Further to that, this is their away record over the last 5 years. W, W, W, W, W, W, W, W, W, W, L (8 pts), W, W, W, W, W, W, L (24 pts), W, W, L (2 pts)
The Eagles will have a huge advantage in the ruck but Collingwood have the better midfield. It just depends if Cloke and Dawes decide to pull their finger out and do something. As for Port, I know how bad we really are!!!! We should have lost by 12 goals plus last week, the Eagles went easy on us. I think Brisbane will be too quick for us and we don't have anyone who can control J Brown. I am hoping the weather clears up before the game tomorrow afternoon.
Here is a summary of what everyone has picked this week 4 people have picked Tigers at -4.5pts 1 person has picked GWS at +79.5pts 5 people have picked Bris at -6.5pts 1 person has picked Swans at +2.5pts 1 person has picked Hawks at -2.5pts 1 person has picked Suns at +66.5pts 1 person has picked Blues at -66.5pts 1 person has picked North at -17.5pts 2 people have picked Crows at -38.5pts And some person did not put their tip in this round - down to 17 people now!!!!
Well done again! Would've been a really tense game to watch, but at least you're alive for another week
Far out, that was a very nerve racking 2 hours of footy. I could not watch the kick by Pearce in the last minute of the game. I was praying he was going to miss and thankfully he did!!!! At least I had a fair bit to drink at the footy to calm my nerves. A special shout out to Zorko. You are a gun!!!!
So how does it work from here, does it keep going through the finals? Or does everyone left at the end of next week get 50k? Well done again by the way!
If there is more than one person left at the end of the minor round, it will then go into the finals. If there is more than one person left at the end of the grand final, the prize money will be split by the number of people left. It is going to be a lot harder in the finals. Only 4 games to choose from in week one, and then 2 games in weeks 2 and 3. That is if I make it far!!! Someone forgot to put there tip in this week, so there was 17 left at the start of this round.
Glad you're still in the comp Steve - got a text from Lucas whilst at the airport saying that Port were playing well and that you'd be nervous - must've been a nerve wracking time at the game mate
13 people left in the comp. Next weeks round will be very interesting. I think a lot of teams will be playing dead next week if results go against them, e.g Collingwood if West Coast beat the Hawks.
Nerve wracking week coming up for ya mate - time to get the crystal ball out, read the tea leaves, consult the tarot cards & clairvoyants!!!
Great news Steve and good luck. I thought that the line was further out and you may have lost. Then I logged on this morning and it made my day to see you still going
