Hello again everyone, firstly let me apologise for being a little slack in my duties to this board of late. I have had a couple of important presentations to give and they have taken a lot of my time away from important things like Footy, Stubbies and Choon.
Important news is that Port Adelaide added their first piece of silverware to the trophy cabinet by winning the Ansett Cup with a resounding victory over the Brisbane Lions.

The first round of matches get under way on Friday 30 March, and the games are;

2001 Premiership Season Round 1 View Channel 7 TV Footy times
Friday, March 30, 2001 Where When
Kangaroos v. Essendon (Night) MCG 7:40 PM

Saturday, March 31, 2001 Where When

Fremantle v. Carlton (Night) Subiaco 7:40 PM AEST

Sunday, April 01, 2001 Where When

Melbourne v. Richmond MCG 2:10 PM

Remember that the home team is named first.
The teams doing the long haul in this round are;
Carlton

Remember you don't have to have your tips in for another week, Thurs 29th USA time.
I'll attempt to find as many injurie reports as I can for your fantasy teams.

Welcome Hatters, I'm sorry I missed your Eagles having to travel to Geelong. If you have a list of Eagles players with long term injuries, could you post it so that the footy heads will have an idea who not to pick.

Thanks.

Just a reminder, you have about 18 hours from the time of this message before the first game gets underway and you pull the first 'perl' of the season.

Hey G-8, you may want to tip the Bombers Roos game, after all it is the season opener. Or should we just call you G-7 from now on, since you only like to tip 7.
;-)
Now here comes the standard:
Bombers
Hawks
Doggies
Lions, Sorry Frank p, Voss is back.
Blues Eat a pie for me Big Jack
Swans
Tigers
Cats

Boys and girls of all ages! Welcome to the start of the Footy season! Lets the games begin and the beer flow!
Unfortunately at this exciting time I must make the tips that will no-doubt bring some of you down. Ms. Pez also is participating again this year. Despite being married, she keeps the "Ms" Pez name. Go figure. Perhaps she wants to avoid the attention and celebrity of my name. ;-)

Ms. Pez's picks-
Roos-Confidence in a Wayne-less Roo squad. Gutsy.
Hawks
Dockers
Saints-Old habits die hard. She tipped them nearly every game last year.
Power
Eagles
Tigers
Swans

And now, for the main event:

Bombers
Hawks
Blues-Seems Big Jack is the tip of the day.
Dogs
PORT PORT PORT
Cats
Demons
Swans

gobbster, I've got to think the Bomber-Roos game will at least be worthy of a tip! Fortunately this isn't like Smellworld, or you'd have an "Invalid tipster" and get 0 points. :)
Congratulations, though, you've just pulled the first "gobb". ;-)

Being it was the 29th and I have a bad habit of pearling . . . I thought I'd let it go. No good deed goes unpunished.

Just to refresh some rules.

1. Drink plenty of beer
2. as above!!
3. non tipping will result in you being alloted all the AWAY teams for that round.
4. picking the correct 8 will give you an extra 3 bonus points.
5. Winning tipster will get a prize again.
I think we should have a pool on how many times goobster screws up this year.

Now here are the winners;
Essendon duh!!
Hawthorn
Caaaarlton
Bulldogs
Port......please let it be Port!!
Geelong
Melbourne
Sydney
Good luck everyone and G* I think you should put in a tip.

Essendon

Melbourne
Sydney
