Yes Sportznut,I watched the delayed telecast,but was more concerned by the margin bracket rather than the actual margin.
My ratings had Collingwood by 27 points but I gave Richmond 18 points for the new coach and the motivation to win.That dropped the margin to 9 points.
Unfortunately I gave them a further 6 points because Buckley wasn't playing making my prediction 3 pts.
But I realize that my player ratings would have allowed for the fact that Buckley was out so I know better for next time.

Just thought of something!
Suppose Richmond wins by 2 points.Nearest tipster had Richmond by 18 points.Would I have been the most accurate?

I'm not doing any ratings until the real stuff comes around. I just thought that Collingwood were about 18-24 points better than Richmond and took a couple of goals off for no Buckley. So I thought they'd perhaps win by between 6 & 12 points. In the end I went with 10 pts.

Fremantle's leading by 7 at half time.

Wouldn't count my winnings just yet.
For my interest,how do you know the score?

No. Even though technically you would have been the closest, you have to pick the winning team to have a chance at the bonus 2 points.

How about Collingwood wins by 25.I tipped them by 24.I get a point for the win,but zero for the margin.Am I still in the running for the nearest tipster 2 point bonus?

Live scores from http://afl.com.au/

Having a bit of trouble with that site at the moment, but you can always use this as a backup:

West Coast 16 in front now, halfway through the 3rd quarter. I'll be damn mad if the West Coast run away with this. Was originally going to tip them, but I was swayed by weight of money and opinion.

Yes, and you'd be highly likely to get it.
