The games for the opening round are:

 

Sydney v Melbourne

Melbourne has won its last two games against Sydney at the SCG.  

Melbourne looked pretty good v Carlton, Sydney has a few midfielders missing.  

A tough game to pick to start the season;

 

Brisbane v Carlton

Only the most one-eyed Carlton supporters will pick the Blues in this one.  Carlton hasn’t beaten Brisbane at the Gabba since 2013;

 

Gold Coast v Richmond

Damian Hardwick goes up against his former club.  Gold Coast are more difficult to beat at home; and

 

GWS v Collingwood

Game of the round.  Do you pick the reigning premiers or the team with home-ground advantage and only lost in the preliminary final (to Collingwood) by one point?

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
