Just a reminder that the Gold medal position are to those who gain the most points Silver goes to the 2nd most amount of points gained and the Bronze goes to those who gain the 3rd most amount of points So strictly speaking, we bend the rules on placings but that's the tradition And long may the tradition continue!! haha

The post-season tipping competition is done & dusted and once again we have joint winners! Go the Biff & Clintosaurus both picked up maximum points in the SB and so rounded out as deserved winners. Well played! layzie also picked up full points to fly home to gain the silver medal position In the bronze medal position are 3 former winners of either or both tipping competitions ... JV7, DeeSpencer & Dee Zephyr. So well played to all and thanks for your participation. Both comps are quite easy to run in all honesty and we're now up to 10 years running with both comps and in my view, they help keep this thread ticking over (which was, and still is, the original aim) So what's up next? The Canadian Football League?!!! Post Season Tipping Comp Final Leaderboard 30 - Clintosaurus, Go the Biff 25 - layzie 21 - JV7, DeeSpencer, Dee Zephyr 20 - Gorgoroth 19 - Dr. Gonzo, Macca 13 - DemonDave To the winners, go the spoils!

Well, you've got a point. So I said it, so it must be true!! haha ... forget the humility! But if we're talking all time best, any position, then the debate could go on for quite some time. And Aaron Donald would certainly be in the conversation as his influence and great playing ability is immense How about Jerry Rice and his numbers? 1549 catches, 22,895 yards & 197 TD's (thanks google) ... and 10 first-team All-Pro lists Surprisingly, Brady only has 3 first-team All-Pro lists Aaron Donald has 6 first-team All-Pro lists

Brady's greatest strength was his management of games. No one else comes close and that is a rare talent It's like he was another coach actually playing. Steven May x 5 or 10 in my view I'd agree with you on the rest but all things have to be taken into account including the biggie ... game management. And he did it all well into his 40's. The whole cheating aspect was over exaggerated too. Mostly borne out of jealousy & envy Brady is the G.O.A.T, Gorg. In my humble opinion!

There's talk that Mahomes might eventually rival Brady as the best of all time But first he needs to catch Joe Montana who, up until 5 or 6 years ago, was regarded as the best But as great as Montana was, Brady has to be regarded as the best ever, especially with 7 x SB rings. In a 32 team league, 7 SB wins is extraordinary!! Played under great coaching of course (and with great teams) KC should get at least 1 or 2 more titles you'd imagine as Andy Reid always seems to get his team into contention. And Mahomes is only 27 years old so another 8-10 years at his optimum?

Mahomes was magnificent, dodgy ankle and all. He was in genuine pain but kept marching his team down the field. Brady-like

If you were a betting man then the result would be different ... that's how betting works, BDA! haha

Looks like 'Go the Biff' & Clintosaurus have both won the tipping comp. Gold!! 'layzie' has rattled home to claim the Silver medal whilst JV7, DeeSpencer & Dee Zephyr all get the bronze More later

Chiefs win ... Andy Reid gets another SB Mahomes = Stellar!

8 seconds ... can't see the Eagles performing a miracle (but you never know)

Unless they miss the field goal ... 11 seconds to get 3 points for the Eagles if KC get the field goal

Chiefs have got this if they're smart

Ha! Beware the injured athlete ... we saw it with Djokovic and now Mahomes

Chiefs all over them!! Been great after half time

Wow!! It's all happening! That could have easily been deemed a catch

I don't normally take much notice of bad calls but to my eyes, he well and truly controlled the ball before stepping out of bounds Going the be interesting to see how Mahomes goes in the 2nd half. As Jimmy Johnson said, he needs his legs to be an overall weapon. If he's not mobile, the DL will probably get to him

I thought that was a catch! Slight bobble?

And just like that a huge turnover! (I'm watching live for a bit)

Ha ha! What about the ability levels? 😄 There again, the Norm Smith curse was a very real thing ... and there is documented proof to back that up! 57 long, tortuous years!!!

Eagles 13+

@Gorgoroth... don't forget your tips

2 of the original posters on this thread are head to head tomorrow ... @pantaloons(Chiefs) & @Dappa Dan(Eagles) so good luck to both you blokes tomorrow if you're reading this (hope you're both well) So we play for a total of 10 points in the tipping comp (5 win & 5 bonus) so good luck to all! Whichever way you look at it, it's going to be a tight finish in the tipping comp ... let's hope the actual match is the same! Unless I have a wager on the game I don't really have a dog in the fight. I've always liked Andy Reid and Mahomes is a star whilst the Eagles are a team that have had an outstanding season and would be absolute deserved winners of the SB if they prevail Leaderboard Post Season Tipping Comp 21 - JV7 (Eagles 1-6) @DeeSpencer(?) 20 - Go the Biff (Chiefs 1-6) Clintosaurus (Chiefs 1-6) @Gorgoroth(?) 19 - Dr.Gonzo (Eagles 7-12) @Macca(?) 16 - Dee Zephyr (Chiefs 13+) 15 - layzie (Chiefs 1-6) 13 - DemonDave (Eagles 7-12) YouTube has a heap of preview videos of the SB so I won't post any up. I'm working but will be listening in on audio If any of you blokes get a chance, posting up a few vital moments during the match will be greatly appreciated

Anamoe toys with them and wins easily! What an absolute star! Magic ride by JMac Royal Ascot on the agenda in late June! The mile or the mile and a quarter is the choice

I like Pinstriped but we haven't seen the best of it as yet. Swoopers often need a bit of luck and the horse hasn't seen clear running in a lot of its races Racing at Sandown & Flemington this Autumn (predominantly) could see it shine Any races in Sydney earmarked?

@Dee Zephyr.... El Mag racing in Darwin tomight at 7pm!
