For those who take it way too seriously
We enjoyed a great round of tipping in Round 7 with the highlight indisputably predicting Carlton to take care of business against Collingwood. 8 correct tips (only 80 odd points out on the Suns!) took us to 46 for the season and well entrenched in the upper quartile of tipsters. A couple more upsets predicted by TipBetPro for this round – read over for our Round 8 Tips and a look at the two games where our model differs from the bookies market.
So, it's chaos in the forward line, but not too bad in the others. Still ducking and covering though. 
INS: Milera, Parish, Mitchell, Hooper, Adams, Rance, S. Gray
OUTS: McCarthy, Wells, Barlow, Greene, Rockliff, Adams

Well Shaw did okay, but let’s hope for a bit more out of him in future weeks. Parker however didn’t back up his previous week’s performance – but all of that is history now.

Flagpoles were snapped off at half-mast around the country this week as we honoured the fallen Hoppers three-peat.
Gundagai Grasshoppers 1037 def by Larrikin Lagoon Lefties 1218
Slicked with swamp-mire from the season breaking rains on KI, the Lefties trudged across the ditch to no man’s land to try and restore some pride after a dismal display the week prior. Mr Cripps was chomping at the bit to turn it on against his old club and the home crowd was not disappointed. In what was to be a bitter-sweet symphony, Cripps and Curnow tore the Lefties (and Pies) midfield apart. Cruelly, their superiority came at the expense of Aish, Cox and Grundy who floundered around looking for Rocky’s missing hammy. Gibson and Lewis surprised for the visitors, after finally being relieved of their back-breaking grind of having to prop up Jay Schulz (Weekend at Bernie’s style) at mid-week media events. A generally underwhelming contest with some forward line cameos from the Package and the Magic Haggis (prizes awarded for working that one out) giving the Hoppers false hope, only to be snuffed out by Joey late in the game.
Venus Bay Vultures 1187 def Iron Knob Codpieces 1025
Now we all know it’s a friggin long drive from the middle of nowhere in SA over to gloomy Venus Bay, so no one blames the Codpiece outfit for indulging in a light dusting of meth to see the journey through. However, it appears that ice was on the menu for all three courses, as the ‘Pieces rolled into town on another galaxy. Iron Knob’s ice-bender had them seeing snowmen all over the place with Gaz 82, Burger 80, Macrae 82, J Roo 84 and Hanley 58. On the flipside, the Vultures forward line proved that they are great breeders of one-trick ponies, with a knackery-worthy performance. As the match wore on, Coach Fitzy started beaming like a kid in a candy store as he legally sipped away on his tasty beverage and watched Docherty and Pittard towel up an...

Reckon I'll be lucky to crack 2k this week!
Which bizarrely, doesn't look too far off par!
Though I do see a couple of big 2300's around the traps
How'd you go?

Ok peeps, injuries are starting to heat up, the top 8 is settled and we're in the upgrade period.
Also, Carn the Blues.

We picked up one on bookies favourites last week (to go two ahead of that benchmark for the season – 6 different tips for 4 wins and 2 losses so far) as the Saints did our model proud in overcoming in the Demons. See over for our Round 7 Tips
And for this week’s feature article – we take a statistical look at the assertion in the media this week that the Top 8 may already be decided just 6 rounds in.

Interesting that Libba and Kerridge are both named. Prepare your emergencies!

Outs: Maric, Cotchin, Hodge, Weitering, Aliir, Parish, Daivs, Laird, Tucker
New: Brand, Crocker, Redman, MacPherson
Full teams over the break.

PARKER!!! – the curse, if there ever was one, has been broken by Parker who smashed it in with 151.
Well done to all those who picked him up instead of an Ablett or a Mitchell – but both of those should be good upgrade targets in a few weeks.
This week I couldn’t think of an obvious injury impacting a lot of teams so I have just gone with a player who seems to have turned it around.

ORRFA Review - Round 6
Larrikin Lagoon Lefties 1051 def by Marble Bar Misfits 1234
An impressive performance by the orange tsunami ensured a day out for coach Len. The Misfits overcame a pretty shit performance up forward to overwhelm an ordinary ‘Goonies outfit. Five tons to zero in the Misfits favour tells the story, with coach’s love children Ward, Kelly, Whitfield and Williams all raising the bat. As for the Lefties, well, just one of those days I suspect the coach would soon forget. A 49 from the usually unstoppable Goldy says it all really. And who would have thought someone would say that Goldy had his arse handed to him by Andrew Phillips (91)?
Following an evening spent at the Bar’s HQ, combined with the completely shite performance put up by the ‘Goonies this week, conspiracy theories are in full swing as to what dodgy tactics were employed by the folk from the Bar. Misfits by name, as they say….
Venus Bay Vultures 1364 def Gundagai Grasshoppers 985
Splat went the ‘Hoppers as Fitzy’s Vultures continued their bright start to the year and dished out an old fashioned beating to sNoZ’s mob. Parker (151) dominated in the middle and was well supported by Greene and Crisp. Hulk Hogan went into full beast mode up forward as he booted a lazy 7 on his way to 139.
Following the late withdrawal of Cripps, the 3 man Gundagai midfield battled hard for a combined 325 but other than Billings up forward, they got precious little help. And to add further insult, Weitering went down with a shoulder injury - possibly from carrying his fellow defenders, judging by some of their scores.
Iron Knob Codpieces 1205 def Lovely Banks Lilacs 964
Now sitting second on the ladder, Jimbo may be wondering where all the fuss about rucks comes from. While still scoring well below what we’ve come to expect from them, the Codpieces cruised to 5-1 on the back of strong performances from Hanley (128), Shuey and Macrae (both 114)....
