Hey Mick good to see we both share excellent taste when choosing the mighty bombers. The first half isn't looking good though, we just got a goal thank goodness.

Is there going to be a footy tipping comp again this year?

I think you can just log back into footytips.com.au and go to comps and log into last years comp. All Mick needs to do is change or remove the date.

hi guys, i will look into that tonight. better get a wriggle on that "other" code starts in just over a weeks time.
amazing how quickly it creeps on you!

What 'other' code?
Is there another sport that's played during winter?

well not that you would call a 'sport' anyway!! but sadly i have to put up with it in my everyday life (damn it).
they have spent the past 20years copying everything the AFL has done anyway, from state of origin to indigenous matches to expansion! might aswell just make the NRL a sub branch of the AFL!!
now they have even copied our finals system! took us 2 years to decide the mcintyre system was screwed, taken the NRL 15years to work it out lol.

good luck and Carn the Dons!!!

Carn the catters!!! Back to back we go...

Pretty good games tonight in the Nab Cup considering the weather they had.

Bring on Round 1 I say, enough of the practice matches

NRL season up here hasnt even started and im sick of it already! bring on round 1 of the real sport.

just to advise, for those who have joined the tipping comp. there will be 2 joker rounds this season, they have already been preselected. Double points for those two rounds!
also, an extra point for those who tip a perfect 8.
good luck!!

damn, forgot, its a perfect 9 now!!

Well I won't have to worry about the extra points for a perfect 8, I suck at tipping. But I do have fun trying.

Mick do you follow a club in the local AFL?

Yep forgot it will be 9 lol

i dont follow a local club religiously CO, i did always like the doggies up here, but a soft spot for the lions. they are back in the TAFL this year too. which is great news.

As much as I like the Bombers to win the flag this year. It won't happen and probably won't happen for a while yet. Don't have a gun/talented midfield core to support watson. The top 4 will probably end up similar to last year.

Essendon v StKilda cancelled in Wangaratta as the bombers plane couldn't land and had to return to Melb. Evidently the game won't be rescheduled.

and so St Kilda should rightly be given the 4 points for Essendon forfeiting the game...
This could end up being a minefield for the AFL if they keep to the split points decision....

It wasn't Essendon's fault for this happen. Hence no points were given.

ahh it was Essendon's fault for not taking a bus like the saints did.... I believe they had no trouble getting to the ground....
