Greetings fellow tipsters. I found the following definition:
tur·tled, tur·tling, tur·tles (tūrtl)
1. To hunt for turtles, especially as an occupation.
2. Nautical. To capsize.
3. To sheepishly copy or mimic other footy tips by intentionally waiting for fellow tipsters to pick thereby insuring a first place finish.
It is safe to assume that defintion one and two do not apply to Edperl, but definition three . . . Stay tuned
And now for my picks:
Essendon
Carlton
Adelaide
Hawthorn
Sydney
Port
Collingwood (Tough Pick)
Bulldogs (Even tougher pick)
Good luck to Edperl, Rugg and Frank P, may the best footy-man win

I'm going to be very busy tonight, so let me just go ahead and make my first pick and try to squeeze in the rest later tonight:
Essendon.
If I squeeze in the time late, I'll just tag on the rest to this message.
Good work, PT. Very definitive!

I just received an urgent cell phone call from someone who identified himself and sounded to be Rugg. He indicated that he forget to email Frank P or post his tips before he left for his trip. I told him that although he sounds like Rugg, he could be Edperl pretending to be Rugg. He assurred me, despite my correct logic, that he was indeed Rugg. I therefore post his tips. (Ms. Pez will have the same tips per Rugg) I am sure that Edperl will say that this is just another aspect of Footygate. Here are their tips:
Essendon
Carlton
Adelaide
Hawks
Lions
Port
Pies
Bulldogs

Here goes, I'm sticking with my gut instincts (and my new footy tipping service that got me the P-8) like I have all year. Contrary to Chineese lore, this is not the "Year of the Turtle".
Bombers (now the questions get tougher)
Blues
Hawks (roll into the pits on fumes)
Crows (look out Frank p, these guys are tough)
Lions (gotta like the old hero Matthews as coach)
Roos (Come on Pagan, I really need this one)
Demons(Final chance to get back last years respect)
Power (on cruise control)
There they are gentlemen, I apoligise to anyone I may have inadvertently turtled.
Good luck!

Bloody Richmond!!! Well it looks pretty likely that edperl will take out the title of EFF footy brain of the year for 2001......unless my two wildcard tips can bring me level with the new 'master'. We shall see.

There's still hope! I need the Pies and the Doggies to come through for me. Then i'll tie edperl. Damn, I was really thinking of going with the Tigers, too.
Thanks to PTiger for getting my tips in. I was on the way out of town to go see my college team play their first football game of the season when I realized I didn't get my tips in. By the way, the game was great. We won on a last second field goal. After the game, though, things are a little fuzzy. We went to a local pub and apparently tried to drink them completely out of beer. No dice. They had reserves.
