So I figure its make or break this week in Footy Tips. I am one win behind the leader...a Swans fan.

Here's my thinking-

Blues to win with Pies outs.

Cats to win over Hawks.

Roos to win over Tigers

Dons to win Port.

Eagles to win over Crowes...even though it is at AAMI.

You could argue either way for each of the teams I haven't picked....a very :confused: weekend of games.

"I was actually watching the football show last night for the first time for many years and I heard that as well, so I got on the text to our media manager and said 'is there any I need to know?' because I was sure I would get asked about it and he said 'no'," Thomas said on Nova FM this morning.

Lisicki into her first Grand Slam final. Great effort.

Awesome effort. Great match. Got caught watching it.

Aggie won something like 9 out of 10 games from the middle of the second. Was up 3-0 in the decider and Sabine looked a long shot. Probably served for the match 3 times, before sealing it. Could've went either way.

Hope Lisicki can take the final. Love the way she plays.

Shame the other semi was a non event. Really can't stand Bartoli.

I also hope that Murray has an agonizing five set loss after being two sets to love up.

I think she will, providing she keeps her unforced error count down. She would've hit 60+ winners last night, but she still had her scratchy periods. It'll be a good effort considering she is allergic to grass.

LOL, I wouldn't shed a tear if Andy went down tonight. Do you give the friendly Argentine a chance tonight Andy?

Absolutely.

The way he dispatched with Ferrer after injuring his knee was sensational. The last two forehands he hit were unbelievable. His game is ideally suited to grass. Hits extremely flat off both sides.

Having said that, Djokovic is a class above everyone, so if he wins it will be in five.

He seems to have discovered his grass court game, that's for certain. Has improved markedly over the last 12 months. He was a bit of a mug, even though his offensive game is suited.

If Nole is at all questionable, it's on Grass. I'd like to see him put pressure on Nole's serve, particularly on big points, and toil away. If Del Potro's healthy, (with the knee and all) he's a good title shot. I'm just not sure I see his baseline game troubling Nole's defence. I think he'll guts his way to another victory.

As long as either, do the right thing and don't allow a victorious Murray to emerge from the Championships.

Aside from his villainous ways, Fognini makes me laugh. Temperamental, and looks like he couldn't care less at times.

His own father can't stand to watch him, because he frustrates him with being up then down.

For a seeded player, he exits Wimbledon in the first round, and this is highlights package. One of many outbursts.

Haha fognini.. the ump is in fits of laughter.
Lisicki will get up against Bartoli who has had the easiest run to a final in ever.
Delpotro will get close to beating djoko but i am worried about his fitness after all the falls he has had this tourney.
Murray should beat jancowicz although i can't say i know enough about him havn't seen him play a lot.
Novak vs Murray final where hopefully the golden boy is beaten in a tight 5 setter. Murray to cry again

I'm on the pies tonight. Carlton favourites, so to boost Tipping I picked the pies...

Really, I just love seeing Carlton and Richmond supporters get excited about their team and then miss the 8.
