Guess the margin for our game each week. Sign up now for a Round 1 start!

Rules:
1. State the margin (and winner) for our game each week
2. Closest to the pin wins each week
3. Overall winner will be the poster with the lowest aggregate at the end of the season, including any finals. A draw will be decided on countback.
4. If you forget to post your guess before the opening bounce then your guess from the previous round will be recycled, rather than being disqualified or missing out. For those who miss round 1, the automatic tip for round 1 will be retrospectively set at 0 (as though you tipped a draw).

Example:
Essendon defeated West Coast by 61 points in Round 9. If you had tipped West Coast by 20 points then you would be 81 points off, whereas if you tipped Essendon by 20 then you'd be 41 points off.

New rules for 2023:
1. Weekly winner bonus: If your tip is closest to the margin in a given week, 25 points will be deducted from your aggregate.
2. Exact margin bonus: If you guess the winner and exact margin in a given week, another 25 points will be deducted from your aggregate.
3. Double bonus: Bonuses are doubled in R4 GWS, R7 Geel, R12 NM, R16 PA, R21 WCE, R24 Coll (home games against opponents we play twice). In the unlikely event that we make finals, bonuses will also be doubled for those games.
4. Rollover tips are ineligible for bonuses.

Win:
Shiny badge and bragging rights
