    who tipped all eight winners over the weekend. They win $37.14 each, payable on Wednesday, once the tribunal gives the all-clear. Please supply your bank details.

    So the prize pool remains at $260.

    According to the tipping ratio statistics there were two major upsets: Port Adelaide (30.8%) defeated Hawthorn and West Coast (31.3%) defeated a depleted Essendon in WA.

    It was a round of thrilling games which saw Geelong scrape home by 2 points against Adelaide, St Kilda by a solitary point against Sydney and Richmond defeated Melbourne by 4 with a goal after the final siren. The tip four sides all won, but Hawthorn, Essendon and Sydney are all but gone.

    Jonathon Brown (Brisbane) bagged another 5 goals in a losing side total of 8 goals.

    Meanwhile at the top of the Tipsters' Table we have a four way tie for equal first to fourth place. The leaders are:

  • Jane Bentley (2)(Financial Operations, L2 258 Q)
  • Peter Hawting (external)
  • Eddie Ross (Monash)
  • Marian Ross (Monash)
    They have aggregate scores of 109.

    Three points behind on 106 are another five tippers, equal 5th to 9th. They are:

  • Chris Bowden (c/o Baillieu)
  • Daryl Hepburn (L2, 258 Q, ITS)
  • David Ross (Monash Maths)
  • Jack Ryan (Red Wing?)
  • Garry Watt (Monash)

    The average score for the round was a high 5.68, up 0.64 from last week. The RAT (Random Tipper) tipped 5 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. Tip now to avoid disappointment.




    Good luck,

    Ben Warden
