AFL Results R9 - Goodsey the Great

There's been enough said about last Friday night's indigenous round about a 13 year old's racist comment with the media and social platform sites going berserk. For the record Twitter went crazy with tweets getting stuck right in. I tweeted to support the kid and copped more abuse than when I shoved @CowboySainter into a dog turd in the carpark after our clash in the early 80s. The flak I copped was as bad calling the Eagles and Adam Selwood the "Ducks"!! Well, almost. You can't keep an Eagles supporter quiet for long.

But I just wanna say Goodsey summed it up magnificently in his presser. Well done Goodsey. Send him a tweet @adamroy37 

On to the footy and more upsets than a rigged UFC tournament. Or maybe its just that I had another shocker, as the jackpot went off again. The Swans are back in form, the Pies are lookin dodgy, the Suns are rising fast, and the Crows come from the frickn clouds bootin the last 5 goals to snatch the un-snatchable with 16s on the clock!! Fair Dinkum Brad Scott must be on the pain-killers to numb his senses otherwise he'd be a ravin bloody lunatic by now, what wiv Norf goin' on holiday in time-on in the last korter every friggin week! And no ducking (typo?) Selwood this time.

Let's roll the tape for round 9. Kill the lights Stavros. And kill the volume too if you can't stand Bruce McAvaney creamin himself. Then continue on for the Uglybustards Tipping comp standings this week.

Uglybustards Tipping Comp...

Andy and Sam Griggs extend their joint lead to 3 points on the Tipping Ladder after round 9. Are we seeing an early break by the leaders?

Experienced 2-time winner and inaugural Uglybustards Champ Arnold Layne might have a thing or two to say about that, steadily climbing up the ladder to 3rd spot. Level with him on points but a couple of goals down in margin is yet another of the famous Griggs clan, Billycat, in 4th, who have all but quit their jobs to make a living off me.

However the big mover this week was Quokka up 10 spots from 15th to 5th with 8/9 for the round.

The ladder has bunched up with only 4 points separating 1st from 12th, and 5th to 12th all on the same score. Still a lot of tipsters in it for the 2013 title.

In the Margin comp we have DrBB just maintaining her lead by 3 points after she tipped the Pies last week and the Swans slaughtered em. Cos of this there's been a bit of a shake up with The Lace climbing from 4th to 2nd and #Car17on dropping from 2nd to 4th, while Elmo remains 3rd. But the big mover in the Margin comp was gonadbreath up from 11th to 5th and just 14 points off the lead, which is nothing in modern footy margin tipping.

More details on the Tipping Ladder page if you scroll down to the Margin ladder.

Happy to say I've streeted Griggsy in the Trivia comp and Rotten Ronnie also has him under presha. Rotten must've been swotting up over summer. To join the Trivia comp, login to footytips.com.au then go to http://www.footytips.com.au/tipping/afl/trivia.

Yes I know its unbelievable but the jackpot has gone off yet again, this time with Little Bustard winning it for the 2nd time. He is a model of inconsistency with recent rounds of 9, 2 and 9, which is reflected in his 34th placing on the Uglybustards ladder! (Jackpot winnings depend on number of prize pool entries).

The deadline is this Friday May 31st.  Email uglybustard@uglybustards.com for details on how to pay.  For those of you who paid last year, the details are the same, but remember to email me and ID yourself on payment so I know its you.
