The season got off to a flyer in Round 1 with two of our tipsters locking in 8 picks, Rampaging Royalpark just pipping out Whopper for the whopper!
Round 2 has come upon us quickly with an Easter Thursday match up north at The Gabba. Fev faces up to his old team mates after slagging them off in the pre-season so look out for a bit of argy bargy in the Brisbane forward line. The Lions should be too good at home.
The team with the longest 21 weeks ahead of them, Melbourne, face up to a fancied Pies outfit at the G on Saturday whilst the Saints should have a decent match up against the Roos later on that night. The Eagles play host to the Power on Saturday night with their running game most likely too strong but Port should be good for a roughie pick.
After the Easter egg hunt on Sunday morning, settle in for another interstate matchup with the Crows at home to a Sydney team that only just missed out on the 4 points last week. Freo played a high pressure match last week and take on Essendon at Etihad Sunday arvo whilst the Doggies should step up a gear and easily account for a "rebuilding' Richmond at the G after that.
The round wraps up on Monday just as all the caravans and cars filled with cranky families are winding their way home on jam packed highways. It's an '08 Grand Final repeat with the Hawks regaining Big Buddy Franklin for the occasion.
Happy Easter to everyone and have we mentioned how well our 07 Mitchell Harris Shiraz matches with chocolate?? Ooh yeah...
For all you Ballarat folk out there, e-mail us with an order today and we'll get you some wine in time for Easter!
Cheers,
Mitch, Lis, Johnno and Shan

Mitchell Harris Cabernet 2010 - a work in progress...
A few snaps from this week, showing that winemaking isn't all sitting on a verandah watching the sun set over the vineyard.
Things look promising for a top vintage 2010...
The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon in our open-top fermenters.
If you look closely you can probably even see Johnno breaking a sweat in some of these shots!

Round 1 Mitchell Harris Mates Footy Tipping...And so it begins!
Welcome tipsters to season 2010!!
Thanks to everyone for signing up for the Mitchell Harris Mate v Mate Footy Tipping for the 2010 AFL season, it's bound to be a cracker of year, with plenty of booze up for grabs every week.
Round 1 kicks off on Thursday night with a clash between the Tigers and Blues, a clash of the absent forwards. No Richo and no Fev. New look teams for both sides and Cuz looking to take the field after a brief respite this week, but no Juddy for the Blues.
The G is the venue for the reigning premiers on Friday night. They're up against the Bombers as Gary Ablett continues to field speculation on his move north to snap up the pot of gold.
The Saints looked fairly tidy in their Grand Final showing in the NAB Cup and they take on the Bloods at home on Saturday night, who have regained some of the Irish luck with Kennelly back on board.
After a spectacularly ordinary 2009, the Demons are back with a pack of highly rated junior burgers, but will need to lift their game a bit as they take on the Hawks, albeit sans Buddy.
We head north on Saturday night with Brisbane up against the Weagles. Brisbane's team list has had more ins and outs than Tiger Woods, but all eyes will be on their own high profile philanderer up forward, Brendan "Happy snaps" Fevola.
Port Adelaide clashes with the Kangaroos on Sunday arvo over in the city of churches, with both teams showing a bit of form early in the pre-season.
Big Bazza Hall is the talk of the doggies team for 2010. The 33 year old is firing on all cylinders with 17 goals in 3 games but here on the Mitchell Harris bench we think he's got about a fortnight before being rubbed out. Surely the match of the round as they face up to a highly fancied Pies outfit.
Fremantle are up against the Crows on Sunday evening..oh.. so much ho-hum so early in the season...
Anyway, there it is tipsters, welcome aboard and tip well!
