TooSerious

So, some scumbag just knocked me out of my gym and dumped a 1400+ Lapras on it.

Rude.

Least I get to evolve my Eevee tonight though. And I've still got that other gym that I had to trespass with the kiddoes to reach- doesn't look like anyone else has been game enough for that yet.

All after lockout of course.

So, how have you all gone? Personally, I've been trolling the streets with my kids hunting electrons, but I heard there was some footy on also!

Another good week of tipping with 5 from 6 and Gold Coast were a nice “50:50” tip. Certainly we’ve found ourselves sneaking back up towards the top of our respective tipping ladders following the Round 12 debacle. We’ll try and focus on games between finals contenders for the remainder of the season and so this week we take a look at the Cats vs Swans and Eagles vs Roos games so turn over for the TipBetPro match previews and all the remaining Round 16 tips.

I didn’t want to say it, I hoped that if I pretended it didn’t exist that it would just go away, but unfortunately its back… the Buy of the Week curse.

For about the 5th week running a Buy of the Week failed to really perform, with Monty only getting 70 points. Even Trengove got dropped and he was supposed to be a safe bet as a mid-season cash-cow.

Nevertheless, we will keep at it. So read on to find out who we name as our Buy of the Week this week – if or no other reason, you know to not get him!

So, the last bye round AND a federal election. What a time to be alive.

Hopefully you managed to pick up a few snags and avoid Gaz as captain!

Home stretch now. Let us know how you're sitting after these byes kicked our ass. (Or was that just me? )

We got the crucial Collingwood 50/50 Tip last week to get 5 from 6 with just the huge St Kilda upset tripping us up. A good round of fixtures for the last bye round with four games standing out as potential close ones. Turn over for all our Round 15 tips and a look at the TBP Model Mid-Season (well Round 14) All Australian Team.

These Thursday night games, while good for the watching, really throw out my week!!

Teams over the break.

Well It’s up… Finally… Sort of.

I won’t lie, it was rushed and not the greatest Best Buys of all time, but I’ve got the normally lists up and will add some comments as we go.

Most importantly I’ve picked a BoTW, so read over for more…

So, one more round of the byes incoming.

How good were those Sainters!!

Feels like a toughish round, but at least I had Collins on the ground instead of Tucker!

And who held Menadue all this time? The little ripper *finally* paid off!

How'd you go?

1 game down and we are off to a good start, only missing the margin by 5.

Have now updated with the rest of our tips, and the write up of the most interesting/only interesting game for the remainder of the weekend - Collingwood v Fremantle.

Read over for all that and more (well actually just all that)...
