Prompt Footy Tipping 2026 Round 9
The Hawks learnt the difficulty of going to Perth & playing against the Dockers. In a final ¼ fightback the home team seemed to have more legs & recorded a 15pt win, disappointing Rus & Stu.
On Friday we ALL knew the Lions would be too much for Carlton, who started well but faded. And now Carlton will have a fill in senior coach for the rest of 2026.
In Adelaide that same day the Power held the visiting Bulldogs goalless in the 3rd quarter. But that wasn’t enough & the Bulldogs managed to scrape out a 2 point win. We were divided in our tipping on this game.
At Marvel Stadium on Saturday we were united in tipping the Swans over the Roos, but it was a much closer game than we expected. The final margin was just 8 points.
Only Nathan (M) believed his Bombers would be able to travel to Sydney & beat the GWS Giants. Sorry mate – it wasn’t to be.
Up in Darwin, at TIO Stadium, the Gold Coast Suns hosted the Saints & in spite of a strong start the Saints fell well short. Lucas was the only tip against the Suns who won by almost 5 goals after a strong second half.
That evening Geelong hosted the Magpies at the G. The Magpies didn’t have any answers to Geelong’s pressure & lost by 54 points, disappointing Suzy, Noah & Robyn.
All of us tipped he final two games of the round correctly.
Phil, Dave & Neil all scored 9 (scratchies are en-route). Rus, Stu, Robyn & Nathan (M) all recorded 7 correct. The rest of us got 8.
This means that Dave is now alone in front on 66 with Nathan (R) in second on 65. Daz is on 63 followed by Neil woth 62. Robyn & Chris are together on 61 with Jason next with 60. Suzy & Phil have 58, Sarah & Rus are on 57 while Noah & Lucas have 55. Stu is on 51 with Nathan (M) on 46.
Will the “sacked coach syndrome” impact the round 10 game at Marvel between Carlton & the Bulldogs? Who knows. It is a funny game.
Round 10 starts on Thursday when Geelong travel to the Gabba to take on the Lions. Get those tips in early & good Luck.
Cheers
Neil
