I'm not tipping this year (I absolutely recommend it - I can finally fully enjoy neutral games hahaha), but:

Sydney v. Collingwood
North Melbourne v. GWS
Richmond v. West Coast
Geelong v. Melbourne
Port Adelaide v. Adelaide
Fremantle v. Western Bulldogs
St. Kilda v. Brisbane
Carlton v. Essendon
Gold Coast v. Hawthorn

I reckon that's an extremely difficult round to tip.

Boy oh boy, wowee - not a great start for Sydney this year!

Man, I am just going to randomise my tips next week. So so.. frustrating lol

rip north melbourne <3

rip us for taking a player made out of glass from you guys

[Aaron]

rip us for taking a player made out of glass from you guys

You guys got Greenwood & Wells from us. Both duds + both walked away for money.

I really laugh this season when people celebrate beating North. Like. hello.. nearly 3/4 of our team are new and inexperienced vs. experienced teams such as Geelong. Realistically Geelong should not be celebrating over a 1 point victory, they were pretty much at full strength and we just dropped off late in the 4th qtr due to inexperience + burnout.

Our loss against GWS though was deserved - barely any effort past half time. That will get better with more game time for the young guys. Though I have had to walk out of the room a few times to calm myself down - they are so frustrating to watch even when our team was experienced lol

I must say though I didn't expect the Pies to win at the SCG... that screwed up my tips and put my margin further out lol

For Aaron's sake and Brenden's sake and insanipi's sake, get up, North!

I wouldn't say it is intense, but can say it is an intriguing game ahaha

[Rod]

HAHAHAHA LINSAY THOMAS YOU ABSOLUTE SPUD, HAD TWO GOOD OPPORTUNITIES IN THE LAST MINUTE TO SEAL THE GAME BUT CHOKED. That's what you get for being the number one spud of the whole league.

0-4 North Melbourne, 0-4 Sydney, and hopefully 0-4 Hawthorn. Beautiful.

[Joseph41]

I feel for North. That deliberate call was beyond absurd.

[Aaron]

I feel for North. That deliberate call was beyond absurd.

Agree. But then I ask myself again and again why we keep doing this. We should have won that game, but didn't due to not taking our opportunities. We were what 29 or so points up in the third quarter and just let them do their thing. That deliberate was absolute rubbish but it was one of many that were terrible calls (on both sides).

We just can't capitalise on our opportunities - and this again, is due to inexperience. When you wipe out 4+ experienced players and replace them with fresh faces that have barely had game time, it is expected that the performance will drop. But it seems some people don't understand that.

I'd rather lose by 40+ points than that. 2nd time now where it's come down to the wire.. this is more painful. I'm glad we can keep up though for most, proving people wrong who said we'd get absolutely smashed in majority of our matches. One positive is that the stadium was nearly full, so the RCH will be getting some much needed additional $$, which is great.
