The Bombers gave the Blues a right old touch up in the biggest upset of the round. Even Hirdy was quoted as saying no-one in Australia would've tipped them. Well done to our Madnurse who must have been the only tipster in Australia to get it right. The Bombers have done a magnificent job of keeping a low profile this season, even Ratten called them out for flying under the radar before last week's game.
The rivalry between the Blues and the Bombers is such that the underdog always seems to come through. Who can forget the 1999 preliminary final? You may have got us this time Bombers fans, but remember that revenge is a Broo Beer best served cold.
Essendon could sit 5-zip after tomorrow's Anzac Day clash with the Magpies, with both teams barely having time enough to clean the mud off their footy boots. Let's hope its another bruising encounter, and the Pies and the Bombers have to field reserves teams the following weeks.
Other highlights were Browny's 500th, the Chad's chest (or was that a lowlight), Izzy's goal, and Cyril being Cyril.
Righto Johnny that's enough banter, roll the tape for round 4...
In the Tipping comp, incumbent leader Zenben holds on again this week, but only by one point. Hot on his heels are Longee and Craig Nettlebeck. 4th is a mad scramble between all 3 of the Griggs clan - billycat, Sam and Griggsy - with Madnurse tied with the lot of them. We have a wide open comp at this early stage with just 4 points separating 1st from 19th.
The Margin comp sees some big movers this week, with Pete Connor and Uglybustard jumping the queue into the minor placings, with Pete a mere 8 points behind Zenben. Tomorrow's Anzac Day clash could go either way and see these three go from chocolates to boiled lollies.
More details on the Tipping Ladder page.
We have a new leader in the Trivia comp! Rotten Ronnie Andrews hits 74/100 after 10 rounds, surpassing Uglybustard on 69/90. #Car17on 19/30 and gonadbreath 14/20 are filling the minor placings. I wouldve thought Rotten Ronnie would've been severely brain damaged after his footy career. Not sure how he keeps all this trivia in his head.
