Wow.

Here is what my technique was....

I used to place my tips and folloe all matches through weekend for first four rounds....

This was a busy week so didn`t get to see this thread and when I see..... I have a surprise :wink:

. Hawthorn seems to be in deep trouble . That 11 helped to jump ahead a bit .

Round 6 tips will come up soon.

Thanks again Peter for your gift .

Luck seems to be helping me.....

Douglas, as a Hawthorn member of good standing it is a requirement to hate Carlton with a passion (followed closely by Collingwood)!

Ah-ha! So there is hope for you! Collingwood isn't the worst. :lol:

I knew we could win you over. :lol:

Re: The prize for Round 6, I think I see a bit of a pattern here. :lol:

AFAIK, nobody has picked GWS (and you don't have to - the prize goes to the winning margin, not who wins the match)

Margin 107
And margin Carlton by 89
Margin 101
Margin 114
Margin: 127
Margin 61 points
Margin 56 points
Carlton will beat GWS by 55 points
CARLTON to win by 74 points
Carlton ( 73 margin )
Margin 97 points
62
Carlton 87
37 points ("That's very Brave of you, Prime Minister")
Carlton (by 63 points)
Margin 79
Margin: 94
Margin: 86
Margin of 82
Margin: 71
Margin 53
Margin 42
Margin 112
Margin 78
Margin 100
Margin 133
Carlton (83)
Margin 88 points
Carlton by 49
79
Carlton's margin over GWS will be 91 points
The margin will be 54 points

I really will try to run some sort of Comp. on the First GWS v Gold Coast Match, and try to find an "outside the box" question for it. I do have a prize sitting right here which can be given away. It ought to be a lot of fun, if I can think up a decent way of doing it.

(I just did, so watch this space)

It is a bit like comparing Hitler and Stalin. Stalin was a right so-and-so but, during the second half of WWII at least, he was our so-and-so. Both were worth killing, but Hitler was just slightly more worth it.

Consider Carlton to be Hitler and Collingwood to be Stalin. :twisted:

Not the thread I figured I'd be reading about this in................however sports fans do lean towards passionate discussions that could dissolve quickly!

I still stand by my picks (even though I see I have fallen like a rock in the ladder) :roll:

I am guessing they will settle at about 50% wins, 50% losses based on the first ¼ of the season results.

For these second string teams in 2012, that is a pretty decent result really.

Although the way Hawthorn were totally bulldozed in the final quarter by the Swans might mean they end up with well less than 50% of wins as that shows they go to water, when the pressure is on.

When you see Fremantle and North Melbourne and Adelaide outperforming the alleged *Star* teams, we have had quite a sea change this year for sure. :mrgreen:

Fine by me. There has always been a rule here whereby later posts/predictions will supercede earlier posts. I have actually used it a couple of times. Only up until closing time of course.

The games have begun. Carlton has left 3 of it's top players out of this round. It isn't arrogance, apparently, oh no! the 3 of them have minor niggles that just need to be rested.

The missing players will be Judd, Waite and Kreuzer. The margin may be smaller than expected as a result.
