  Last Week           5/9           Season Total      135/198 The season has run its course and it’s now time for the cream to rise to the top.   But who will that cream be?   A number of upsets last week as some teams didn’t try and others had to try hard.   The AFL should ask themselves, is it better to let clubs do what they want or better that they demand clubs play players and watch the clubs not try, because they don’t want to get injured and bench their star players for large portions of the match and lose by 10+ goals?   It wasn’t a good look in my opinion. The round culminated in an emotional match between Sydney and North Melbourne and as with all things footy, a win cures everything.   The news cycle all but stopped, the pressure is released and suddenly it’s like nothing bad ever happened.   That’s also not a good...

Last Week           6/9           Season Total      130/189 There is a lot that could be said this week what with the goings on at Sydney.   I won’t dive into any of that as I’m pretty sure you can find out more than I know from the many other sources available.   Needless to say, what were they thinking?   I’d say they weren’t thinking and I’ll leave it at that. Last week we had two draws which I’m 100% sure no-one had put that scenario into the ladder predictors!?   Not only that, but Collingwood and Hawthorn drew for the second time in the season with Dylan Moore again holding the fate of the match in his hands after the siren.   People will tell you the chances of that happening are some large number to one, but if you work out the numbers officially, you’d be surprised that it works out to be reasonable commonplace.   The fac...

Last Week           7/9           Season Total      124/180 Here we are at the penultimate round of the season.   If you’re behind in the tipping, you need to take some risks and take them now.   The end of the season fizzles out a bit for the AFL with the top 10 effectively set.   There are a few remote chances of things going awry for some clubs but in most cases the destinies are not fully in their own hands.   Geelong is dominating the headlines for what really amounts to an error in administration.   Journalists are running with it as it’s something they can write about and are trying to make it sound like Geelong are the epitome of everything evil.   Reading some of the articles it sounds like they have been stockpiling Weapons of Mass Destruction, installed tanks containing sharks with “frikkin” laser beams and are putting ...

Last Week           5/9           Season Total      117/171 We have officially entered the pointy end of the season.   You know we have because AFL bosses and everyone else came out and started talking about the prospect of tanking in the final round of the home and away season in favour of a better chance in the finals. For the top 6 teams it shouldn’t be an issue as they will get a week off anyway, such is the way the AFL decided to prioritise the final round of the season over the first week of the finals.   For the Wildcard teams though, it is an interesting debate.   Given the fixtures, it looks increasing like they will be in a position where the last round won’t affect their ladder standing and the temptation to ‘large volume water storage device’ would be high.   The AFL have come out swinging talking about how hard they would come ...

  Last Week           6/9           Season Total      112/162 There’s been so much sport on of late that the Commonwealth Games completely went under the radar for me.  However, the term “game” indicates a fair and friendly contest between parties.  When Australia has won practically every medal on offer it doesn’t seem fair at all.  The Men’s Open has come and gone in the golf and this weekend is the Women’s Open.  Hopefully Minjee Lee does a bit better than last weeks Scottish Open where she was so bad on day one she pulled out from embarrassment (actually I think she was sick).  Tadej Poga č ar won Le Tour again, making him one of greatest of all time.  I don’t want to make accusations, but Le Tour is one of those sports where you have to wait several years to ratify any greatness as testing catches up to doping. Anyway, t...

  Last Week           9/9          Season Total      106/153 It was certainly nice to get away for a few days.  Into some tropical heat.  But it’s back to the daily grind now.  Of course, the time I was away I scored a 9 out of 9 by putting my tips in a few weeks in advance.  Maybe there’s something in that.  A lot happened while I was away.  Spain won the World Cup and Argentina went the biff.  Ryan Fox won The Open at Royal Birkdale and was widely reported as the second New Zealander to win a major.  However there have been 4 so they got that wrong.  But then New Zealand often gets left off maps in movies so it shouldn’t come as a surprise.  The big news of course is that Ken Hinkley was appointed the inaugural Tasmanian Devils Coach.  Personally, I’m not sure on that choice but they must know what they’re...
