It's not my slippage to 7 that has delayed the results from Round 8. No. 7 is a fine number this week, with Lenny Hayes celebrating 250 games. Will the Swans get up for quiet warrior Mattner's 200th the same way the Saints will fight for spiritual leader Lenny's 250th?
But, back to tipping ... and slipping. 4 tipsters recorded a score of 1 this week and suffered dramatic slides. Were these genuine errors on your parts, or do you feel as if you were robbed by some technical voodoo? One esteemed tipster questioned the score of 1 itself - how did one tip get through? If you forget to tip, or do not submit your tips for the round, you will be given all away teams (with a maximum of 5 points). Last week, only one away team, the Crows, were victorious and hence the score of 1.
On the other side of the ledger, there were some spectacular rises. Sally and Syd made it onto Page 1 with scores of 8. And Mark rocketed to 2 with the round topping score of 8 margin 0! And now he too has gone to the UK on Wednesday ... which means 1 and 2 are tipping from Britain. (Do you think Patrick has noticed that he took my number one rank the very week he took off to his two storey Birmingham bachelor pad and left me to two months of single motherhood?) Significant moves also from Melissa, Nigel, Lucas and John. And it may just be a Backpocket first: in his seventh year, I do believe it is the very first time that Richd'mond has entered the Top10. Can he go once better than his beloved Tiges and make it into the Top 8?
