FYI – Australia’s most annoyed baby has arrived. Of course it was born annoyed. Keith Urban sang Country and Western to it in the womb for 9 months.

WEEKLY TIPPER LEADERBOARD POSITIONS

Weekly Tipper Leaderboard Position

Bondy, Guido Sanchez and Tony Hand combined, have spent more weeks at number 1 than Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson did when their hit song ‘To all the goals I’ve kicked before’, rocketed to the top of the Seniors Top 40 in 1984.

The leader in the Roger Federer Award is Bondy.

He’s been No 1 on 4 occasions.

Rafa is very upset!

WEEKLY WINNERS ARE GRINNERS:

2008 Weekly Winners

Round 14

1^st - SUPERBOOT

Superboot pulled on the Network Ops AFL copyrighted weekly winners yellow guernsey for the second time this season with a solid 6 in Round 14.

Still dirty on having to share the 1981 Brownlow with Barry Round, Superboot will do anything to win this comp outright. In fact, we don’t have ties, so he doesn’t have to worry.

But he will have to stop and regather his thoughts prior to round 16, as he dropped from 1^st to 7^th this week.

2^nd - PTB

It’s easy to see what happens when Melbourne get up for a win. PTB, otherwise known as Lynchy, and his young bloke Bones have stuck by the Dees when many supporter have deserted them. I’m glad for PTB and Bones that the Dees will get this year’s No 1 Draft pick, which I’m certain they will invest wisely. Hopefully I can negotiate a 3 way deal that will see Anthony Pebbles go to Melbourne, who will give the No 1 pick to the Lions, for Jonathan Brown to the Magpies.

Sounds like a fair deal to me.

3^rd – Bones

Like father like son. It’s good to see youngsters respect their elders isn’t it! By letting his old man beat him to 2nd place this round, Bones has guaranteed himself a year’s supply of whatever the hell he wants! Just don’t ask for an iPhone just yet Bones. At least wait till they double in price just before Christmas!

Round 15

1^st - Janus

Hmmm. Another two time winner.

Someone’s sister will be very popular!

It’s a well known fact that Janus doesn’t submit her own tips, and prefers her sister to submit them for her. Even though flatmate The Choker offers his services each week!

Maybe Janus’s sister could tip for the Choker as well? Hell, she can even tip for me. The way I’ve been tipping recently it would be far less stressful letting someone else do the worrying. I mean I can’t even sleep properly now, right through Friday night till Monday morning. It’s not healthy.

2^nd – Bomber Girl

While Bomber girl practices her non-precision approaches in Arnhem Land...... back in Clayfield, the Fev practices his repertoire of witty comebacks that will be needed when his Blue boys are overtaken on the ladder by those suddenly flying high Bombers. The Bombers return to form makes them the third best team in the last 5 weeks. They’ll start tanking soon though so they can get some good draft picks.

3^rd – Fevolution

It was a Fev sandwich in girl bread this week up the top of the ladder. Fev was the only boy in the top 5!

How about that ladies!!!

The real Fev must feel the same way each Thursday night the team is read out after training by Rats. A boy all on his lonesome surrounded by girls.

Ever since Lance left, the Blues have lost that ‘manly’ edge.

In my view, a team must actually be able to get through all the pies on pie night to be considered a team of men. The Blues haven’t even come close since the departure of Jerry Springer’s favourite son Lance.

THE NETWORK OPS AFL LEADERBOARD

2008 Tipping ladder

Guido Sanchez only relinquished the no 1 spot for a week. This week he’s back where he thinks he belongs. Crikey these Hawks fans are cocky aren’t they!

Let’s see how cocky they are when Buddy signs with the Pies. Wow how good would that be?

Bucks getting the ball out of the centre and drilling a 65mtr stab pass down Buddy’s throat.

Oh that’s right. Forgot about the man’s ‘retirement’ again. I dream about Bucks all the time in the hope that one day the famous No 5 will run out onto the ground for the Magpies and it won’t be wearing a stupid little chin moustache like it has been this year.

Go Cats, Bondy, Tony Hand and Fevolution round out the top 5.

Now that the money’s been counted, and the bookies have been pacified, I can ‘officially’ declare the prizes for this seasons comp.

It’s big money this year, so pull your collective fingers out and start studying the form guide. If you’re tipping poorly, then start studying a different type of form guide! Bluey already has.
