AFANA Members Tipping Contest Weekly Update - Round 20

Greetings AFANA Tipsters,
 
This is the weekly update on the AFANA Members Tipping Competition for Round 20.

Round 20 saw many members with better scores for the week, however another spate of unexpected results on Saturday stopped anyone from excelling. Only three, four and four members correctly tipped Geelong, Bulldogs and Hawthorn, respectively.

Bryan and Tricia (who is out of the country!) managed the best results for the week, both getting six winners. Congrats to you both. Seven more members tipped 5 winners correctly.  No bonus points this week.

Overall, as he predicted, Gerry righted himself and re-established a 3 point overall margin over Rob in second place. I jumped up to third, two points further back while Nigel slipped a notch to fourth, one point further back. With only two rounds left, Bryan, Lisa and Brody all remain within striking distance of the top four. Is Gerry safe? Important tipping to come.

Round 21 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:
