Testing the Tippers

Well, it's going to sort it out this week isn't it? There's a bunch of tippers that look like they've been following the bookies. What are you going to do this week?

The bookies like Adelaide at home - dare you pick them?

Bulldogs v Brisbane - they say the Bulldogs will win but Brisbane are playing good footy.

Freo v Kangas - is this the breakthrough for Freo or no - if it was Telstra I'd go Freo but its subiaco - but the Kangas are a better team - aaarrgghhh!

Collingwood v Carlton - mmmmm?

Richmond v Melbourne - Richmond favourites but I might put a few bob on Melbourne.

As I said, maybe the bookies have it wrong this week - it's your call.

What's your premiership tip?

What about Geelong to take the double with Young Hawks as runner-up?

Chris Judd should be a stand-out at Carlton shouldn't he? Will they win enough games for him to take the Brownlow. Tough to win in a losing side. But I reckon they will and he's my favourite. If that's true then Brendan Fevola will have to be one the end of some great leads, and should take out the Coleman.

Central Sports Footy Tipping

Footy tipping is always a lot of fun. We've got quite a mix of supporters working at Central Sports, including the Crows, Saints and the Bulldogs. There's good fun with the Courier tipping and the inside bets on who ends up the better tipster makes for some fun end of season payouts.

This year we've started our own footy tipping competition. With weekly and end of season prizes it's sure to be fun! Check it out ...

NAB Grand Final 2008

$30 a ticket is a bit rich. I know it's a grand final but both coaches are talking it down. I reckon $15-$20 would be great, especially if it would encourage a bunch of friends to go. At this price they'd get close to a full house and the extra money spent on car parking, food and beer would more than make up for it.

I'm a Crows fan and Lia is St Kilda so it's a family showdown too. Maybe we need to have a bet with the loser wearing opposition colours next week. Keep an eye out in the store next week to see what Lia is wearing - then you'll know the Crows won! Go Crows!

Hills Hackers Jan 2008

It was a great day last Sunday (6/1/08) as the Hills Hackers tore up Oakbank Golf Course. A fine turnout with some rare appearances from Richard, Tony & Ian, along with a couple of sharks. Random groups balanced out the field, eskis were in position and it was game on.

Plenty of golfers were thankful for the Ambrose format otherwise some of them would still be out there. The out-of-bounds grapevines got a hammersing, as did the the eski on the 4th tee. Nearest the pin was setup early with by Dave J. Quite a few others didn't hit the green all day. The longest drive started out with a huge hit by John H. It was beaten by an outsider playing the course, then "Legend in the Making' Squiz took it out, smack in the middle of the fairway, a monster drive.

Playing left-handed at the 8th par 3 was a bit of fun, in fact it was one of the better shots of the day for Tony S. Ian H made us chuckle when his clun went further than the ball - no he didn't throw it, he was playing a shot!

Final honours went to Robbo, Dave J, Jack and Scott with a even par 68. Best putt went to Jamie F, and worst shot of the day was a close tie between Ian, Tony, Robbo, Dave F, Richard, Claude, Steve J & Patrick.

Until next time ...
