Round 18

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.

Round 17

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.

Round 16

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.

Round 15

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.

Round 14

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?

Round 13

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.

Round 12

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.

Round 11

Leading the way with 7 this week were: Annie, Janet, Judith, Robert, Simmo and me. With Jeremy only getting 5, I have bumped him aside at the top of the ladder… for now anyway.

Gee the Crows looked great in the first quarter. Not much to speak of after that other than a few goals in a row at the start of the last. Let’s hope they can knock of Collingwood next week.

Round 10

What a win for the Crows!! How good was that?! 16 points down with 8 minutes left. It never looked like we could get back. Then right to the last minute it was looking like another heart-breaker of a loss. But what a win. Jeremy was hysterical during the last quarter then when we won he was in tears of joy for nearly an hour – seriously. Next week’s game against Richmond at the MCG is now more interesting. We’ll be there in the cheer squad.

I got all 9 this week. For anyone who might have noticed, when I put the tips up here on the blog on Friday night, I had my tip as Collingwood for the Collingwood-Port game, but that was a mistake. I spotted it Saturday night and fixed it and updated it here on the blog that night (before that game). So anyway, I got all 9. Three people got 8 – Alice, Matt and Steph.

Jeremy is now leading by 1 from me, then it steps down 1 at a time through the next 6 tipsters.

Go Crows! Hopefully they can still make the finals.

Round 9

(Jeremy is writing this week)

Another weekly win for Jeremy and has won weekly winner with 8 and now has also won weekly winner for 3 weeks straight and now leads top by 2 in front of Robert and Janet. With Robert Janet Simmo Craig Helen Judith Margot and Irene getting 7. Bottom of the ladder has swapped with Steph bottom and Cathy just above.
