Footy Tipping Competition

Round 14 Winners

I said last week that Round 14 was going to be relatively straightforward and that turned out to be the case for most people.  We had 22 people who did very well picking six winners and a further 34 people who got five.  Of those that got six, Adrian Munro picked the exact margin in Brisbane’s win over St Kilda and as such is this week’s winner of the $50.  Congratulations Adrian!

 

With regard to the overall leaderboard Matt Sinclair (Class of 1983) is on 88, Santino Giancono sits second on 86 with Cherie Fry third on 85.

Round 15

Carlton v Geelong – 2nd v 6th

Both sides coming off the bye. Three of the last four games played between these sides at the MCG have been won by Geelong. Expect a close game;

 

Port Adelaide v Brisbane

Port has lost its last two games and Brisbane has won three of its last four games. These sides have played at the Adelaide Oval six times in the last ten years with Brisbane winning once in 2019. Is home ground advantage going to influence people?

 

GWS v Sydney – 5th v 1st

Battle of the Bridge with Sydney having won four of the last five clashes between these teams. It’s just hard not to pick Sydney every week at the moment;

 

Melbourne v North Melbourne

Melbourne has lost Christian Petracca for the season and might struggle to play finals this year.  North somehow managed to give up a 54-point lead but will still go into this game with some optimism;

 

Essendon v West Coast

Even though Essendon has lost its last two games it will go into this game full of confidence. It’s back to hoping the Eagles will be competitive; and

 

Fremantle v Gold Cost

Fremantle were extremely disappointing last week but are back at home against a side that hasn’t won away this season.

 

Adelaide, Collingwood, Hawthorn, Richmond, St Kilda and Western Bulldogs have the bye.

 

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
