Round 14 - The Three Weeks and Three Nails

Hmmmm a day of 3's... A 3-3 result, the first round of The Three Weeks and three nails into the top-6 coffin, and with three more matches tomorrow I wonder how many more nails there shall be with two more rounds to go.

The Maggies.... looks like they were abducted by aliens again and got replaced by hybrids who were programmed to lose. The other two results were not unexpected, the Crows and the Demons were not surprises, just matches that could have gone either way, must have jinxed those top 3 tipsters who like me are looking down the barrel of the worst ever round thus far unless in the unlikely scenario of managing to pick all three winners tomorrow.

Hawthorn and the Lions.... well the odds are fairly short on the Hawks, all indications are that they should win. So hopefully at least one point. Kangaroos and the Giants, well could be closer than expected, the Giants could very well win, though on probability theory we go with the Skippies. Tigers against the Saints, that one could go either way, going with the Tigers, it remains to be seen whether this will be another nail.

It goes to show that regardless of what strategy we employ, the curse of The Three Weeks always finds a way. Last year it was the points variance that proved to be the nails of the top 6 coffin, this year it seems it will be the tipping points, scoring only three so far with perhaps another two tomorrow being the most likely scenario leaving me with just five for this 1st of The Three Weeks.
