Welcome back Graeme. The default after Round 1 is 4.7 = 5. So, you got off to a pretty good start without even knowing it.

Let's start a "We hate Collingwood" thread! It would be the most popular thread of all time!

I have only one lifetime, so I could not explain it, but examples are;
Aussies unite to support our cricketers against the Poms to fight for the Ashes, and to detest Collingwood supporters. 8)
The Club President has requested a change to their uniform, for this year. He wants them to wear their dentures and shoes (with socks), and to walk to the matches rather than arriving via the trees.

Collingwood supporters define "safe sex" as moving into the bus shelter and out of the rain,
and it goes on,

and on,

and on

and on.

regards to supporters of all other teams.

PhilipS · Post by **PhilipS** » 02 Apr 2009 18:31

Collingwood supporters are like computers: information has to be punched into them.

Unfortunately, that seems to be true...I lost every pick since I started asking....

I was quite pleased with that - and then I noticed you picked more than I did.

Back to the drawing board.

And how is it so far??

The first of this years "spot" prizes is on offer this week. a few strippers, I mean VFU strips of Australasian stamps, as illustrated It will go to the first person who picks all 8 winners. Note I cannot win this, 'cause I am the one giving it away. In the event of a tie, the earliest post shall be the winner. If it's not won this week, it will be re-offered later in the season.

Also, this prize is also only on offer to members who are already in the tipping competition - anyone who joins this week is not eligable to win the prize. New joiners WILL be eligable for future prizes offered.

Late tippers (after 6:00PM Thursday) will also not be eligible.
