AFL Round 22 2017 Results

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

Fortuna’s AFL Round 22 2017Unfortunately 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.

AFL Round 18 2017 Results

Man, I was so looking forward to a great week of AFL tipping. As you can see below, the AFL round 18 2017 results started off OK until the Melbourne vs Port Power game.

Trust Port Power to be the first one to screw things up for us. That was definitely a game they should have won but unfortunately they were asleep the first half. It wasn’t until the second half that someone decided to flip the switch to turn the power on, but by then it was way too bloody late.

As you can see from this article it was all about the Demons! The Power hardly got a mention until nearly the end of the article, but then when you play like shit, that’s all you deserve.

At least the Crows played like this was the win they had to have. They’ve finally broken the 14 year old hoodoo I spoke about in a previous post. Pyke spoke about the fierce contest but I’m sure everyone who watched that match saw how brilliantly the Crows stood up against the Cats! The Cats threw everything at them and were always in their faces but the Crows finally stood up the them and gave better than what they got.

And what about Sloane? Was he a bloody marvel or what? Lets hope he can keep it up.

Too bad we will lose Betts in the Collingwood clash due to having his appendix removed but fingers crossed that he will be back in the next Showdown.

See what the Roar had to say about the Richmond vs GWS Giants game. They figured it was going to be a close game and that Richmond should win. Looks like they were right.

The Collingwood vs West Coast was always going to be a close game, but it was still one that I thought West Coast could win. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be. Check out what Nine WWOS thought of that game.

As for the Carlton and Brisbane game? Read how Brisbane managed to hold off the late Carlton comeback?

The AFL round 18 2017 results just goes to show why teams have to play four quarters of footy if they expect to play finals.

How did you go with your AFL round 18 2017 results?

As far as the betting goes, you’ll notice from my last post that the Sportsbet wager turned out to be a winner whereas the William Hill one didn’t.

AFL Finals Week 2 Tipping Results

It also makes your sports betting that much more enjoyable.  😉

OK, lets have a look at Fortuna’s AFL Finals week 2 tipping results.

Looks like this is Fortuna’s worst ever result getting only 50% of her picks right. Then again when you consider there was only two games played last week it’s not all that bad at all.  :tongue_out:

Even though I backed Adelaide to beat Hawthorn it wasn’t to be. I have to say that Hawthorn played a brilliant game! As for Adelaide, man what a disappointment that turned out to be. I don’t know why Adelaide lost against Hawthorn. After their win against the Bulldogs I really thought they would do better in their clash against Hawthorn. But it wasn’t to be. It was as if they didn’t come prepared for the battle.

To me it looked as if the Finals pressure was just too much for them. They buckled under that pressure making way too many mistakes. A bit of the let down after playing so well even with the demise of their former coach, Phil Walsh.

I reckon that Patrick Dangerfield will now make his way over to Geelong. Suppose you can’t blame him too much,wanting to go back to his family home and all. That and the fact his girlfriend is probably influencing his decision, maybe just that tiny little bit.

Anyway, those AFL finals week 2 footy tips resulted in two losing bets. But I’m not fussed because the excited value of those two bets was well worth the cost. Here’s hoping I do better with this weeks bets.
