With just over 24 hours to starting time, 68 members have joined, and a few regulars are yet to respond. Glen, Margo, where are you? At least you are both guaranteed one win tomorrow night playing GWS, so you are each guaranteed one point for the Swannies this season.

I have also been kindly been offered a couple of spot prizes from PeterS which will be going off in Rounds 3 and 5. Only members who joined in Week One will be eligible for these. Here is the list of our starters to date:

That's a definite Norm. Let's hope I can see your team in action against another good team like say Collingwood (see I do know something about the Mexican game :wink:

We had over 30 starters the first year, over 50 in the next two years, and started with 75 last year, and we all had a really good time.

C'mon folks we need another few tipsters by my count, in the next ONE HOUR to set an all-time record for round one. :mrgreen:

You need know NOTHING about AFL to enter .... indeed to WIN, as our winners in the first few years proved!

Norm's rules are that the tips need to be made by 7pm MELBOURNE time.

Global Administrator · **Posted:** Sat Mar 24, 2012 17:07:51 pm

Tillotsen --- my recollection is Norm wanted just one selection per member, but he can advise later on that.

He will demand an increase in his 10 grains of sticky rice cat-herder recompense if we overload him too much. :lol:

Anyway, whatever he decides, just a few more starters and we beat last year's starter field it seems. :mrgreen:
