I have updated my AFL tips page to include my tips for round 5.

Kangaroos overpowered by Eagles (afl.com.au / Mic Cullen)

From the article: “After matching the hosts in the early stages, the Kangaroos were overpowered by the West Coast Eagles in their Wizard Home Loans Cup semi-final at Subiaco on Friday night - 2.15.12 (120) to 0.5.10 (40).”

Roos through to final four (afl.com.au / Samantha Lane)

From the article: “The Kangaroos have knocked off the reigning day premiers and progressed to the semi-finals of the Wizard Home Loans Cup after defeating Port Adelaide by 44 points at Telstra Dome 1.15.21 (120) to 2.9.4 (76) on Saturday night.“

It was a good win for the Kangaroos, but I’m not sure if it would have had the same result if it wasn’t for the injuries sustained by several Port players during the game. Still, it was good to see some of the new faces in the Kangaroos performing well. The team are off to Perth next week to face the West Coast Eagles on their home turf.

Gritty Roos upstage Cats (Kangaroos / Scott Spits)

The Kangaroos have made an impressive start to the pre-season with 25 point win over Geelong at Manuka Oval. The Roos will go on to play either Adelaide or Port Adelaide next weekend.

Added tally after round 12 and tips and results so far for round 13. It’s a little odd how they’re doing the split round this year with only a single game in the second weekend. I think I prefer it with the games divided equally over the two weekends.

My AFL Tips page has been updated to include results from round 11 and my picks for round 12.

AFL Tips updated. Not much else to report, other than BigPond’s Basement to close (Australian IT). It had to happen sooner or later I guess. From what I saw of their programming it looked like a fairly large budget operation with a very small audience, which is never a good recipe for commercial success.

AFL Tips updated. I got 6 this round - I didn’t pick the Eddies beating the Crows and the Doggies defeating the Blues.

I have updated my tips page. I’m averaging 5 per round, which isn’t great, but better than average.
