The Grand Final Report
Now lets get something sorted... I don't want to paint a picture of ALL Hawks supporters as arrogant, or thinking they had this in the bag or anything... although they are... but this advert in the Sunday paper down in Melbourne may indicate they thought they were pretty safe...
It was a ripper of a game - it's well documented the game ebbed n flowed. Twenty into the first quarter it looked like the hawks were kicking themselves out of it. Then they exploded and we all thought by how much? All of a sudden you could actually hear cheers of Hawks over the knocking of their fearful lil knees. Second quarter and the Swans exploded. They couldn't miss. Dare I say even LRT looked handy. That KILLS me to say but he did. All of a sudden it was the Swans by how much. Third quarter had a bit of both - the Swans were out by 28 points at one stage but by the time we got the last change it was down to a point. The breeze clearly favoring the one end - the Swans had it in the final quarter. Up... down... gone... back... Hawks up by 12 - should have been 17... LRT taking good grabs... Mike Pike doing the do... Malceski!!!!!!
Victory to the Swans... not as good as a victory to the Crows but better than the Hawks.
Of course Micky Mouse is yet to say sorry for his pathetic commentary... hey Mick... remember this? 'the crows and swans are not top 4 teams'... never mind the Crows got within 5 points of the GF and the Swans won it... Still not sure who the top 4 should have been yet - if not crows and swans then clearly not Pies n Hawks either.
Maybe the Paps? Are they going to have a coach next year???
Thanks to everyone for being in the comp. Apologies for any issues with Footytips.com but they are of course out of my hands. I wasn't a fan of the bonus point for picking all in the finals... seemed a bit weird - but thats life :) I'm open to suggestions for next year.
If you would like your money... come get it!
Cheers - And Go You Mighty Crows!

Tippers: The Winners
Update Number 1! The most important for some... is that we have winners and we have money to be given!
The Winner was.... Well Pavsthaman came from behind much like the Swans to get a tie on the board at the top of the table - so he ties with long term leader IH8Crows! Well done to both tippers. Money goes to the Top Ten, which this year became a Top Twelve - positions 9 to 12 were tied on 156 so their returns are a bit diminished.
The table includes the money owed for the Streak Competition - the winner being Magyver - great effort getting 34 in a row.
More updates to follow but for now, congrats to the winners and if you want yer cash, send me your details... also if you think I have stuffed something up then let me know :)
