All right lets have a Finals tipping comp just so I can prove my superiority in the tipping stakes.;-)

We'll have winners as well as margins so we can have a differential. As a bonus I will also incorporate the Brownlow and Norm Smith into the tips.

Sydney by 9 points
Melbourne by 1 point
St Kilda by 1 point
Kangaroos by 3 points

Geelong - 25 pts

Power - 10 goals +

Good one, chrisso. The Norm and Chas will look nice hanging on my mantlepiece.

Eagles - 28 points - hungry, very hungry.
Cats - 4 points - Demons either injured or minds at Thredbo
Saints - 10 points - Crows exhausted.
PAP - 6 points - is this the first time I've tipped them in 2005?

― Westener (Westener), Wednesday, 31 August 2005 01:54 (twenty years ago)

West Coast by a goal
Geelong by 5 goals
St Kilda by 2 goals
Kangaroos by 3 points after coming back from 8 goals down at half time. Turning point to be Archer smashing a lairising Burgoyne who tried playing on in the goal square only to cop an Archer special... Rocca to kick 6, all of them outside 50.

Your a nasty man benno

― jsa, Wednesday, 31 August 2005 23:02 (twenty years ago)

Sydney Swans by 9 points
Geelong Cats by 35 points
Adelaide Crows by 17 points
Kanga-bloody-roos by 29 points

All four games live into Brisbane. Hoot, Hoot, Hoot. I love you Channel 10.

And for all the diatribe thrown at the AFL by footy people, self included, record attendances dispite Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon in bottom 25% of ladder, the MCG a construction site and the Dome being an experiment in wetland gross polutant trapping.

Now Andy, get the TV stuff right and they name the rising star medal after you.

― Big Bird (Big Bird), Thursday, 1 September 2005 01:03 (twenty years ago)

Well said, Bird that is large.

You can also throw in a few improvements regarding the tribunal, the draw, the amount of Vic clubs and most of all, the bloody umpiring. Protect the ball getters and stop justifying the existence of the bloody rules committee.

Too easy really.

regards,

REB

I'll make it worse Jase - the victory will come after the siren.

A dodgy free is given against a fair Byron Pickett shirtfront on Leigh Colbert (who is about the only bloke in the League who isn't afraid of a shirtfront), Chad or Kane Cornes mouth off at the umpires, a 50 is given and Leigh Colbert sinks the goal from 50 out for victory...

― Bennö (Bennö), Thursday, 1 September 2005 04:59 (twenty years ago)

Colbert kick a ball more than 50 metres now that would be a miracle.

― jsa, Thursday, 1 September 2005 06:24 (twenty years ago)

BB I have to agree I'm really excited about the fact I can watch footy live tomorrow night, and the rest of the weekend.

However Now Andy, get the TV stuff right and they name the rising star medal after you.

Will the Rising Star medal also change shape if it's named after the Big Greek, will it be the 'come from behind winner', and if so what shape?

― Lucy Lion (Lucy Lion), Thursday, 1 September 2005 08:50 (twenty years ago)

SWANS (12) - can shut down west Coast midfield and have a much more potent forward set-up

MELBOURNE (21) - playing with more consistency and Geelong couldn't even beat them at Cardigan Park three weeks ago

ST KILDA (10) - if Thomas had had his choice of opponent given a full strength forward line and patched-up-with-PK defense, the MOTN would have been it

ROOS (40) - yes I have heard of Wayne Carey, Choco. So have a whole lot of people who would scratch their head for five minutes then mumble 'didn't he sing that song 'Show No Mercy' around 1991?' if you asked if they had heard of Mark Williams.

Well I messed that tipping up by hating Port Adelaide with a passion didn't I .... never mind... Are we still tipping for next week? If so....

Sydney to nullify Geelongs attack by 14 pts.
Adelaide because as previously mentioned, I detest Port Adelaide. Crows by 13 pts (and hopefully extremely tired before they travel to the House of Pain)

― christina, Sunday, 4 September 2005 11:08 (twenty years ago)

Well cristina you might hate them a little more in a couple of weeks, because here we come.....

Especially seeing as Sydney were cheated out of the game friday night.

― jsa, Sunday, 4 September 2005 22:40 (twenty years ago)

I've always said tipping competitions were totally over-rated!!!!!!:(

― Lucy Lion (Lucy Lion), Monday, 5 September 2005 07:27 (twenty years ago)

I see I've taken my home and away form into the finals. You've got to respect a bloke who is consistant week in and week out.

― Big Bird (Big Bird), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 02:11 (twenty years ago)

Well done BB - I'm following Port's example and choking!

― Lucy Lion (Lucy Lion), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 10:15 (twenty years ago)

Sydney by 4 goals
Port by 11 points

― Bennö (Bennö), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 21:56 (twenty years ago)

Good one lucy

1st year with no extra help = not making the finals

― Rik E Boy (Rik E Boy), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 20:50 (twenty years ago)

Sydney by 25pts
Power by 7 goals+

― jsa, Wednesday, 7 September 2005 21:31 (twenty years ago)

Sydney by 68. The sour pussies to cop some cricism for another insipid performance, and they will all mope their way bag to their Geelong hole to cry on each other's shoulders. What a bunch of soft sooks they are.

Adelaide by 1 point. Williams will say that they were bored and that only grand finals can excite them now. Will be good the see the back of them, especially their whiney coach.

― chrisso (chrisso), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 22:04 (twenty years ago)

Sydney - 14 points.
Adelaide - 4 points

― Westener (Westener), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 22:58 (twenty years ago)

Sydney Swans - 20 points: Will tackle Geelong out of the game and BBB Hall will be so angry at himself after last week he'll kick 60 goals for the night

Adelaide Crows - 15 points: Seems it could be wet and Adelaide's low scoring forward line may be able to get away with an 9 - 12 goal game.

― Big Bird (Big Bird), Thursday, 8 September 2005 22:14 (twenty years ago)

Sydney and Adelaide by 20 points each.

― Fred Nerk (Fred Nerk), Friday, 9 September 2005 01:29 (twenty years ago)

Nick Davis

I wholeheartedly withdraw the naming of you as a complete hack. You have won Friday nights game off your own boot, and almost did it the week before in Perth.

However, you may still be a mummies boy and I dislike you for that.

But you are keeping the dream alive for the Sydney media for another week. And that can only be good for football north of the Murray.

― Bennö (Bennö), Sunday, 11 September 2005 10:04 (twenty years ago)

Sydney - 14 points.
Adelaide - 4 points

Protest!!!

I really meant 84 points. Really. I typed the 8 in but it didn't show. Really.

Anyway, I always knew that PAP were crap.

Wonder if jase will barrack for the Crows this weekend just to keep the dream alive for the Croweaters?

Wouldnt be sprouting too much Westy, you won nought yet, were handed your first finals win, so you keep spruiking you might end up a laughing stock by this time next week.

― jsa, Sunday, 11 September 2005 21:55 (twenty years ago)

That's a distinct possibility, jase, but I'll be a laughing stock from a higher level than your insipid lot.

― Westener (Westener), Sunday, 11 September 2005 22:23 (twenty years ago)

I protest, Christina has only been here a couple of weeks and she's just about flogging us all! :)

― Lucy Lion (Lucy Lion), Sunday, 11 September 2005 23:10 (twenty years ago)

5 games clear with 6 left, finish second, win a final based on cheating umpires then get knocked out in the home prelim, i hardly think so westy..

― jsa, Sunday, 11 September 2005 23:14 (twenty years ago)

Lucy

Not only have I only been here a couple of weeks ....

I forgot to put my tips in for last weekend!!!! How does that work?

Anyhoo - Come on West Coast!!!!

― Christina, Monday, 12 September 2005 10:50 (twenty years ago)

Damn - that's influence!!!

No you didn't, unless someone else is using your name. First post after the first lot of results.

Eagles by 5pts, cant tip the crows, it would be unbearable but shite how funny to watch the eagles be the first home side preliminary finalist to lose, still suspect finals record considering the last win was undeserved.

Sydney by 42 pts

― jsa, Tuesday, 13 September 2005 02:51 (twenty years ago)

Oh Yeah - there it is....oops!! Forgive my stupidity, I have three children and forget alot of things!!

West Coast by 27pts

― Christina, Tuesday, 13 September 2005 04:28 (twenty years ago)

― Lucy Lion (Lucy Lion), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 04:57 (twenty years ago)

I have three children and forget alot of things!!

So do I and my wife remembers everything that I do. Especially the times I came home late from the pub 15 years ago and things like that. She never forgets anything.

― Westener (Westener), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 05:35 (twenty years ago)

..and you've never done it again. Good boy Westy.

Sydney - Saints just too unsettled for me - all the same, a hard fought match - 16 points
Eagles - absolutely rapt with the Raptors - to rout the Scavengers by 27 points

Saints by 39
Adelaide by 19

chrisso

How are you going to run the tips for the Brownlow and Norm Smith? Do we need to pick 1,2,3 or a votes margin or what?

― Westener (Westener), Thursday, 15 September 2005 23:50 (twenty years ago)

Yeah I reckon 3 points if you pick the winner and two for second and one for third in the Brownlow. Just the winner of the Normy with 1 point for getting that.
