Well, here we go again, fellow AFL Tipsters, with just days to go ‘til the ‘kick-off’ of the 2024 AFL Season, it’s time for me to once again start rounding up eight
'cats with commitment' to fill the privileged, but limited positions available for your 2024 AFL Tipsters’ Competition, thus giving me a reason for living at least through to September…!
This year’s season launches with a huge BYE contingent (i.e., 10 teams who couldn’t get their together in time,) with the opening match being Swans vs Demons at 1930 THURSDAY 7th MARCH
at the SCG…

Cut-off deadline for your Round #1 Tips is 1200 noon Wed. 6th March, thereafter we’ll revert to the established 1200 noon Thurs as per the norm… PM is the preferred method of lodging your Tips.

As usual, all I ask of Tipsters is that they ensure that I have a current contact mobile phone number and an e-mail address, so I can save you from any last minute MOBI Dick Picks…

Assuming the return of our regular AFL Tipsters, I’ve taken the liberty with my first 2024 ‘work of art’ of placing each of you in the order in which you finished Season 2023…



I eagerly look forward to receiving your confirmations of your intentions to participate in this year’s fun challenge…

ATTENTION: IT'S BEEN POINTED OUT THE TIPSTERS' SELECTION BOARD ABOVE IS INCORRECT, MOVE FORWARD ONE PAGE FOR THE CORRECTED ROUND #1 TIPSTERS' SELECTION BOARD...

I'm in. Why not another year of humiliation?
I used to be able to tip okay once. Now I'm about as much use as a chocolate frying pan.
