Round 14 Tipsters' News, 2009


Congratulations to

  • Callan Fox (son of Steven Fox, c/o Finance)
  • Jarrod Fisher (Student Admin)
  • Ben Healy (Information Technology Services, 258 Queensberry St)
  • Vanessa Veneziano (Finance) who tipped all eight winners over the weekend. They win $135 each, payble on Wednesday, once the tribunal has given the all clear. Send me your bank details to faciltate a transfer. Note: Melb Uni Credit Union has changed its account numbers; any account number will start with 1430xxxx.

    Next week the prize returns to $260.

    According to the tipping ratio statistics there were three major upsets: Melbourne (38.3%) defeated West Coast in Perth for Jimmy; Port Adelaide (33.6%) defeated Brisbane in Adelaide and St Kilda (33.6%) defeated Geelong by a goal in the blockbuster of the year in front of a record breaking 54,000 people at Etiad.

    Meanwhile at the top of the Tipsters' Table some of the top tipsters tipped poorly. Peter Hawting dropped a point atipping 5 but retains a slender one point lead over the pack with an aggregate score of 86. we are down to 4 people equal 2nd-5th on 85:

  • Jane Bentley (Financial Operations, 258 Queensberry St),
  • David Ross (Monash University),
  • Marian Ross (Monash University), and,
  • Eddie Ross (Monash University). I am sure they are all related.

    Rob Sturrock (Information Technology Services, 258 Q) and Ken Powell (external) have dropped into the murk.

    The average score for the round was a low 4.56, down 1.62 from last week. The RAT (Random Tipper) tipped 2, having tipped 6,2,6, and 2 for the last 4 weeks. Twenty one people (7%) didn't tip. School holidays ...

    Tips close at 7 pm Friday.

    Tip now to avoid disappointment. You can tip for the whole season - and then change your tips weekly - to be sure.




    Good luck,

    Ben Warden
