Saving grace there mate is that most people in the top of ladders are failing too I have noticed. 2 is a good score! $5K is a good pot. Who do you work for?

Well, I decided that this was the round to do a bit of phantom tipping :lol:
It'd be great to have the guts to tip like that every week with a season like this one
:P ..Only missed out on Brizzy, but had it locked in until not long before kickoff... dang! That's tipping for you!
Gonna change my nick to 'CompletelyMad' for the remaining 3 rounds and see where it gets me :P

Good luck for Round 20 :)

Well done Piemad, it may just get you a placing! I knew picking Freo was a mistake, but I lucked out on Brisbane!

Unless all the faves get home :).... it's bound to happen at least once before the end of the season, but I'm thinkin' the last round could see a little tanking going on with the top 4 if it's settled by then...

Tipping seasons can be won and lost in that last round I see over time, even though this tipping comp goes right through the finals as well by the looks of it:P

I reckon lotsa faves will get home in Rd. 20, although when ya look at it, how can ya separate some of them!.... now that's a make or break round too by the looks of it :P

Nice work on Brizzy too!

It's pretty hard to tip the underdogs when you're on top of a comp... having a similar experience on top of another comp at the mo!.... you've got a handy buffer though... can afford to pick a few here and there maybe :D

As I have said before, with the bonus point system in this comp, a four lead is nothing really. I also must remember it goes through the finals, as I have forgotten in past years and it has cost me!! I suck at tipping finals too.....
