Just choosing my tips for this week and am noticing there are a few tough matches this week to tip.

Hawks vs St Kilda @ Aurora - I tipped Saints
Bombers vs Lions @ MCG - I tipped Lions
Crows vs Pies @ AAMI Stadium - I tipped Crows
Tigers vs Swans @ MCG - I tipped Swans
Dees vs Roos @ Etihad - I tipped Roos
Freo vs Power @ Subiaco - I tipped Power

Looking into the magic ball, who will win these games?

I would go tiges over swans (is it at the G?) Jade the blade has them up and running, there is also a post somewhere on this site about Jolly and ROK being in doubt.
But must admit haven't concentrated properly on tipping this year, been obsessed with SC

I certainly don't take tipping seriously, but couldn't help but notice it's a tough week - even more so for the serious 'tipper'. Yes, that game is at the MCG, not so sure about the Tigers; I'd thought they would smash the Dees, but look what happened - but like I said it's a tough week, so who knows?

Hawks vs St Kilda @ Aurora â€" Saints (obvious)
Bombers vs Lions @ MCG â€" Brisbane (bombers are starting to drop off and Bris shouldnt lose two in a row)
Crows vs Pies @ AAMI Stadium â€" Crows (only coz its at AAMI, and im bias lol) ;D
Tigers vs Swans @ MCG â€" Swans (This ones a tough one)
Dees vs Roos @ Etihad â€" North (anyone could win this, North haven't won a game in two months)
Freo vs Power @ Subiaco â€" Port (Port should win as there playing for a finals spot)

St. Kildas first debut this year. It's almost a miracle the kid got a game. i went hawks based purely on the fact Saints best players are 'injured'

Well at the moment I am 0 from 3! I changed my tip from Saints to the Hawks...bad mistake. LOL and I didn't even think the Dogs vs WCE and Cats vs Blues games were hard to tip...

WooHoo on the board sorry Prop picked the Pies

Prospector_1

yup, I got the point for the draw, so I'm one from 5 at present, dangit.

Should be no points for a draw unless you pick it IMO

Alex7089

yeah but if you pick the draw you should get perfect eight or double points... last year I picked a draw for Doggies and Richmond

nas

Alex that's correct but you have to pick it or nominate etc as if everyone had 7 then the draw = 8. My comp draw = 0 unless above.

Prospector_1

Yep, I like that rule, have played it and succesfully tipped the draw once (actually, I think it gave an extra point rather than double). The folks I now tip with like to do it with the draw paying a tip whoever wins, so I don't argue.

If you're smart enough to tip it, you deserve some decent bonus. Also, if you're a long way back, it gives you a chance to claw your way into the competition again.
