Again, I let my tipping be based on how I wanted things to end, rather than reflecting reality. I was hopeful things could fall the Saints way. I was wrong Week 22 Home Draw Away Bulldogs (22.15 147) Bombers (18.17 125) Tigers (12.13 85) Eagles (26.17 173) Crows (23.14 152) Demons (14.10 94) Lions (7.15 57) Saints (16.12 108) Dockers (23.13 151) Power (9.18 72) Swans (21.10 136) Blues (6.8 44) Hawks (21.7 133) Cats (10.12 72) Magpies (20.19 139) Kangaroos (10.11 71) My tipping  has me with 108 correct tips for the season. I don’t know how I’ve done in the tipping comp, but I am sure I didn’t win. The Saints have ended up 6th on the ladder and play an elimination final next week against Melbourne at the MCG.
