Greetings AFANA Tipsters,
 
This is the weekly update on the AFANA Members Tipping Competition for Round 18. Again, I apologize for my tardiness with this update. With a job interview yesterday and the house purchase closing tomorrow, I'm doing my best! Please bear with me through the next few weeks.

Round 18 got off to a pretty ugly start for most members. Only three members (Lisa, Rob and Bryan) correctly tipped West Coast for their win over St Kilda. The next day produced another winner tipped by zero members - Carlton's upset over Melbourne. On Sunday, Bryan was the only member who correctly tipped Geelong for their win over Brisbane. Bryan picks up a bonus point for that effort - congrats!

The spate of upsets made for mostly low scores, although Rob still managed better than most, picking up six correct winners for the week. Lisa, Bryan, Fred and myself came in with five winners, while most ended the week with four winners.

There were a few shuffles on the overall standings as a result. Gerry still sits on top, however his lead of 5 was knocked down to 3 points by Rob, who is now hot on Gerry's tail. A further three points back in equal third is Nigel, whom I joined on that tally. Lisa is two points further back. With four weeks to go, a few more upsets could change things drastically.

Round 19 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:
