Round 19: Cat-Astrophe

The round started off terribly for tipsters with Carlton beating the Cats, it set the tone for a poor performance overall, averaging under four for the round. The proud WA fans got a guaranteed three from the two hometown teams and Brisbane's after the siren score to draw the game.

This week's highest score of 7 by Patrick & Amelia Vickers was infact 8 coin tosses so we should all be ashamed of being outsmarted by an inanimate object. Lisa McCallum has kept her lead of one over Shane Watson in a two horse race for the win, Paul Hinkley, Ryan Strickland, Team Kozak, Rosie McCallum, Steve Duncan, Team Nowak and myself are in a battle royale for the third spot.

In keeping with tradition of this tipping competition this is the final weekly score update, the last three rounds will remain a mystery until the winners are declared post round 22. Kylie Jones has almost certainly locked in the spoon and is praying for no further round winners so she can scoop the remaining pool.

NEXT WEEK'S CLUTCH GAMES: Lions Vs Bulldogs @ Gabba, Lions need to keep their top 4 hunt alive, Bulldogs need to get back some form after losing to WC and get back their 3rd spot. Expect some punishing football here. Port Vs Blues @ AAMI, Port were disgraceful and shouldn't be a top eight side after last weekend, Blues took out the Cats and should do the same again here. Melbourne Vs Freo ; will we get a crowd under 10K, Melbourne to tank this all the way home.
