2007 AFL Tipping Comp

[AndyP]

I've set up an AFL Tipping comp at Optus, as I found it better to use, and awarded the standard 1 point per tip, instead of 2. You are also eligible for prizes overall from Optus if you finish near the top overall, which keeps it interesting. Multiple groups are allowed also, if you want to set one up with your mates.

Just go to http://footytips.optuszoo.com.au/jc.cfm?c=67260&P=OZgolf (http://footytips.optuszoo.com.au/jc.cfm?c=67260&P=OZgolf) to register. The password is OZgolf.

[Fishman Dan]

Can't we do it at OzTips?

[Courty]

Can't we do it at OzTips?

LOL :mrgreen:

Ok joined now

[AndyP]

Seems to work fine for me, but search for OZgolf in the competitions at http://footytips.optuszoo.com.au and use the password OZgolf if it doesn't.

[chappy1970]

Work proxy blocked me, I'll join up tonight from home.

[BrisWesty]

I'll have a go at that. thanks AndyP

[Fishman Dan]

I'm in.

Hawkers take it up the ar$e... doo dah, doo dah.

[jimandr]

As titleholder, I suppose I'd better defend my championship.

Westy?
Come on, 69. You had no problem using the Optus page two years ago.
McCoy?

And remember it's not the preseason anymore. So that form counts for nothing. ;)
That said, I think I'll pick ****ton over Richmond. :oops:

[Fishman Dan]

If we can't win this it's going to be a dull season.

And my avatar might be different on Monday.

[AndyP]

The Blues are favourites are the match, yet have lower odds than Bitchmond for the wooden spoon. :confused:

[PeteyD]

seeing as my NRL tipping is woeful and my knowledge of this sport is minimal, I reckon I will do well. Tigers will win though.

I suppose the Gold Coast Kangaroos are your new side, Courty?

[Courty]

I'm completely impartial. I hate all the teams equally.

[AndyP]

It's not like you've ever come close to winning anyway.

[Grunt]

I'm in but not sure if I will remember to put my tips in every week. Sorry AFL does nothing for me and I will more than likely to forget to tip. Someone has to be in it to come last:p

[AndyP]

You get sent an email reminder, if that helps.

[BrisWesty]

Was a little slow to register, but only missed out on the Friday night game.

Game on!

[just]

Started off poorly already. Bloody Saints.

[AndyP]

Round 1 always is a bit of pot luck, and a lot of the time it's not a true indicator of form. 0 from 1 for me too.

[PeteyD]

Well my friday night curse continues. 0/7 correct tips for games played on a friday night.

[Moe Norman]

i backed the D's as well, hate getting the first game wrong

[BrisWesty]

I'm keeping pace with you, and would have backed the Saints if I'd been on time.

[just]

At least Brisbane has done the righty by me.

[Fishman Dan]

Ditto with Moe. I was thinking the Demon's were the tip of the week.

One thing's for sure... everyone's playing for Goal of the Year Runner Up after Russell Robertson's freak effort.

[Moe Norman]

I backed Port, so I reckon I got one back on the field there.

didn't back Carlton or the Bombers though, so I got 5.

[chappy1970]

I backed the Saints, because teh D's are CRAP, oh yea I also barrack for the saints.

I think that I only got 4 this week though

[just]

Go LIONS!!!! After a lousy tipping effort last week the Lions have got me off to a good start!

[AndyP]

My lads saved me from another dismal week of tipping.
I've still given most people a headstart in tipping. :(

[shavey]

Western Bulldogs cost me the 8/8..

Anyway, I'll take 7 after round one's effort of 2!

[just]

Better than last week. Bloody Bulldogs! Carlton received the thumping of a lifetime.
Watching the Pies and the Eagles was difficult.... couldn't decide who I hated more and wanted to lose.

[PeteyD]

Tight in this one

[Grunt]

Wow not putting my tips in worked ;)

[shavey]

I've gone from 7 to 3..

And don't even talk about the league!

[jimandr]

It might be timely to remind all tippers that the big Anzac Day game means tips need to be in before Wednesday afternoon this week.

[Grunt]

Jim might be good to remind you to put tips in the nrl comp too

[Courty]

This game is a piece of piss. ;)

[AndyP]

Nice one, Courty, but why aren't you leading?

My missus has about 4 more tips right than the Ozgolf leader, and she hardly follows the game.

[Courty]

Nice one, Courty, but why aren't you leading?

Because I can't get interested enough to do my tips properly each week. :p

[Grunt]

Courty, you can be less interested and be like me and not put your tips in at all.

[Fishman Dan]

Courty, you can be less interested and be like me and not put your tips in at all.

Same excuse for NRL Grunt, or are you just crap at that? :lol:

[Grunt]

Same excuse for NRL Grunt, or are you just crap at that? :lol:

No excuse in the NRL, just have not picked the upsets in a few rounds, also have tipped the Bunnies in the close games they have lost. Also been caught out by a few of the teams not playing well week in week out, Penrith are prime examples, win one week then play like under 10's the next.
In AFL I will admit I have NFI and cant get any interest in it either, don't think I have ever sat though an entire game in my life, have heard it is better to see live. Maybe one day I will go to a game and find out for myself, just cant see it happening at the moment.

[Fishman Dan]

You should admit you have NFI in the NRL too - I've missed 2 rounds and I'm beating you :p

Either get an interest in AFL, or give up altogether!

[shazza_rs]

You should admit you have NFI in the NRL too - I've missed 2 rounds and I'm beating you :p

Either get an interest in AFL, or give up altogether!

pick one full round..... (might i say a reduced round .... 6/6 not 8/8 ) and you think you are an expert...... :roll:

[Fishman Dan]

You're right, 6 was easy. Nice 3 by the way ;)

[Fishman Dan]

Mr Bloody Consistent - another 6 thanks to the choking Weagles and the almost-upset Demon's.

I can't get close to the adjusted margin each week... my cumulative has blown right out.

[Fishman Dan]

Looks like we have a new leader.... :smt038

[AndyP]

How the hell did you pick 6, when you couldn't see that your own team was going to get smashed?

I found it amusing looking at those that had a margin last week of over 100, because they picked Carlton (or picked Hawthorn by over 200).

[Fishman Dan]

If margins come into play, then I could be in trouble... but you might have to average more than 3 up until the end of the year.

[dc68]

I am out.... Qant arse have blocked me.

[Fishman Dan]

I am out.... Qant arse have blocked me.

Good. You're not allowed to be in 2 tipping comps these days anyway.

[AndyP]

I am out.... Qant arse have blocked me.
And you were going so well too.....

[dc68]

Yeah well it made it a bit easier to bail....... Will probably go better now.... :roll:.. If it was the NRL one I would have found a way.

[Fishman Dan]

QANTAS blocks you from tipping, yet you can chat all day.

You sure you didn't pull a heartiledge last round?

[AndyP]

Your doing pretty well, Fishman<Dan, considering how bad your team is going. That margin could cost you in the end though (about 130 from one game wasn't there?).

[Fishman Dan]

I thought I lost the lead last weekend, I didn't have such a good one. Margin will hurt me but only if it comes into play ;)

[Fishman Dan]

...and the winner is....

ME!

Very convincingly too. Thanks in particular go out to AP, who was too gutless to make any bets several weeks from the end of the comp.

[3oneday]

...and the only one interested in who won is....

ME!

;)

What sort of knob expects people to bet against him when he's ahead?

[Fishman Dan]

I see what you're saying, but all I can hear is "braaaaaaaaaaark!"

[AndyP]

So what did you win?

[Fishman Dan]

Bragging rights...
