) for getting both of the first 2 upsets of the round: GWS over Geelong and Gold Coast over Carlton.

The Crows fought so hard against Port on Saturday night. A heart-breaking loss in the end. As for Tex, what can you say. It’s a tragedy for all involved.

Two weeks of tipping left for this year.

South had a good win against Centrals on Saturday to keep their double chance hopes alive. How good is Jason Horne, the likely number 1 draft pick.  After South’s Round 4 match against Port at Noarlunga this year, Jeremy and I met him in the clubrooms – photo below.

This week Margot and I led the way with 7, with Margot’s famous old navy blues getting the job done against St Kilda on Friday night. Alice, Cathy, Helen, Janet, and Matt all got 6. I’m leading by 7 with three weeks left. I say nothing – still three weeks left.

Let’s hope the Crows can win at least 1 game from their last 3. This week is the showdown. The following week is Melbourne at the MCG. The final week is North Melbourne at Adelaide Oval.

Have a good week everyone.

It was another good week for me (Craig), getting 8. Irene got 7, then Austin, Janet, Jeremy and Ray all got 6. Shout-out to Ray for being the only person to get North Melbourne.

It’s me leading by 6 from Janet (can I hold on with 4 weeks left?), and now Jeremy has moved into third spot, one ahead of Helen, then Robert 2 further back.

That was a good win for the Crows. Rory Laird is a smokey for the Brownlow I reckon.

Jeremy writing this week

This week was a great week of footy with the 2nd draw of the year included. Alice and Austin both had great weeks with 7 tips correct and the top 4 getting very tight with Craig in the lead but with Janet Jeremy and Helen very close. 5 crucial weeks left were first spot could be anyone’s next week will be a great week thanks.

That was a very tough week for tipping. Well done to Irene. She got 5 and led the way this week. People who got were Jeremy, Ray, Austin and me. A shout out to Ausi who has been going well the last few weeks and has moved up a couple of spots on the ladder. At the top of the ladder it’s now me by 3 from Janet, with Robert, Simmo, Helen and Jeremy all tied 3 further back.

The less said about Friday night’s game against Essendon the better. Let’s hope they can put up a better show against West Coast on Sunday.

Well this week Alice got 7 for the second week in a row, and Austin, Helen and Judith (aka Mum) also got 7. Special mention to Austin for being the only one to go for GWS over Melbourne. And a shout out to Irene and Jeremy for getting Gold Coast over Richmond (another loss for Richmond!) A few people got 6: Annie, Cathy (now off the bottom of the ladder – well done Cathy), Janet, Margot (her Blues have now won 2 in a row, so is Teague safe for a while?), Robert, Simmo and me.

As for the ladder, it’s still me by 1 from Janet, then, Robert, Simmo and Helen all tied 4 further back.

Remember there’s another Thursday night game this week.

Leading the way this week were Alice and Steph with 7, followed by Cathy with 6. Margot’s Carlton held on to beat the Crows today. The Crows could have pinched it if not for a few costly skills in errors in the final minutes. But Carlton were the better side for most of the day. The highlight of the week, though, was seeing Richmond lose…. again! How good was that?!

At the top of the ladder it’s still me by 1 from Janet, with Jeremy 3 further back, then Robert & Simmo equal, then Helen.

This week people who got all 5 were: Alice, Annie, Judith, Matt, Robert & Simmo. At the top of the ladder it’s still me by 1 from Janet, Jeremy 2 further back, then stepping 1 at a time back to Robert, Simmo and Helen.

Speaking of the ladder, if you can’t find it, you need to click on the ‘ladder’ tab in the top panel.

The Crows will be back in action next week, against Carlton at Marvel Stadium (or whatever it’s called this year). Jeremy and I are hoping to go. It will depend on the rules about crowd attendances. Poor old Carlton (Margot’s team). If they lost to the Crows next week will Teague survive the chop?

Janet and I led the way this week with 4. No one gets the tip in the North Melbourne-GWS draw. I know that other tipping comps do give the tip to everyone in the case of a draw but this comp has always done it the other way. Then 3’s to: Helen, Margot, Matt, Ray and Steph.

What a win for the Crows! How good is Riley Thilthorpe. Jeremy and I couldn’t believe it when he had that set shot from the boundary with about two minutes left. He just needed to get a point because at that stage it was looking like a draw was the best we could hope for, but he tried a drop punt and missed everything. Then a minute later when it ricocheted to him, and he thought to just boot it high back over his head…. amazing. Another heart-stopper of a game for the Crows. They’ve given us more than our fair share of those already this year, for a couple of losses and a couple of wins.

A fair few of us got 5 out of 6 this week: Helen, Irene, Janet, Jeremy, Judith, Ray, Simmo and me. It’s still me leading by 1 from Jeremy and Janet with Robert and Simmo 2 further back.

Let’s hope the Crows can bounce back against St Kilda next week in Cairns.

Russell Ebert… what a champion. Have a look at the video that I have hyper-linked there.
