AFANA Members Tipping Contest Weekly Update - Round 14/15

Greetings AFANA Tipsters,
 
This is the weekly update on the AFANA Members Tipping Competition for Round 15. Indeed, its a long one this week, as we have Round 14 tipping results as well.

Our members tips seem to be showing less diversity than before, but a few upsets in each round continue to surprise. For the first time I can recall since taking over this job, not a single member tipped the Kangaroos win over Bulldogs in round 14, while only one member, Pat, picked Richmond's win over Port. Pat picks up a bonus point for that. In Round 15, Fremantle and Brisbane provided the surprises, however 3 and 4 members tipped each of them, respectively.

As a result, high scores were pretty much in order. Three members topped out with 6 correct tips in Round 14 (Chris, Rob and Pat), while in Round 15, Nigel, Chris, Gerry and Brody all came in with seven winners. Congrats, guys.

With a lot of uniformity in tipping, there's been little change in the overall standings, even after two weeks! Gerry's lead has moved out to a possibly-safe 4 point gap over Nigel, while Rob and myself remain in 3rd and 4th, each one point further back.

Round 16 kicks off with the Friday night game in Australia, so the deadline for getting those first tips in is midnight Thurs/Fri US EDT. However, tips for later games will still count if you send them in later.

Good luck - now onto the details:
