sidelined

Here they are – and the shock defeat of Collingwood by the Magpies is the only one I’ve dropped thus far, with Geelong overcoming Adelaide and Essendon yet to play. (9%) Tigers (18.8 116) Magpies (14.12 96) (91%) (57%) Hawks (17.13 115) Lions (13.13 91) (42%) (95%) Power (17.13 115) Blues (14.9 93) (5%) (11%) [...]

As a cycling tragic I took great interest in this piece written by Jason Akermanis on the subject of doping in the AFL, and not just any doping, but the kind that professional cyclists love, blood boosting via EPO or transfusion. As a top-level professional athlete, you see certain things that leave you bemused. Some [...]

So, I’ve got a measly 79 and the punters are on 88 – it’s not looking good for me, with just four rounds to go. But then, you can make up ground in the finals. Anyway, here’s the week; (28% / $3.30) Bulldogs Saints ($1.32 / 71%) (11% / $5.50) Blues Magpies ($1.12 / 89%) [...]

OK, I’ve been a slack tipper, but I’ve still been following the game and, this week, trying to come to terms with a life without Sheedy as coach. He was appointed in the year that I began barracking for Essendon, so I’ve never known the team without him. There’s so much being written and said [...]

I would like to point out that I am on holidays in Tasmania, which made it very hard for me to post. That geospatial fact was the reason I didn’t post last week. Honestly, it had nothing to do with the fact that I tipped abysmally, nor with the fact that Essendon went down in [...]

OK, here are the percentage tips; (77%) Bombers (19.11 125) Demons (18.15 123) (23%) (87%) Cats Swans (12%) (89%) Dockers Blues (11%) (43%) Lions Power (56%) (80%) Saints Tigers (20%) (60%) Crows Eagles (39%) (49%) Kangaroos Bulldogs (51%) (37%) Magpies Hawks (63%) I took Essendon (yay!), and I like the Cats, Dockers, Power, Saints, Crows, [...]

I’ve had no internet and am only blogging now because I’ve got dialup so was unable to act on my hunch that the Swans would go down to the Collywobbles. Which is a bugger, because I was right. However I did pick the Tigers. Here are the tips, with only the Weagles to play the [...]

It’s completely pissing with rain and Five is moving house. The only plus there is that the soccer was cancelled this morning, but you can imagine that I’m bummed out. Not as bummed out as Central Coast and Newcastle people, but a bit bummed out. And my tips are late. However, I correctly tipped the [...]

Here are the tips – note to readers that both the punters and I are on 50 points each. (Tip ratio / Price) Home Draw Away (Price / Tip ratio) (23% / $2.35) Bombers Eagles ($1.55 / 77%) (65% / $1.77) Hawks Swans ($1.97 / 34%) (45% / $1.87) Blues Power ($1.87 / 55%) (60% [...]
