The AFL Round 6 2018 Results are in and once again I’ve managed to get 6 tips right. Man, I wish I could break that 6 game hoodoo. The worst thing is my Sportsbet multi-bet was a loser too. Thanks to the Geelong Sydney game. More about that later. Let’s look at my AFL Round 6 2018 Results.

AFL Round 6 2018 Results

AFL Round 6 2018 Score Results

WESTERN BULLDOGS   4.5   7.8   9.12  11.14 (80)
CARLTON                         3.1   4.3    6.6    8.11 (59)

I got this one right so I haven’t got much to say about this game, other that Whoo Hoo!

GEELONG      2.3          6.7       9.8       10.9 (69)
SYDNEY         4.6          4.7       5.10     12.13 (85)

There were two things that I found to be upsetting in this game. The first is that Geelong should have won this game and were winning by 22 points in the third quarter. Then for some reason, they let Syndey score seven goals 3 in the final quarter. That’s more than they scored in the first three quarters!!

The second thing was that game was the only leg I got wrong in my Sportsbet multi!

NORTH MELBOURNE    2.1     4.5      6.7       10.9        (69)
PORT ADELAIDE            4.5     8.6     12.8     15.12     (102)

Yeah, what can I say, Port Power is always letting me down. That’s why I refuse to put any money on them. :thumb_down: The Power’s only downside is Wingard’s hamstring injury.

GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY     3.4     6.9     8.11     10.17     (77)
BRISBANE                                      0.5      1.6     4.9         5.13    (43)

Another winning tip for me. Although I expected GWS to win, I didn’t expect them to win by such a big margin.

HAWTHORN     3.7     4.9     7.9     13.11     (89)
ST KILDA          0.4     3.7     5.10    7.12      (54)

Yep, the Hawks won this game as predicted. As you can see from the results above the Hawks lead in every quarter. The Saints managed to rally in the second, but it was all downhill from there.

ADELAIDE      4.4   10.7   13.9   16.14 (110)
GOLD COAST  2.1    3.4     7.6     9.8  (62)

While I’m happy that Adelaide manages to win this one I sure wish they played more consistently. I’m referring to the Collingwood game which I think was a game they managed to throw away. :bash:

ESSENDON        2.3    5.7    6.9            10.12 (72)
MELBOURNE    1.3    4.7    11.10       16.12 (108)

This is another erroneous tip of mine. It turns out Melbourne was too good for Essendon.

COLLINGWOOD          2.2       5.7       7.9       10.10 (70)
RICHMOND                 3.4       4.9       8.14     16.17 (113)

I would have been surprised if Richmond lost this game.

FREMANTLE          4.3    5.4    9.7     12.9 (81)
WEST COAST        1.1    6.6   10.7    13.11 (89)

It’s always nice to finish off with a winning tip, and West Coast managed to do that for me.

So there you have it, the AFL Round 6 2018 Results and scores. How did you manage to go last week?

As the AFL gets closer to the finals our roller coaster tipping ride continues as Fortuna sees her AFL round 22 2017 results nearing the apex of the ride. Still not good enough to get all her tips right Fortuna’s AFL round 22 2017 results show she only got two wrong.

Fortuna’s AFL Round 22 2017 Results

Unfortunately for me I put money on the Crows and they let a perfectly winnable game slip through their fingers. That was the first of the two wrong tips for the Fortuna’s AFL Round 22 2017 results, the second being the Carlton vs Brisbane game.

For me though, as far as the AFL Round 22 2017 results go, the Crows losing to Sydney was by far the bigger loss. That has nothing to do with me losing my bet either. It’s all to do with the fact that the Crows should have won that game. Let’s have a look at what some of the experts had to say about that game.

The Guardian called that particular game a thriller and it would have been more than that for Sydney fans. They did point out,

“The scoreline tells it all, the Crows having every chance to win this but throwing it away with their kicking. Through the second half the home side controlled the ball out of the guts, but Sydney are the best defence in the comp for a reason. In the end, the losing side won the inside 50s by a margin of 62 to 42. Remarkable.”

The Advertiser had this to say about the Crows performance, “The Crows finished with 51 more disposals, 21 more contested possessions and 21 more inside 50s than the Swans but still lost.

This was partly due to poor conversion, with Sydney kicking 13.5 to 11.14 as Adelaide butchered opportunities in front of the sticks.”

Yes, the Crows kicked an awful lot of points in that game, and if only one of them was a goal the result of that game would have been entirely different.

The result would also have been different if the umpires didn’t stuff up awarding a 50m penalty against Eddie Betts.

Umps Got It Wrong On 50m Penalty

That’s what the AFL had to say about the crappy umpire call in the dying minutes of the game. A call that definitely cost them the game. But that aside, we all know that what really cost them the game was their poor kicking.

On the bright side, that game showed that the Crows have it in them to win against the Swans. Hopefully the next time they come up against the Swans they come out of it victorious.
