Can you tip a winner?

So it has come to this.

The AFL season has been pretty exciting this year and with one round still left to play there are only five of the sixteen clubs who can’t play finals football. The final make up of the top eight won’t be completely decided until the end of next weekend’s final round of games.

In the same way, The Journey Football Tipping Competition is a long way from being over with the final winner set to be decided after the final round.

I reckon the winner could be any of six people out of the seventeen who participated in the competition.

With one round to go Mark Edwards and Shawna are on top of the tipping ladder with 103 correct tips each. I’m amazed to be tied with Andrew on 102 correct tips. In the middle of the season I was so far down the ladder I thought there was no way of coming back. There are also two people tied together on 101 correct tips. Scott Sladen and Geoff are two tips away from the lead but with some good tipping this week either of them could leap from the rest of us to snatch the lead.

I wonder who will grab the inaugural The Journey Football Tipping Competition.

  • Bugger!

    I should have joined your competition. I am 110 and running 3rd in mine.

    As a virgin tipper I am pretty pleased with the result, but with one week to go and 2 points gap between me and top spot I think it might be all over

  • Grr! I had to pre-tip the last three sounds due to 2 family holiday, which has proved to be my undoing. I only scored 3 in two of the three rounds! I blame living in sydney and only being able to watch one game every other week – unless i’m up for watching a game at midnight…:-)

  • well…I’ve always thought that people who won tipping comps know nothing about football…because Footy is not an exact science…
    So this just prove my point….Hamo and myself…know nothing about footy 🙂

  • Well, I’ve gone for a few “riskier” tips this week in the hope that they’ll get over the line and shoot me into first place 🙂

  • No idea! May the best team win…
    But – just a little bit off-topic – I would like to know more about your very first car. Read my blog if you like this idea. Hi from Holland
