Round 16 Tipsters' News, 2009


Thanks to the draw between North and Richmond, no-one tipped all eight winners over the weekend so the prize pool jackpots to $780 next week. Tip now to avoid disappointment.

According to the tipping ratio statistics there were two major upsets: Hawthorn (21.9%) defeated Collingwood by 7 goals. Of course the draw put paid to anyone tipping 8 as no-one tipped the draw.

Meanwhile at the top of the Tipsters' Table Peter Hawting retains a slender one point lead over the pack after tipping a solid 6, now with an aggregate score of 97.

Equal second/fourth are

  • Jane Bentley (Financial Operations, 258 Queensberry St),
  • Marian Ross (Monash University), and,
  • Eddie Ross (Monash University).

    Equal fifth/eighth and two points behind on 94 is a group of four:

  • Chris Bowden (c/o Baillieu),
  • Daryl Hepburn (SSP),
  • Jessie Lau (Architecture), and
  • Garry Watt (Monash).

    David Ross dropped out of the money while Jane, with her big 7, moved up a place. Commiserations to all those who tipped 7.

    The average score for the round was a 5.29, up 0.80 from last week. The RAT (Random Tipper) tipped 4 and twenty one people (8%) didn't tip.

    Tips close at 7 pm Friday.

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




    Good luck,

    Ben Warden
