Early tips for the week are

PORT ADELAIDE to beat Collingwood (50-50, but the Pies do love Footy Park)
KANGAROOS to beat Bulldogs (reasonably confident)
FREMANTLE to beat Carlton (confident)
RICHMOND to beat Sydney (50-50, but the Subiaco hoodoo worries me )
BRISBANE to beat Melbourne (confident)
ADELAIDE to beat Geelong (reasonably confident )
WEST COAST to beat Essendon (50-50, but the Eagles are a far better side)
ST KILDA to beat Hawthorn (I've had a gutsful of picking Hawthorn)

Plenty of tight games to ensure that we tipster's have nightmares.

i agree with these picks, except for my upset special of the week:
HAWTHORN over St Kilda (when will i ever learn not to pick hawthorn )

And final tips are the same. I'd settle for 6 this week.

Same as you macca23. Although if Hawthorn were ever going to get up it would be this week (and hopefully not next week).

And that's what I got!!

Shouldn't have picked Richmond because of the Subiaco factor, and in spite of travelling I thought Essendon's injuries would ensure victory to West Coast.

I got 6 this week as well. Sydney and West Coast let me down. But when you look at it, Richmond coming from WA were always suspect and West Coast were due for a loss.

Bring on pathetic Hawks.

 

[kirky]

Got 7, missed on Sydney. Thank God after a horrendous 5 weeks of tipping. Should have known the Subiaco factor would come into play, first instinct was Sydney but changed to Tigers. Decided before the round not to pick the Hawks again this year. Early and gut instinct tips this week:-

Richmond(rate Tigers higher and more talent, I think)
Adelaide (of course)
Brisbane (good traveller and its at Telstra, no weather impact, higher skilled side should prevail)
Sydney (not sure why, but Dons still an unknown and Sydney will get back some key players)
Port (now this game will be a beauty, two sides with a large no of Aboriginal players and will be very open)
West Coast (poor Bullies are in for a belting)
Geelong (Subiaco factor for Carlton, need we say anymore)
Collingwood (Melbourne are woeful and how will they stop Tarrant?)

Well, here's hoping.

Ditto above - except I got 5 as I thought the Bullies would break through!

 

[sapaul]

5-Hawthorn, Bulldogs and Geelong all had chances...

 

[DaveW]

6/8 in round ten for me.

Round Eleven is VERY straight forward:

RICHMOND to beat North Melbourne
ADELAIDE to beat Hawthorn
BRISBANE to beat St Kilda
SYDNEY to beat Essendon
PORT ADELAIDE to beat Fremantle
WEST COAST to beat Footscray
GEELONG to beat Carlton
COLLINGWOOD to beat Melbourne

My early tips for this week

RICHMOND to beat North Melbourne (50-50 but Richmond are better on paper)
ADELAIDE to beat Hawthorn (We should win)
BRISBANE to beat St Kilda (Confident)
SYDNEY to beat Essendon (I favour the Swans)
PORT ADELAIDE to beat Fremantle (confident)
WEST COAST to beat Western Bulldogs (confident)
GEELONG to beat Carlton (50-50)
COLLINGWOOD to beat Melbourne (I favour pies slightly)

BRISBANE to beat St Kilda (Confident)
SYDNEY to beat Essendon (reasonably confident)

Agree with this one. Hopefully it pans out this way! Although wouldn't mind seeing an upset at Footy Park!!

 

[macca23]

Are any of the early tipsters who picked Richmond to beat the Kangaroos getting a bit edgy now that McCartney is playing and turning it into another emotional cause for the Roos??

I know I am!!

A bit.

 

[macca23]

Just taking this one step futher, wasn't it the Kangaroos- Richmond game last year that was emotionally based with Micky Martyn dedicating it to his dying dad.

I think that was the case, with the Roos winning it for Mick.

What's everyones' tally for the season so far here?

I'm on 54 after 10 rounds which has me equal 12th in the comp I'm in.

How are we travelling?

I'm on 58 and equal 1st in the comp at our work. Just for curiosity, what's your leader on dyertribe?

He's on 59... you'd be equal second

Not bad considering there's 126 tipsters with eyes on the prize.

 

[napsyd]

53 counting the draw as a loss.

Could and should be doing better...

 

[napsyd]

Having a long long weekend, so here are my tips for the record.

RICHMOND to beat Kangaroos - Kangas performances in "emotion" games has been less than memorable this year.
ADELAIDE to beat Hawthorn
BRISBANE to beat St Kilda
SYDNEY to beat Essendon - Should be a corker!
PORT ADELAIDE to beat Fremantle - But I hope not!
WEST COAST to beat Bulldogs
GEELONG to beat Carlton - Tough call.
COLLINGWOOD to beat Melbourne and stop Woewoful whinging like a stuck pig.

Have a good one all!!
