What do you think mate?

I'm not! I think Sydney, playing at home and coming off a huge confidance booster up in Brisbane, will be too good for the Crows. I think the Crows win over Port was just a one-off derby-type performance and I still think they are in for an ordinary year. (Yes, I'm obviously not one of those supporters who can't pick against my own team, I'm too much of a realist!)

And how much more bad luck can Ramanauskus have? Umbelievable.

Bad luck for Rama, Bomber...
Hey are we going to start a mini tipping comp in this thread, or are
all you other blokes in another one ??

[Panamark]

My tips for this week

Kangaroos to beat Collingwood
Brisbane to beat Hawthorn
West Coast to beat Bulldogs
Essendon to beat geelong (If Lloyd and Hird are in)
Carlton to beat Port (Warning, I always choose Carlton, I think Port
are the favourites in this clash)

Adelaide to beat Swans
Richmond to beat Freo
Melbourne to be St Kilda

This must be the exotic language of Australia. WTF are you saying here? "mini tipping comp"?

Football tipping competitions have become a part of Aussie culture. Everyone who follows the footy, and even some that don't, make up or enter into a tipping comp where you tip the winners for the weekend's round of games, and at the end of the season the one that got the most results right wins. A lot of work places run them or you do it with friends.

Don't you do this in the States with basketball or Gridiron?

This season's tips are looking tough to pick. Soooooo many upsets already.

Am I watching Hawthorn beating the Brisbane Lions ??? :eek:

[Panamark]

Fuck, the Hawks thumped the Lions !!! Bloody Hell ?? Anyone pick this ?? Im betting no..

[Halen High]

Hey Panamark, I thought the Hawks were a CHANCE with Voss (and all the others) out, but I can't believe they won so easily. Local radio was discussing the betting for this game this morning and Graham Cornes thought the Hawks were a good bet for an upset.

Go Blues.

[Panamark]

Well there ya go !! Could be some happy punters out there tonight in that case ! Looks like we miss the broadcast of the Carlton v Port game in Sydney tonight. Go the Blues ! (Im not getting my hopes up though)

[Panamark]

Holy Crap ! The mighty Blues nearly knocked em over. Im totally stoked, even with the draw. As you can tell from my previous posts
I wasnt that confident about beating them in Adelaide. This is actually
a pretty cool result for us ! CARN THE BLUES

[Halen High]

You didn't get the broadcast? That's a fucking shame. What a match. I watched it with my wife and cousin, all Crows fans, and we were screaming for the Blues all night.

Yeah that's a great result for Carlton and a crap result for Port. They are pretty depressed over here. After the match, Mark Williams was talking about just making the 8 rather than 1 or 2! BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The way the game started I thought Port were gonna win easy.

Fevola was BRILLIANT.

[Panamark]

Hey if Im Adelaide Im gonna watch the footy with your family ! LOL,

Yeah I couldnt believe it, I dont have foxtel but I have rigged up
Austar regional satellite (for free) and I usually get every game
except 1. Of course this week the missing game was the Blues
Port game...

I was watching it on AFL site which gives you the updated scores,
live audio and this cool little flash generated graph which shows each
passage of play leading up to the previous score.. So although its not
video, its better than nothing.

Depending on todays games, the Blues could end up in the 8 !
