A new tipping strategy

I've decided that until I can balance my tipping out to an average of at least fifty per cent, I will mostly tip the home teams.

Last week I was placed 3637th out of 3708. Yes, don't all congratulate me at once.

So here are my not-so-expert tips for round two.

Brisbane, Bulldogs, Adelaide, Saints, Freo, Sydney, Geelong, Richmond. As you can see, the only away side is the Western Bulldogs (who define 'away' differently to this West Aussie anyway) but is it any wonder?

Anyway, this week it's the Dockers' turn. And I think I might go to the game, so they'd better put on a damn good show for me. My post-match write-up will have such an impact on their next home game attendance that they won't want to screw it up.

I noticed that this post-Easter edition of the Record they seem to be going for a Resurrection Special-style. It features Fraser Gehrig on the cover......doing a fair impersonation of Jesus and altogether looking more respectable than the Fraser we all knew and found rather creepy.
This photo does no justice to that mullet, and the general festiness of Fraser Gehrig of yesteryear. Still, it's all that I could find. I suppose the St Kilda PR people trawled the world wide web to remove all the festy photos. And rightly so, small children can access the internet.
