AFL Grand Final
SAT 2:30 PM West Coast Vs Sydney (MCG)

Okay, a mammoth 24 points up for grabs here if anyone's good enough. ;)

If by some miracle the game should happen to go to extra time, we will go by the final result and score after that is decided.

Winning team and margin:
Pick which team will win and whether they'll win by 1-24 or 25+ pts. 2 points for picking the correct team, and an extra 2 points for the correct margin. Also, pick the exact margin you think the winning team will win by. The person that gets the closest will get 4 bonus points. If they get the margin exactly spot on, they'll get a further 8 bonus points.

Total pts:
Pick whether the total number of points scored in the match will be 0-160, 161-190, 191-220 or 221+ pts. 2 bonus points if you're correct.

Team pts:
For each team, pick whether their score will be 0-80, 81-95, 96-110 or 111+ pts. 1 bonus point if you get one team right, 2 bonus points if you get both.

First goal:
Name three players (can have all 3 from one team if you wish) and if one of those 3 players is the first goal kicker in the match, you get 2 bonus points.

Norm Smith Medal:
Name three players (again all 3 from one team if you like) and if one of those 3 is chosen as the Norm Smith Medallist, you get 2 bonus points.

Please post your tips something like this:

West Coast 25+ (28)
Total pts (161-190)
Team pts (WCst 96-110, Sydney 0-80)
First goal (Hansen, Chick, O'Laughlin)
Norm Smith (Cousins, Judd, Kirk)

Take plenty of time over your tips, to check for injuries and suspensions (Hall). No need to post tips until just before the game starts next Saturday afternoon.

west coast 1-24 (23)

Just heard that there wouldn't actually be any extra time if it's drawn at full time. Not suggesting that it's likely to be a draw, but even so, that's a bit weird!

Surely, nobody wants to tip a draw, do they?

Could you guys please tell me the first goal scorer. I had to go out, so I missed it.

Don't worry. I got it.

Well done Rabbitz on getting closest to the result. I'm surprised so many of us went with West Coast when ALL of the money was for Sydney.

Congratulations, and I hope everyone had a bit of fun with this comp this year.

Well it seems I have done my best to lose this comp.....

But great to see a crackerjack game.. Too often do we get disappointed by the lack of competition in our Grand Finals, but not today... As a starved supporter, I guess I am as happy to see Swans win as anybody....

Tonight I celebrate football, and a great day on the punt... Hope you all can say the same.....

Oh, and it took me so long to type that, that I missed the final results.... Damn beer...... lol

Will celebrate that too I guess, any excuse...

Cheers to Sportz for the great organisation he put in this year, in not only this comp, but so many others. It is much appreciated.
Tis a lonely game we play, but this forum helps bring us all together.
Everybody have a good one....

Thanks BJ.

Yep. Despite my GF tips going down the gurgler here, I've done okay today and had a good year overall on the punt with AFL. :)

God damn it. I forgot my AFL tips :(

Great Work Sportz,I don't know if you have a fulltime job or just live off the punt but you could run a small company,great organisational skills,finger on the pulse etc
cheers

Congratulations BJ :D

and

Congratulations and much appreciation to Sportz, fantastic competitions. The best I've been involved with by far! shame the site operators aren't into merchandising or we could perhaps have a small prize for the winners of the respective competitions. ;) Or even a free entry to one of their paid tipping forums. ;)

I for one would vote for that.....

Congrats BJ and also to sportz forall the time you put into running these comps.

Thanks guys. :)

ditto , sportz you have earnt a well deserved let up ,just sit back and enjoy the spring carnival coming up.

Congratulations BJ, you timed your run sweetly.:D

Thanks againn to Sportz, another great accomplishment:)

who won the 2004 season in tipping if anyone can recall

this year was the debut for the comp.
