Round 12 of the season! Halfway there already!! I forgot there was a Thursday night game, so we're not on the first match of the round this week...



Those that played last week can skip ahead and put their tip in. For newcomers, read on!



How does it work? Endorse this article for $10 to buy in for the round. Post your tipped winner and margin in the comments. Correct tip and closest margin will take all, plus $10 for mine (since I can't endorse my own article). Obviously, no double ups on margins and tips though bracketing around someone is both funny and accepted. First come - first served.



Tips will be taken until bounce down. We're back in the City of Rain at 'G, for the first AFL game after the state of origin pollution...





In plain language: Richmond v West Coast Eagles at the MCG.



Don't understand the game? This is an Aussie winter pastime. If you ask me, it involves men in shorts shorter than the Village People ever wore and muscle shirts giving each other hugs for tackles. And trying to kick goals. Every goal is worth 6 points, but if you miss by a little bit you still get 1 point. So, the score will end up being something like 6.10 (46), which means 6 goals and 10 misses which adds up to 46 points in total.


This week's tip: Richmond haven't looked back since their surprise win over Fremantle a few weeks back. It's never easy to play 3000 km away in an away match for poor ole WCE, though they're having a strong season after a few shockers...
