Logique, are you thinking of doing the finals tipping again this year?

I hope so

Hi Tink,
happy to do so if people want - if so, I'll ask Joe for a 2013 version of last year's AFL Tipping Thread - 2012 AFL Finals Tipping - https://www.aussiestockforums.com/f...5323&page=7&highlight=2012+AFL+Finals+Tipping

In the meantime use this thread for your tips, by this Friday 7:00 pm EST please. Last year, late entrants started from the lowest progressive score.

Round 1-
Hawthorn vs Sydney - (not you again)
Geelong vs Fremantle - (directions needed to Simonds Stadium)
Richmond vs Carlton - (possible upset of the first round)
Collingwood vs Port Adelaide - (wearing different jumpers we hope)
 
Good to hear, Logique

My tips for this week are -

Hawthorn
Geelong
Carlton
Collingwood

Thanks
 
This is the time of year i miss being in Aus and watching the games with friends etc

Collingwood
Carlton

Just to be different:

Sydney - Hawks could be vulnerable without Buddy; should be much closer than last weekend
Freo - especially if it's as "spiteful" as Chris Scott suggests
Port
Richmond
 
I'm ways so nervous this time of the year!

Don't know if I could sit through a Cats v Hawks GF if it came to that!
 
Thanks Logique, good on you.

Very surprised to see Geelong lose at their home ground this week.
Collingwoods out.
And we have half a happy home here, with the Carlton win.

The other half is happy to see Melbourne has a new coach, Paul Roos.
 
Four great games, really enjoyable round. Carlton entitled to come up here with some confidence next week.
Roos will be good for the Demons.
 
I enjoyed the Carlton/Richmond game more than watching my own team win. The turnaround was spectacular. It was as if Richmond peaked too early and then adopted the mindset of "just stick it out and we're there" as opposed to "now let's blow them out of the park". The former attitude will give the opposition a sniff of blood, always. They made it easy for Carlton in the end. Betfair had Carl at $2.10 as they were storming back to even scores.
 
I could not be happier with my beloved Power
I don't think we will triumph over Geelong though.

A really good season with lots of fresh hope,with new players,coaches sponsors and president.

Hoping like hell Geelong don't give us another 100 point finals spanking
 
Watchout you southern so called AFL aristocracy, : the Lions are coming back to their inimitable best.

Brisbane Lions board battle ends

The silence was deafening but the result profound. Leigh Matthews, the fabled premiership coach, will return to the Brisbane Lions after a prolonged boardroom battle that has seen chairman Angus Johnson vacate his post.

After a board meeting that stretched past five hours on Wednesday, two months of in-fighting finally came to an end when Johnson agreed to stand down, as did Paul Williams, the feisty leader of the rival ticket which rose up to seize power in late August.

Late Wednesday night, Brisbane-based businessman Bob Sharpless was named chairman.

In will come Matthews as a football director, a position that will see him take a hands-off approach on match day but serve to ensure everything is in place for success under new coach Justin Leppitsch.

It will be a move welcomed by the overwhelmingly pro-Matthews membership base, which would have undoubtedly swept his Fresh Start ticket to power if the November 13 emergency general meeting had gone ahead.
