Wow you have made it almost impossible to catch you with those picks
Ok, well I think Tigers will win easy but my only hope to win this comp is if they loose and I pick Melbourne and I get one exactly right (which I have not managed all year). I might as well finish 4th as second so my picks are

Hi Fluff,
the one thing that I wanted to do during the last 8 weeks or so was try and make sure that I put in my tips early in the week and I want to explain why. People told me that what I should do was leave my tips late and make sure that I copy the picks of people behind me. I feel doing that would have been dishonest, by making my tips early, and often before selection of teams, I feel that I kept inside the spirit of this competition. I admit that when I saw the ladder at the end of last week, I understood that if I made sensible selections that YES I would probably win the comp, so yes I made what I believe to be logical decisions so as to give myself the best chance to win this year but I just want to reiterate, for the last 2 months I believe that I behaved impeccably in terms of the way I tipped. I did not copy other peoples tips - and that is something that would have guaranteed Victory 2 months ago.
At the moment I dont know the scores, hopefully they turn out well for me, coz I DO WANNA WIN THIS THIS YEAR ;D but lets be honest, you did us over in fantasy league and you defeated 10 flags in Supercoach, youve done pretty well Fluff.
Anyway heres hoping for a Richmond win and a good season finish tomorrow

I know you have been up front with picks and I have never before based my picks around yours, to be honest I know there was no hope of catching you and it was more done as a joke. The Tigers will smash Melbourne and I will be happy as I am comming down for the game. Oh and you got the Gellong magrin too, well done. You deserve the win and it looks like I will get a heap of very close but no cigars this season. Thats Ok as I can see light at the end of the tunel for the Tigers and thats all that realy matters.
Well done Ramps
