What was I thinking?

WELL DONE!

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!

Is that 8 bonus points Sportz????

Your a quick one Sportz :D

Yep. Was that last goal kicked after the siren? I had the sound turned down on the telly.

Not sure Sportz, i didn't watch the game, just kept on updating the AFL website every few minutes.

Can't believe Richmond led 86 - 9 at HT, i think i updated the page about 5 times to make sure :D

I think it was either after the siren or right on the siren. Otherwise it would have been 24 points.

Yeah, have no idea what happened to Carlton in the first half. The second half was pretty even but Richmond probably stopped trying by then.

the lions ? WOW - Woeful Old Women, that was a pathetic display again tonight and the last time i'll back them bludgers , must have been an off game last week for Essendon to let them win !

Well, so much for that, huh.

Rabbitz, perhaps NOW you realise why I don't like to tip them. Tipped them 3 times this year, they've lost all 3 of them (2 as VERY short priced favourites).

I'm extremely superstitious and I've hardly ever even entered tipping comps before this year for that very reason.

Sportz, they had everything in their favour, at home, BROWN back and in form,winning 10 of the last 11 against the bulldogs,who had won only 1 of their last 17 on the road and lost DARCY for the season, and they were NEVER - EVER in the hunt, thats talking from the humungas ? hole in my pocket

Well, I'm not talking from any hole in my pocket. I NEVER bet on my own team. Thought they should have been able to win tonight though.

Dont know what happened to my tips this week. I remember typing the message and submitting but never hung around to check. Never assume anything when computers are involved. Just for the record I tipped the six winners and 4 bonus points. I tipped stkilda by 17 so missed out there.

A bit premature there. I'm assuming freo will win by 25+ HA HA

Well Ron, you'll be given the lowest score of all of the other tipsters this week. Better just hope that's an okay score. I'm working them out now.

I"M SPITTING THE DUMMY

Do you think that you are the only one having trouble getting the answers?
Try to analyze what is is that you are looking at when you are making your decisions and try to modify your selection process somewhat.
Not that I know much, but I do know that I'm still up there in this comp without any spectacular results in any round.

I put forward that the Doctor get the full 10 points.
All those in favour say AYE,those against,NAY!
Better still,only the NAY's need make comment.
One NAY and you're gone doctor.

NO way .I get 10 if he does. EDITED your comment about "modifying my selection process".(Do you mean pick more winners out of EDITED )I doubt any one spends the amount of time I have in the past selecting my tips.Your sounding like that EDITED.

No. As unlucky as he may be, Dr Ron only gets 5 points. Sorry about that, but that's the way it is. As Ron said, never presume anything with computers. Always check to make sure that something has been posted.

IS that you moeee?
Isn't the point of a forum discussion.If someone has a crack at me mate I'm entitled to have a crack back.I don't consider using the word ************ as swearing either .This is Australia.When I swear I say #@$%!

Marko.
I believe you may have been offended by me calling you Mr.Einstein.
Apologies if you read something sinister there.
I was trying to make the point that none of us are Einstein, no matter how hard we try,and we don't always come up with the correct solution.

Please note name calling should be avoided.

Bit like Jason Johnson aye?
When things are taken out of context,problems can arise.
But always remember that we come to see the players and not so much the umpires.

Can't see anywhere you called me that so wasn't offended.WHAT I found offensive was your arrogance (well I'm still right up there).
I too was RIGHT up there earlier on and still have so many rounds to go.This is great though because I have someone to try and catch now and it just adds so much more to this competition.When I do end up in front I'll always be rejoyceful (is that a word?)but definately not arrogant.You remember someone recently who displayed that arrogancy and fairly annoyed you (who was subsequently booted)so I suppose your comments took me back a bit,coming from you that is,one who seems generally liked in this forum.

Anyone no hard feelings at all mate .I like you love the footy and are as many are very passionate about it.Nothing wrong with that.

Arrogance is usually directed at successful people.
Never really thought schoolteachers as being arrogant because they tried to impart knowledge.

Damn I wish I had of checked my tips on Friday. I was sure I had tipped the Hawks to win. :doh: :(

Sportz, my lack of tips this week was not dummy spitting on my behalf because of last weeks muck up. My always connected broadband connection seems to be off more often than its on and seems to go off at the most important times ( weekends) Optus blame telstra and telstra blame optus, I dont know who to blame.

for the record, i had a dirty weekend tipping with only 2 winners so I may be better off under your system.
