The Backpocket Champion's Honour Roll

Our 2012 Champion Peter has requested that we revisit the past Champions who have found themselves on top in the Backpocket at season's end. The Mistress has therefore put together a list of all past winners and runners up, from the competition's inaugural year in 2006 to the present season.

From 2006 to 2009, we explored various forms of tipping and winning, usually incorporating the four weeks of finals. Tipping was entered and calculated within the extraordinary Excel spreadsheets of Tony from J@TS, known back then as the Statswally. Some years we had Minor Premier, Runner Up and a Finals Prize; some years we crowned the winner at the end of the finals with a small token for the Minor Premiers.

2006
WINNER Mark Swivel
RUNNERS UP Miro and Anna (Mum was in the team back then) tied with Gai and David

2007
WINNER Miro and Anna
RUNNER UP Gai and David

2008
WINNER Peter
RUNNER UP Miro and Anna
MINOR PREMIERS Gai and David

2009
WINNER Sharolyn (on percentage only!)
RUNNER UP Catherine Taylor (not a footy fan, never before a tipster and very much a one year wonder)

From 2010, we moved to the AFL.com site, crowning only Minor Premiers and Runners Up.

2010
WINNERS Mark Swivel and Paul Lum (tied on points and margin!!)
RUNNER UP Omar (by 1 point, he'd like it to be known)

2011
WINNER Lyndon
RUNNER UP Tony and Joseph J@TS

2012
WINNER Peter
RUNNER UP Shaar
