They're 5 from 18 there Mo. (5 from 16 in H&A games). A lot of those losses were early on though, when they didn't have as strong a team as they do now.

Thanks for that statistic.
Now the other concern is if Tredrea comes up.
Actually,I haven't had much luck in Friday night footy.Might have talked myself into staying out of this game.

Gday Mo, Just for the record regarding the Pies, I don't think they are certainties. I just think that their man on man game upsets Port and I don't really rate the Power. I think they play great footy when they can get plenty of uncontested footy and are probly the most highly skilled team in the comp, but big games arent played like that. Just look who wins flags.
They may well thrash the pies this week but they can't win the flag for mine.
Secondly, with regargs to the Brownlow betting I was also talking in jest when I mentioned he will go in the book this week, but my msg may not have read that way.
Thirdly, i've read some of ur comments regarding tote punting and maybe ur right when you say, they have a lot of ******** on their minds etc etc and maybe I just have an iron heart, but sorry buddy, those ********ers who do that drive me barmy.
Finally, I've read some of your other excerpts about ur own punting and it can be a dark well when your stuck in a tote, betting race to race to race. I've certainly done that at times in the past.
Some basic suggestions to improve that are don't read the formguide daily or listen/watch the racing channel.That helps minimise your interest and you can break that cycle.
Just remember any habit takes 30 days to make or break!!
I hope this msg hasn't overstepped the boundary with you or upset you. Your msg's are funny and you seem like a good bloke but finally don't forget; the lions will create some carnage this week on your sainters

Not feeling well this week Goldmember?

Some say 21 days should do it.
The urge usually grabs me when the sun goes down.Wifes home,kids are back from school.Nothing on TV.

Beautiful tipping there Mug Punta.Wrong as usual but beautiful nevertheless.And they actually aren't my Sainters really.It's just that the only way of getting my Bank Balance back to black is by the Saints taking out the big one.
Don't have a team that I barrack for unless it's got my dollars riding on it.

Got a feeling that theres going to be an upset this week,i was confident that the swans would win last week,but as much as it hurts, OUCH! i've tipped essendon.

Now where did I put that banned list?

Moeee, banned from backing ,not from tipping !
