AFANA Members Tipping Contest Weekly Update - Round 19

Greetings AFANA Tipsters,
 
This is the weekly update on the AFANA Members Tipping Competition for Round 19.

Round 19 was another pretty unpleasant round for most members. A whole spate of upsets caught most of us off guard. Nigel was the only member to tip  Essendon's shock win over Collingwood. Nigel picks up a bonus point for that - Congrats! For another week, not a single member tipped a given winner - Port Adelaide in  their win over the Bulldogs. Also, only three members (Chris, Bryan and Fred)  were correct with Fremantle over Adelaide.

As a result, the best scores for the round were 5 out of eight, which was achieved by Nigel, Bryan and Karl. Nigel's bonus point elevated him to 6 points for the week. 4 or 3 winners was more the norm for the rest of us.

Overall, Gerry continued to stumble as the end of the season nears. His lead is  now down to just two points over Rob. Nigel's 6 for the week brought him closer also, only one point further back in third. I'm 2 points further back in fourth before the larger gap opens up.

Round 20 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:
