Saw that in the article too but I'm buggered if I can find it now :(

Lions and Swans weren't as high in that one though I do recall.

I could say the same back at you :p But no, it's not exactly going to plan is it?

But in their defence:

Glad it wasn't just me then.

I got 4 (big fat zero for Sunday's games). I got 6 in the comp on the AFL site.

errm, no, i expected us to be trounced, (but let my heart rule my head as ever!!:mad: ) but getting slapped by Hawthorn is bad. Very bad :p

PS you're not bottom You're 15th, one below me. The funny thing is i did Leahs (my girls) in 2 seconds cos i realised she was gonna miss out and she did better than me!!

I still don't get how it all works though cos the leader (well done whoever she is!!) is on 16, 87, 2 and i'm on 17, 88, 9 and i'm 15th!! WTF going on, please someone explain it in idiot language then i might just get it
:o :D

*mental note to self, do not tip my own team EVER cos they are indeed quite shite*

I am now 3/4 of the way up the leaderboard but also cannot understand all this margin bizo.

I believe that the margin is the difference between the amount you enter for your prediction on the friday night game and the actual winning margin for the game itself. e.g. The (great team of) North Melbourne beat Collingwood on Friday night by three points. If you had tipped NM to win by ten points you would be seven out so therefore would have a margin of seven for that round.

I think this is correct from what I gather from reading the tipping site, I'm sure that Bordy or Brian will be able to advise the correct reason if the above is not right...

Yeah thats how I see it & if you were 10 points out on each of the 4 rounds your cumulitive margin would be 40 points.

So if two or three people have the same grand total of winners, the one with the least cumulitive points will be on top.

Hevs your looking at round 4 where you are 14th, if you click on leaderboard it shows you are 4th overall.

And yes Wayne is still where Essendon is in the table. :)
