Today is a sweet day for all AFL fans. The pre-season comp starts tonight. I know that for many purists, the pre-season is a big fat waste of time, with crazy new rule trials and teams that are choc-full of reserve players. I agree to an extent, but I’m just looking forward to seeing some form of the game on our nice new big TV. The cricket was fantastic on it, I’m sure the footy will be just as good.
We are having a tipping comp at work for the pre-season. Here are my tips for this week:
- Adelaide to beat Port
- Collingwood to beat North
- St Kilda to beat Brisbane
- Geelong to beat Richmond
- Sydney to beat Western Bulldogs
- Essendon to beat the Carlton
- Melbourne to beat the Hawthorn
- West Coast to beat Freo
Wish me luck.
Just as a follow up: I got only one winner from these tips. Woeful!
The weekend just gone (Rnd 2 of the NAB Cup) I got 2 out of 4. A bit more respectable but still nothing special.
With a bit of luck I’ll do better in the season propper.
