Round 16 tipping - Beware the Fangsnatcher

Welcome tipsters...
 A final word on the round ball game - we have two winners in our World Cup tipping comp. Reidy and BD take themselves home a bottle of the 07 Shiraz for their troubles..nice work lads! Viva La Espana!! It's just lucky Paul the octopus isn't on our mailing list..
Two of our other tipsters hit the jackpot last week, Troy "Champs" Chandler just pipped The Wiz for the tasty little bottle of MH. The Wiz has been uncharacteristically quiet this year but could be coming home with a flying finish. Hard to see him knocking of the Fabulous Fangsnatcher though, who is holding onto the No 1 spot like a couple of stubborn molars.
Our illustrious winemaker Johnno has done a 'Cadel' going from 8 picks in round 14 to a measly 4 last week, dropping rapidly off the back of the pack..

Onto the ball game...
Adelaide have been on quite the winning streak of late but their last three wins have been against the Dees, the Bombers and West Coast - not really the top flyers of the AFL by any stretch.. Geelong will be a different story all together and the pussy cats should send those crows flapping right out of reach of the top 8.
A Saturday afternoon shindig at the G will see Collingwood come up against the Saints. Last time these teams played the Saints skipper shredded his hammy, but he's back in the game whilst the Pies are one down with Travis Cloke sidelined for a bit of argy bargy last week. The Malthouse V Milne mouth off should ensure a firey match up.
The Hawks are looking like playing sans Buddy on Saturday arvo down in the Isle of Apples. They match up against a Brisbane outfit who have been locked away in court all week battling it out with Fitzroy over which way the Lion should roar!
With two coaches under fire, look out the loser of this game between the Bombers and West Coast. Woosh or Matty Knights could be lining up at Centrelink behind Choco next week..
Under new coach Matty Primus, Port meet the Bulldogs on Saturday night at Tio Stadium..Huh? Where? Tio who? Ok ok, so I googled it and they're headed to Darwin. Playing in about 35 degrees should thaw out the boys this week and the Doggies will still be without Aker who still can't seem to "fermez sa bouche!".

Two teams...both desperately trying to cement their spot in the top 8.  Blues V Bloods. A loss for either of these teams could see them slip out of the 8 quicker than green grass through a goose. A little bit of Facebook sledging from Richmond's Daniel Jackson sets the scene for their clash against North Melbourne on Sunday. The Tigers have won four in a row and might just make it five this week. Finally the Dees head west to face Freo who are coming off a disappointing loss last week and should come out flying, especially given Melbourne's record of winning 1 of their last 19 interstate games!

Good luck!

Shan, Johnno, Mitch and Lis
