Footy Tipping Competition

Round 10 Winners

Round 10 proved to be another fascinating round of football with upsets at the beginning and end of the round and several interesting games in between. Patrick Jebb (Class of 1982) was the only person who picked eight winners and as such is this week’s winner of the $50. Congratulations Pat! Twenty other people did very nicely and picked seven winners.

 

With regard to the overall leaderboard Matt Sinclair (Class of 1983) leads on 67, Cherie Fry is second on 66, Adam Disisto (Class of 2017) is in outright third on 65 and there are six people on 63.

Round 11

Western Bulldogs v Sydney

Sydney is four games clear of the Bulldogs, but you would still expect this to be close given the upsurge in the Bulldogs performances over the last two weeks;

 

Fremantle v Collingwood

A big Friday night game. Fremantle are yet to beat a team that is in the eight.  Collingwood has won two of the last three games played between these sides at Optus Stadium;

 

Carlton v Gold Coast

Gold Coast has won three of its last four games. Carlton has lost three of its last four games. Gold Coast has won two of the last three games played between these sides at Marvel Stadium and yet I imagine most people will tip Carlton;

 

North Melbourne v Port Adelaide

This match is being played in Tasmania which improves North’s chances but not enough to tip them;

 

Geelong v GWS

Both these sides have lost their last three games. Interestingly, GWS has won the last three games played between these sides at GMHBA Stadium;

 

Richmond v Essendon

Dreamtime at the G. One of the big nights on the AFL calendar. 2nd v 17th – Enjoy the pre-match build up as I can’t see this being much of a contest;

 

Hawthorn v Brisbane

As best as I can tell these sides have never played each other at Marvel Stadium. Both sides are in reasonable form;

 

Melbourne v St Kilda

St Kilda continue to struggle, and Melbourne suffered a shock loss to the West Coast, but I imagine most people tip them to bounce back here; and

 

Adelaide v West Coast

The last four games between these sides at the Adelaide Oval are evenly split. Despite West Coast’s great win on the weekend, it’s hard to tip anything other than an Adelaide win.

 

Please note that as we use the FootyTips website to host our competition we are compelled to adhere to the rules of that website. These rules are available on the website but a couple that are worth drawing to your attention are:

 

1: If you fail to enter any tips for the round you will be allocated all away teams but the maximum default score for the round will be capped at 5; and

 

2: If you don’t submit a tip (or a margin) for the nominated game of the week you will be allocated the away team and a margin of zero.

 

Good Luck and thanks for the support.

Mazenod Old Boys Committee

Dear Old Boy Dads,

 

The Old Boys committee is after Old Boys who would be interested in joining them. The committee meets about 5 times a year and involves assisting a couple of times a year with Old Boy events.

 

The MOB is run by a committee of volunteers. They meet regularly throughout the year to plan and run events, take part in community events, as well as approve bursaries or provide financial assistance to students and members.

 

The MOB is involved with supporting the school through things such as:

  • Sponsor Mazenod awards (Junior Sportsman Of The Year, Presentation Night awards, some subject awards).
  • Donate to school for equipment such as music or sporting programs.
  • Guest speakers. 
  • Provide Yr 12 BBQs.
  • Provide bursaries to students for extra-curricular activities.   
  • Old Boy Basketball, Hockey and Footy matches. 
  • MOB Golf Day.
  • MOB Footy tipping.

If you are interested or wish to come along to a meeting, please contact the MOB Liaison officer: logan.jeremy@mazenod.wa.edu.au
