AFL round 21 ‘expert’ tips
It’s HATE COLLINGWOOD round
If it’s good enough for PM Julia Gillard to say it, then it’s good enough for me. I HATE COLLINGWOOD too and I’m glad she got that dig in. Unfortunately though, there’s a fair chance it might go down as famous last words, with both Collingwood and Abbott looking likely to spoil the party and pull off a rather unpalatable win in their respective races for the top position. Gotta laugh at Collingwood’s cheer squad leader Joffa though:
MAGPIES fanatic Joffa says Julia Gillard is “finished” after the Prime Minister declared her hatred for Collingwood.
“For a Prime Minister to jump on the anti-Collingwood bandwagon, I reckon it’s a bit poor,” Joffa said.
“The Greens have got my vote.
“Give us a break, we don’t need that stuff on the national political stage.
“I have gone to the Greens, she’s finished.”
Give you a break, Joffa? No. We hate you too. It can’t happen can it? We can’t have Abbott as PM and Collingwood as premiers all in the one year can we? It’s enough to make you want to move … to New Zealand.
Let’s see what the ‘experts’ say:
Ray (5) (101)
Geelong v Carlton : I’m tempted to tip the upset – Carlton won by 9 goals earlier this year – but …..
St Kilda v Richmond : I can’t see the Saints dropping this, even though it doesn’t really matter.
Hawthorn v Fremantle : Freo have rested half their side and have already conceded defeat here. All they want to do is to finish 5th or 6th and get a home final.
Collingwood v Adelaide : I hope they keep playing like maniacs and burn out by the finals.
Sydney v Bulldogs : The Bullies have blown it and must know there’s nothing left to play for.
Pt Adelaide v Melbourne : The Dees don’t win in Adelaide.
Essendon v Brisbane : I got robbed last week when Brown was a late withdrawal. But he’s back for his 200th and that will be enough to get the Lions home.
West Coast v Nth Melbourne : Harvey’s 300th. Says it all against the useless Eagles.

Look, I got 7 last week!
Also, it’s my birthday tomorrow. Fancy getting Tony Abbott for a present.
Maybe you’ll get 8 tomorrow?
Happy birthday Rox (for tomorrow) – I really hope you don’t get Tony as a present.
But if you do, do you want to move to NZ with me?
Yeh Happy Birthday Rox.
I will be out enjoying the elements all day tomorrow. If Tony does get in, I might seriously go missing in the Vaterland next month. I will gladly pay my departure tax at Tullamarine.
Geez … if Tony Abbott wins, it s going to be difficult to have a tipping competition next year with everyone leaving town
Rox – Happy birthday from me too … enjoy!
,
Yes please.
Thanks everyone. Now I”d better go and vote.
Baldrick – very brave tipping! Here’s hoping!
He’s trying to go out backwards, JB. And it’s working!
After 3 games:
Ray, Greg & Rox: 3/3
Baldrick: 0/3
He’s going as well as Family First.
Whoa, I didn’t even look at the footy last night (something else distracted me). What were Collingwood up to? 3 pts over Adelaide. At the MCG ! And they only kicked 6 goals. Wheels falling off? Well the Bulldogs wheels certainly have.
Results after 5 games:
Ray: 5
Greg & Rox: 4
Baldrick: 0
Btw, Port are leading Melbourne, Greg!
Sorry Rox, your comment (from yesterday) was in “spam” for some reason.
What do you make of the result (the election that is)? Ooops, wrong thread.
Melbourne & Essendon both well behind. Looks like I’ll pick up 3 on Greg this week. Game on for Rd 22.
Wow, look at this. Our first perfect 8 of the year. Rd 21 results:
Greg : 5 (110)
Ray : 8 (109)
Rox : 5 (104)
Baldrick : 1 (97)
I’d like to set up next week’s final tips so that neither Greg or I see each other’s tips before we submit them. Can I give Greg your email address Rox or Baldrick so that he can send his tips to you and you can hold them until mine are up?
Are you fair dinkum? And all this for the fridge magnet?
I’d be glad to do it but there’s a price, for starters, a special invite when the Hungarian women’s water polo visits again.
Thanks Baldrick. It’s not for the fridge magnet, or for me. It’s for Greg.
No worries. Congratulations Ray!
My tips are in.
Waiting for Greg’s – or is Baldy getting them? Oh – it’s only Thursday. Duh.
I also have Greg’s now. I feel like the Bank of England.
Does that mean I get Raymond’s? You going to hand deliver them?
Did I not get the tips as I am seen as a threat?
Sorry Baldrick, but even if you got a perfect 8 this week it would still leave in you in 4th position. And Rox is 6 behind Greg so not much chance of her overtaking Greg there. I’ll put my tips up in the morning.
