Sizzling Sam Peaks Perfectly to Capture Crown

The 2015 Uglybustards Premiership Cup proudly brought to you by Huru Sports, look good play better.

Presented to Sam Griggs

Sam Snares Second Title - past winners

The Hawks may have got their 3-peat but it was Sam Griggs who got his 2nd Uglybustards Champeenship on the first Saturday in October. He joins an elite group of Uglybustards dual titleholders that consists of Arnold Layne (2000, 2010), Denis Lashmar (2005, 2008) and Sam (2013, 2015).

Minor Premiership to Sam Griggs

2013 Uglybustards Champeen Sam Griggs has edged out the Ox for the 2015 minor premiership. With yet another high number of upsets on the round 23 weekend, the Ox's final Joker didn't pay off and Sam scored well to take a 4 point lead into the finals.

Margin Mayhem as Hungry Hawks Blast Barkers Blues into Oblivion

Docklands delivered a debacle for AFL Friday night footy with records rewritten and Barker's faint coaching hopes blasted to high heaven by the hungry Hawks who belted the bewildered Blues to the back end of Borneo.

This created havoc in the Margin comp with major changes in the ladder, while in the Joker and Standard Season Ladders it looks like we could be in for a cliffhanger with 6 rounds and finals to go.

In other late breaking news, prizes are finalised along with the Paid Up Prize Pool entries for 2015, instructions on how to play your Joker have been published on the Uglybustards site and the Wadsman is expected to have arrived in Vietnam.

Read on for this and more in the Round 17 Ugly Bustards Footy Tipping results...

Playing Your Joker

Instructions on how to play your joker.

It's become apparent that not all Uglybustards tipsters realise that we can play a Joker 5 weeks a season.

It got me wondering if everyone realises all the prizes are attached to the "Sam Griggs Joker Ladder".

The Joker Ladder was launched in February 2014 to bring endless excitement to a BIGGER BOLDER BETTER Uglybustards tipping season due to Sam Griggs streeting the field after 6 rounds in 2013.

So just to make it very clear to one and all, I've put together some instructions on how to play your joker when you put your tips in on www.footytips.com.au.

Paltry Prize Pool Jeopardises Jackpot

For the first time in Uglybustards history we may not have a jackpot. More on that later, along with a callout to Tax Dodgers.

Never mind its 20 years too late, the (once) mighty Blues finally look to be re-shaping a treat with Juddy out the door straight after Malt, and his love child Daisy following with a buggered shoulder.  With Ange Postecoglou on the Coach Selection Committee we could see a Ned Zelic comeback any time soon.  Meanwhile the Horse Longmire is so spoilt he throws the toys outa the cot when five goals up and isn't it criminal that drug cheat Crowley remains eligible for the 2015 Grand Final!

Zenben Jags Jackpot

Where did the first 9 rounds of the season go? Zenben's cleaned up all the jackpot $, we've had one coach sacking (onya Malt) and the Ugly Bustards Footy Tipping Joker Ladder is as topsy turvy as the never-ending Essendon drugs saga. WADA are appealing not only the Dons players result but now Stephen Dank's 21 charges he got off on as well. But more on that at the end of this week's report. Read on for the tipping results...

Electrifying Elmo, Yaz Connects, Scoop of the Year!

Elmo along with Zenben and Funnybustard had an electrifying round 3 and not just cos theyre all in NSW  and channelled the #sydneyStorm. These 3 Ugybustards Tipsters used their first Joker of the season to full advantage last weekend to score the maximum 23 points for picking the card. Well done (you bustards).

Elmo takes the ladder lead after round 3 and says he's determined to keep it til the GF...
