Mitchell Harris Footy Tipping Round 2 Preview!

Hey tipsters, welcome to round 2. It's been a busy week at the winery with our Pinot Noir for both sparkling wine and Rosé halfway through fermentation and looking the goods. JH is hitting the sack early tonight so he can press off the Savvy first thing in the morning ..(wow...no euphemisms there!) and then its onto the reds in a week or two.

4 tipsters came home with eight tips last week but it was the Wild Whiteheads who secured top spot with a game margin of only 2! Nice work, but look out - KC and the Sunshine band will be shake, shake shaking her booty all the way to the top, followed closely by the Jedi Master himself...

The round kicks off tomorrow night with the Saints and Tiges meeting at the G. St Kilda have won 13 games in a row against Richmond since 2003 and could very easily clock up no 14. A bit of a training run for the Magpies on Saturday when they take on the injury riddled North Melbourne whilst Port are at home to a Weagles team that just does not like to travel.

And the game on Saturday night is what they're all talking about! There is a new team in the comp, the Gold Coast Suns, and here's hoping there will be a Dr Geoffrey Edelsten Sydney Swans style debut complete with swanettes, tight shorts and pink helicopters! The Suns meet the Blues in a battle of the bald headed skippers with Juddy trotting out for his 200th.

Freo are setting out to avenge their 69 point loss to the Cats in last years semi-final whilst the disappointing Doggies meet Brisbane who will be minus their captain Jonathan Brown, who is still picking his face up off the turf at the Gabba.

Hirdy had a very impressive debut last week but should find a tough game against the Swannies up in Sydney and the weekend winds up at the G on Sunday arvo with the youthful Dees taking on the Hawks who just couldn't finish the job last week.

Get tipping tipsters and good luck!

Round 3 Mitchell Harris Mates Footy Tipping

Welcome to Round 3 tipsters!

Well, the competition has well and truly kicked off, with Whooper the Whopper just leading the way from Mitchell Harris' very own Miss Lis.
Jan Godfrey took out the Easter chocolates last week, picking 7 in a tough round.

Round 3 kicks off with a cracker of a game on Friday night. A highly fancied Saints outfit takes on the Magpies who don't know if they're Arthur or Martha on the footy field. 
North Melbourne scored themselves an embarrassing lesson on the game last week but should bounce back to give the Weagles a run on Saturday afternoon.

Port Adelaide are at home to Brisbane who have won their first two games thanks to stirling performances from one J.Brown whilst the Blues are looking for their first win for 2010 against the Bombers at the G. Saturday night sees the Swans take on a struggling Richmond, looking at a drubbing of 91 points or more . Did we say 91 points?? Wow that's what the 2007 Mitchell Harris Shiraz scored in a review by the highly respected author Gary Walsh of The Wine Front. What a coincidence...

The Demons missed out on knocking off the Pies by a solitary point last week and could give the struggling Crows a run for their money as well at the G on Sunday. Doggies against the Hawks should be another ripper of a game with both teams looking in fine form. Bulldogs should still be pretty fresh after barely raising a sweat against Richmond in Rd 2.  Freo have never won the first three games of a season and this may still be out of reach in 2010 when they face up to the Cats on Sunday evening.

Speaking of our 2007 Shiraz, we're running out the last few cases at a special price of $30 per bottle (usually $34.95), or a tasty little 6 pack for $150.
Just reply to this e-mail with any orders.
Get on board!!

Have a great weekend!

Easter Footy Tipping with Mitchell Harris

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
