5th - Mighty Mighty's

My Hero!  Damn what a handsome dude - it's like looking in a mirror although his hair isn't the jet black that covers my bonnet.

They say NAB Cup form means nothing coming into the real season but that is just a line trotted out by teams that lose.  Winning form is good form.  The Mighty Mighty's have had 2 seasons in the crapper, not helped by injuries to  some key players and not enough mullets.  But this year the Crows are chockas full of the good stuff.  Walker has switched to the heavy beers, Vince has bought some fully reversible shorts,  Porps has has some extra rubber bands attached to his shoulder, and we've brought back another ex-Sturt player to lead the club in Sando.  What can go wrong?

But thats not all.  The Crows play GWS twice.  They play the Suns twice.  And they play Port twice.  Not only that but the Mighty's play the Suns in round 1, then 3 of the next 4 at home.  Yes.... for once the Mighty's have a decent draw.  Not as good as the Pies seem to get every year but reasonable nonetheless...

In short - you can pencil the Crows in for a top 8 and knocking on the door of the 4... GO YOU GOOD THING!

Side Competition - The Longest Streak Comp
Tis called the Winning Streak comp. You need to sign up for the 'Longest Streak Comp'. This has nothing to do with Bernie Vince.

Each week click on the 'streak' tab in your tipping, and choose between 0 and 9 teams that you think are dead certainties to win. Every tip that is correct adds one to your streak. If you get it wrong then your streak is over and it starts again.

At the end of the season the Top 3 will get some $ to be determined depending on numbers entered overall.
