Has this been the hardest season to tip in a very long time? Sure feels like it.
I only have myself to blame for gambling on North Melbourne and Sydney, but that doesn’t ease the sting of copping yet another five last weekend.
Dem Panopoulos scored himself six and Liam Salter was very impressive with seven. You can check out the leaderboard at the bottom of the article because I sure as hell ain’t talking about it.

As a Collingwood supporter I’d like to see Port wearing their traditional prison bar footy jumper. Not just for heritage round but for every round – and for ever more.
Why shouldn’t every round be a heritage round? How can, and why should, any club disregard or disrespect their heritage?
Disrespecting doesn’t mean we don’t have the gonads to confront, challenge and change aspects of our heritage that need it.

I’ve decided that it’s too risky to make predictions only about the margin of victory for a particular team, possibly the most veiled of all outcomes to forecast.
So in the interest of increasing my odds of success for each game, I will also be presenting ‘safe predictions’ for the games as well.
Mind you, the forecasts we’ve been making have been fairly safe already. With seven more correct last weekend we’ve now picked 47 winners out of 72 for the year, and the ELO-Following Football rating system is a more impressive 51 of 72 on its own after I made some rather unsafe overrides of the system early in the season.
