Mitchell Harris Footy Tipping Round 7 Preview!

Welcome to Round 7 of the Mitchell Harris Mates tipping comp!

Well, the funky sounds of "That's the way...uh huh uh huh...I like it" have been ringing out through Nth Fitzroy all week as KC and the Sunshine band took out the honours for Round 6. It's as tight as a nun's nasty at the top of the leader board with three of our tipsters sitting pretty on 39. But nepotism is alive and well at Mitchell Harris and Old Mitch is sitting proudly in the No.1 spot.

It all kicks off tomorrow night with a shocker Port outfit at home to the Hawks. Surely it's time for the Power to pull something out of the bag but with Big Buddy still firing up forward this may not be their week.

As we say here in Ballarat, no dogs in the lake. In the nation’s capital this weekend there will be no lake in the dogs as they take on the Swannies at Manuka Oval. This ought to be a ringa ding ding battle with both teams needing to step if they want to be in the hunt at the business end of the season.

It's a battle in the coaches' box on Saturday arvo as the Cats play host to the Roos coming off their first win for the season. Jimmy Bartel is flying through the centre for the unbeaten Cats and they are coming off a rest so it's going to be a tough ask for the grumpier Scott brother...

The Tigers are on a roll winning 2 games on the trot, possibly something they haven’t done for about 86 years, & we’d like to think they might get this one at the G over the Dockers. However, coming off the back of a bye after 3 straight wins, the Shockers probably have the edge on the hapless Tiges.

The first Queensland Derby kicks off on Saturday night and this should be quite a firey affair despite both teams being on the bottom of the ladder. Simon Black has been mouthing off all week about the ex-Lions players but Guy McKenna has come out fighting. If only the Suns weren't still cowering in the corner from their 93 pt walloping in one quarter last week

The Wooshas Weagles have won the last 4 against the Bombers, but this time around with the golden child Heardy at the helm & Bomber Thompson riding shotgun at the Etihad Hanger, the baby Bombers should take down the Eagles on Sunday arvo.
Dean Bailey has been scouring the jobs vacant columns this week and unless the Dees can nab the four points on Sunday, he could be out the door faster than the words "Pippa's arse" shot to the top of the Google search stats. They clash with Adelaide who are starting to find their groove thing for 2011.

The next night at terminal 2 at Etihad, St Kilda take on the Blue baggers in what should be a great battle. It’s hard to love the Saints this year, after an off season riddled with scandal that seems to have left them pretty exposed & pretty useless to be honest. Just when they seemed to have shaken ghosts & the culture of seasons past, the Saints seem rattled and unlikely to beat the Blues who are cruising along ok after good wins against the Crows & Swans in the last couple of weeks.

So, come on tipsters, who will take home the bottle this week?? Up for grabs is one of our latest release 2010 Pyrenees Sangiovese. Hot off the press and into your glass if you can score the most tips for the week. That's the way...uh huh uh huh...

Good Luck!!
