Here are the matches scheduled for the forthcoming weekend in the Australian
Football League:

Round 23 (home team always listed first)
--------
22nd August
Carlton      v.  Collingwood        (Waverley Park)
Essendon     v.  North Melbourne    <-- must be 'North', not 'Nth' or 'N.'
Fitzroy      v.  Richmond
Brisbane     v.  Sydney             (Carrara)
23rd August
Melbourne    v.  St.Kilda           <-- no space between 'St.' and 'Kilda'
Footscray    v.  West Coast
Adelaide     v.  Geelong
Bye: Hawthorn

As every week, congratulations to those who attained a full score of seven
this round!  There was one tricky game (Carl/Foots) and one rank upset (Adel/
St.K) which made the job a little difficult.  Aside from those two, the
'correct' stats for the other games were up around the 90% mark.
Things could have been drastically different had the Shinboners kept up
their momentum on Saturday but such is football.

We might expect things to have settled down by this stage of the season,
however this doesn't appear to be the case with some big matches coming up
in the last couple of weekends.

Administrative note:  I'm hoping to keep the tipping running through the
finals series, maybe with finals games worth double (this would mean you
get either 2/2 or 0/2 from each game).  Any comments?  Also, I'd hope to
inform you fairly soon of what might happen next year.

NB. In keeping with the notion of raising the qualifying level only
every fortnight, it rise to 8 weeks for Round 23.

How to play.
-----------

The instructions are simple -- send Email to
  u906586@bruny.cc.utas.edu.au

with your AFL tips in the body of the message.  Enclose your selections by
lines of THREE asterisks on their own (see example below).
Make sure you use the team's proper name (e.g. Essendon, not Bombers or Dons)
but don't worry about precise spelling: only the first four letters are looked
at, case insensitive.

You are identified by your Email address -- only one entry per address per
week is allowed.  Entries should be received by 5 pm Friday afternoons AEST
(AEST = GMT + 1000).  You don't have to play each & every week, but if you
do post selections, the software expects you to tip every game.

Each Monday or Tuesday I will post the results from Saturday, the games
scheduled for the following week, and some basic instructions for 'newies'.

Example tips (my actual ones for Round 23):
***
Carlton (massacre)
Essendon (Roos have a bad record vs. them of late)
Richmond (Tigers performance over the last two rounds belies their results)
Brisbane (hardest one to pick of the whole round)
St.Kilda (expect the saints to be desperate...)
West Coast (Dogs faltering)
Geelong
***

Any enquiries should be directed to
  justin@tasman.cc.utas.edu.au
and not to the address for tips displayed above.

Have fun.

Justin Ridge.
