In an embarassing competition Leon Harris has stamped himself as the guru and seer of AFL for 2009. Allocating 10 points for nominating the premiers, 8 for the wooden spooners, 10 for the Brownlow winner with 9 for second etc., 7 for each team correctly nominated as finishing in the eight with 2 points/team if nominated in correct position. A possible total of 100. Bonus points (2/team) were allocated if final eight team game points were correctly listed.
Leon took all before him in scoring 79. Whatever he is smoking get some for 2010. He had the premiers, spooners and Brownlow and locked in 7 of the eight missing only on the Bombers (noone tipped them, not even Mick Williams!)
Stan Rose maintained some integrity gained in the season game tipping competition by finishing a close second on 75. Mick Williams repeated lst year's effort when he tied with Spider in third spot on 72 but Spider wins that on a countback with extra points allocated for his change room entry after the GF at the G.
John Kufflic, who finished the game tipping well up proved to be the imposter finishing a lowly equal seventh with Wilko on 68. And last year's Eight08 winner, Barney, showed his true colours with a score of 60. Must have some pages stuck together.
Maggie Trewavas embarassed her better half 64 to 33 while Spackers and his wife strangely scored 53 apiece. It appears that two participants, Cathy Hawking and Rick Trewavas, may have over intellectualised the activity by including the bloods, and were the only two experts who scored notional failures with 49 and 33 respectively. Interestingly the only non-expert in the field, Macca, also failed (49) and also had the bloods in the final eight.
We will not mention the senior coach score of 61 nor the CDM's 61. For all the scores see the "Eight09 result" attachment below
