I feel sorry for whoever has to play port next week. The yoyo team will thunk them.

 

[Viceregal]

May the best team win, no injuries, and may the umpiring be so well done that neither side perceives they are hard done by (dare to dream / yes delusional is me)

One out of three ain't bad I suppose ... (two out of four if you accept my prediction of being delusional!)

Pretty sure no none tipped us.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Pretty sure no none tipped us.

I put 25 on North to win, and was deadset going to put the winnings on Brisbane to win. Thought it was nearly a 50/50 so payout was good. Oh well, thanks AMT, you cost me $150 ($125 really but yeah) haha.

 

[DaRick]

Pretty sure no none tipped us.

Nope.

The tipsters backed Port Adelaide 11-0.

Even the tipping when we played GWS wasn't that skewed.

I mean, I would have thought that 7-4/6-5 was closer to the mark.

Shows what underestimating Brisbane gets you.

Just saw the footage of the Port players roughing up 176cm Lachie Neale.

This after Hinkley tagged Caleb Daniel. Roughing up the smallest blokes in the competition definitely sends a message

Dumb game by Port.
Really really dumb.

 

[citizen-erased]

Pretty sure no none tipped us.

not only did i tip the Lions, i may have underrated them in predicting a top 6 finish

All the hallmarks were there last year. Turn a few close ones around and they become a finals bound team.
Then you go and add Neale.

Excellent team on paper and on the field.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

I have been very deliberately not picking the Lions all year. So far it's working well. Tips are crap of course, but that's not the main thing, is it?
