'Tricky's Tip'... As (eventually,) there would only ever be FOUR images during the 4 weeks of the AFL Finals Series posts, i.e....

......................... AFL FINALS Week #1 - Qualifying and Elimination Games (Completed)
]........................ AFL FINALS Week #2 - 1st Semi-Final and 2nd Semi-Final Games (Final Results now posted)
]........................ AFL FINALS Week #3 - 1st Preliminary Final and 2nd Preliminary Final Games (Final Results now posted) and finally...
]........................ AFL FINALS Week #4 - GRAND FINAL (WINNERS BOARD now posted)

...I decided to economize on my efforts and bandwidth by posting all of the Finals Boards in the one post (as above)..! ENJOY...!!!

BRISBANE LIONS BACK-TO-BACK GRAND FINAL WINNERS


And here's our AFL GRAND FINAL WINNERS... Congrats to CONNIE in 1st, SMILEY in 2nd and TOPJARS and BEARTOO sharing 3rd... BZ GUYS...!
..........................

Ordinarily, I'd be spending the last few hours before the Grand Final putting the finishing touches to the Award Medals for our Top Tipsters, however this year, it was too close to call, with
Smiley and Connie both on 309, it could've gone either way. Similarly, there were 2 points separating Beartoo, Tafmo and Topjars..! So rather than covering ALL the various options by creating
multiple Award Medals, I opted to wait 'til AFTER the Grand Final results to start on them... The one constant in the Tipsters' Awards, worthy of a special mention, is Mark 'Sully' Sullivan,
....................who has singlehandedly secured the Wooden Spoon in BOTH the AFL and NRL 2025 Tipsters' Competitions..!!! BZ Mark, well done..!


TRICKY'S MINT WENT INTO OVERDRIVE TO PRODUCE THE AWARD MEDALS FOR OUR TOP TIPSTERS
