Budenan tips 8 in the final round (massive effort) and wins the tipping comp on the tiebreak of margin tipped.

Congradulations that's the second year in a row I've been runner up in a weather tipping comp. Last year it was to Mr G, can't remember if it was here or on WZ?

Ah well I'll just have to try again next year, should have known north would win when the game didn't matter.

If I had of tipped against my blue boys I would have won! But instead come second as well.

Well done to budenan tho (whoever that is on here???) Done well to pinch the victory with 8 in the last round.

Thanks everyone, Budenan yeah that's me Dane from Cranbourne.
A bit of a desperate bid in the last round to try and catch up and it paid off.
For most of the year I was around 4th or 5th and only hit the front in the last round.
However I checked Jake's original post when he set up the Competition and according to that the tipping goes right through to the Grand Final - so if thats correct its not over yet!!
We may need some clarification from him but it looks like its still on UNFORTUNATLY.

Hey guys!! Yes very sorry for not indicating this again, I have been very busy with yr 12, getting so close to end of year exams. Everyone MUST continue tipping through until the grand final, so it is not over yet. Well it is for me, since I'm doing so bad, but please continue tipping!!

Oh man. I'm only two points off the lead - the worst thing is, for some reason I gave up on round 16 and 17. Got a little bit bored of it all and just didn't tip! :cry: Those two rounds I only scored 2 and 5. Never been much of a footy tipper (was the reason) so I think finishing in the top eight (unlike my team the tigers) will only serve to strengthen my resolve for next year!

I would offer my congrats to Budenan, but from the looks of what Jake said we're still going. Will be great to see who comes out on top. Happy tipping to all! :D

Rule 1 of doing well in a tipping comp DC - Always tip with your head, not your heart.

I'm conflicted, If i tip what I expect to happen I cant win the tipping comp as I'm pretty sure Dane will tip the same way. So I have to tip 1 different to him (or 2 as he has a better margin). Do I go with the upset this week or next?

I want to tip the Hawks, after all I barrack for them, I just think the Pies are more likely to win. Ah stuff it, go for glory, will tip the Hawks and hope for a miracle.

You never know BB! I think it is going to be pretty close for a lot of the night and given the conditions, it might be free flowing.

Hoping for a nice high scoring classic!!!

BIg stuff up by me, forgot to put my tips in before the start of the Pies V Hawks game. Only remembered at half time.
I would have picked the pies who in the end were pretty lucky to win. So I only got 1 and that leaves me just ahead of two others.
I think next weeks game is a toss up so it just depends if I pick right, If I pick wrongly next week I wont win. :x

Welll done Budenan! You are the 2011 AWF tipping comp winner!! Beating me on margin!

If only I hadn't have tipped Carlton against West Coast...I would have won the whole thing. But, I went out on a limp to try and get a leg up...in the end, it didnt work out.

Well done, mate!

PS: If you want to cut the weather station in half...I'm keen!!
