Mazenod Old Boys

Footy Tipping Competition

Round 8 Winners

As predicted Round 8 proved to be challenging with one big upset and several close games. We had one person pick eight winners with a further eight people picking seven winners. Daniel Brescacin (Class of 2008) picked eight winners and as such is this week’s winner of the $50. Congratulations Daniel!

With regard to the overall leaderboard, Cherie Fry is still leading on 55, Matt Sinclair (Class of 1983) is second on 54 and there are four people on 52.

Round 9

There are a number of difficult games to pick in Round 9 with the fun starting Thursday night.

Carlton v Melbourne

Carlton has lost three of its last four games and yet they are playing pretty good footy. This should be another close game;

Geelong v Port Adelaide

This game is being played down in Geelong and Port will be down a couple more players;

Fremantle v Sydney

Can Freo beat the top-of-the-table Swans? I don’t know, but I think it will be close;

Hawthorn v St Kilda

This game is being played in Tasmania which certainly improves Hawthorn’s chances of recording back-to-back wins;

Essendon v GWS

Essendon’s last three games have been decided by a total margin of nine points and you would imagine this will be another close one. Keep an eye on the GWS ins and outs before deciding which way to go on this one;

Richmond v Western Bulldogs

Richmond is in for a long year and the Bulldogs are probably the most underwhelming team of the season so far;

Gold Coast v North Melbourne

This game is being played in the Northern Territory so while Gold Coast’s home-ground advantage has been removed, you would still expect them to win;

Collingwood v West Coast

The Eagles have been competitive of late, almost impossible to pick them in this one; 

Adelaide v Brisbane

12th v 13th

Brisbane has won two of the last three games played between these sides at the Adelaide Oval. Which side will step up to match pre-season expectations?

Finally, thanks again to all those people who have paid their entry fee ($50), for those yet to do so, details are provided below. 

It really would make my life much easier if those people who haven’t paid could do so ASAP so I don’t have to chase people up. There are now only six people who have yet to pay, you know who you are.😊

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
