Footy Tipping Software

  Last Week           8/9           Season Total      49/72 It was all happening this week.  With relatively easy tipping we can focus on the real stories to come out of the week.  The most alarming news of course is that scientists have drastically re-assessed how long until the universe decays.  They have revised the value in from 10 1100 years down to 10 78 years.  This is cause for urgency as some clubs may wonder if they’ll win any more premierships now that we’ve trimmed the due date down by that far! This week we had Whiteboard-gate, Pendlebury’s golden number and ever-consistent Carlton as the big stories.  I don’t think anyone had a problem with Brisbane’s critical analysis of the opposition, but they blamed the Auskick Dad who leaked the photo, but many would argue that you shouldn’t leave that kind of information arou...

  Last Week           8/9           Season Total      41/63 As far as results go, it was a ho-hum week with almost all tippers getting at least 8 correct.   If only Geelong had’ve been any good.   While we had 5 matches decided by less than 10 points the other week, last week we had 6 matches decided by 8 goals or more. There were Anzac ceremonies galore as I personally watched one before a footy match, went to the school one and went to a community one.   I can imagine that if you settled in to watch all the matches, you’d feel a bit Anzac’d out.   Luckily there would be few of us that put ourselves through that.   I had a busy weekend of wallpaper stripping which did not help my tennis elbow at all.   Not that I play tennis, it’s just a symptom of how bad my golf swing really is!   But I still managed to see the tradit...

  Last Week           7/9           Season Total      33/54 I know I’m pretty cynical about the footy at times.  Mostly because I think the competition is so ridiculously unbalanced that any joy is sucked out of it but often because sports journalism is waaaaay too sensationalised and they make up all these ludicrous stories about nothing.  But then there are the weeks when so much happens I just can’t write enough.  Mind you, when referring to these missives the term ‘journalism’ is not a term I would use… so who cares? As I said, lots of stuff happened last week starting with the number of games that were very close.  Five of the nine games were under 10 points and although they all went the way we all tipped (except perhaps Melbourne – but then, who tipped them anyway?) this may have made for a very exciting round.  Jezza kicke...

  Last Week           6/9           Season Total      26/45 I didn’t see any of the footy on the weekend and I’m at pains about watching any of the replays because I’m just not feeling it.  I did watch The Masters and Rory got the job done in unconvincing fashion showing that his not-quite-best is better than the rest at Augusta.  Can he do a 3-peat?  I’m tired from the late nights and early mornings though. Luckily, I don’t need to watch any of the footy, I just have to refer to my plethora of text messages as people either give me crap about my team or groan about their own teams’ misfortunes.  From various groups of friends, I actually have a pretty good coverage of the league.  Based on that info, I was able to fill out the rest of the season’s ladder predictor and have determined it’s not worth watching. The good news for t...

  Last Week           4/8           Season Total      20/36 (barely better than 50%)! Not that exciting a round last week.   There was one thrilling game in Adelaide and that’s reason enough to ensure all games are in Adelaide this week.   That’s right, it’s Gather Round.   Or rather this year, “spend $8.3B on fuel” Round.   Ok, maybe the Easter Monday game was a bit exciting too.   Just a bit. But this week I want to take aim at Kayo.   Maybe someone can see that someone in power at Kayo/Foxtel gets this.   A couple of weeks ago they did an upgrade to their App and the user experience.   I don’t want to mince words, and I don’t know what other feedback they have been getting but it is hands down the worst piece of crap I have ever experienced.   I would rather suffer paper cuts to my eyeballs than use that App...

Last Week           3/7           Season Total      16/28 Let’s not talk about what’s going on in the world this week.   Needless to say, it’s not great and I don’t think it will improve until we get intelligent and reasonable people in positions of power which only happens once every few generations or so. I did fuel up the car on the weekend though, after taking out a second mortgage and selling my children into slavery. The main topic of note for this week is that Kylie Minogue was announced as the Grand Final entertainment for this year.   Who knows what she’ll sing.   She has a long song list, and I’ll do my best to weave them into my predictions.   The way the world is going at the moment, she should open with Things Can Only Get Better , but my issue with this is that concept violates the second law of thermodynamics which shows th...
