AFL upsets are easier for tipsters, because most of the time they’re upsets, not random acts of inconsistency.
I was happy to see Brisbane win even thought I didn’t tip them because I’m a Lion’s fan, and because no one else, not even their mothers, probably tipped them.
And my comment about the eight being settled didn’t account for both Geelong and Hawthorn tanking. But I still think North Melbourne is the only other side capable of staying in there.
NRL, on the other hand… If they were racehorses the stewards would never sleep.
AFL has one bye due to the two teams who played China last week. This is the start of the mid-season havoc which are the bye rounds in both codes.
