ROUND 16 gave us another tied game, so we only had to pick 8 winners. The hardest one to pick finished up as the game between Melbourne and GWS in Alice Springs. With the huge amount of rain poured through Central Australia this week, the oval was a real mess (for both teams) but with Melbourne being a running team and kicking 5 goals 15 points and losing by just 2 points, most of our tipsters missed this as nearly everyone selected Melbourne.
No one selected 9/9, but Ted Bulluss did score 8/9 – missing the Melbourne game. Well done Ted.
As a result of this week’s games we now have two people at the top of the leader’s board. On a great score of 96, we have Mike Concannon and Don Doig. Good consistent tipping by you both. They have broken away a little with the next best score being 92 by Gail Harper, Mark Rule and Lena Wilkinson. They themselves have also broken away from the rest of the pack with the next highest being in the high 80s, BUT there are still another 72 games to go so look out!
With no winner this week, our jackpot goes up to $80-40 for next week. At this stage, we have 24 people who will receive cash at the end of the season, so let’s add more names to this list over the coming 8 rounds.
GOOD LUCK
CHRIS & NOLA WILSON
