AussieRulesBlog has officially contributed to charity with our entries to footy tipping! With six games done and dusted for round one, we have picked just two winners — and one of those was (apparently) an upset.
Still, from a generalist football perspective, wins for the Bulldogs (most emphatically) and the Suns (in the battle of the last quarter cripples) were “good for football”. The Suns showed a resilience that many — not ARB, we hasten to add — had suspected would remain absent for years. We hope the players learn the song properly as some were still glancing to the walls for the words!
The Lions would be the biggest loser so far, their sparkling pre-season form having deserted them yesterday at Docklands to the tune of an eleven-goal loss. It’s not an insurmountable hurdle, but it would seem their minds weren’t switched on to the task. The Bulldogs will take enormous confidence and heart from a game that they owned from the first bounce.
For the rest of the Easter weekend, we’ve put the Kiss of Death on Port to overcome the Demons, the Barcodes to deal with a resurgent Kangaroos and the Cats to maintain their mental dominance over the Hawks.
Next weekend, things return to normal, with nine games across the weekend and we can settle down to too much footy! We can’t wait!
