Running very late this year but it’s back for season 2025! The tipping competition with a difference. No need to pick your tips week by week - you pick them all before the season starts!

This year’s First prize is a choice of 1 photo of your choice from 3 great Essendon moments. Second prize will be one of the remaining two photos, while the last photo goes to Third place.
They look a lot better than my scans suggest and all about 20cm x 20cm official Newscorp prints.
Most of you know how it goes, but for those who don’t, here are the rules and instructions:
- You must be a BomberBlitz member to play.
- Download the entry spreadsheet from here:
FLR-2025-Your-Blitz-Name.xlsx
Note that you can’t edit the file online. You must download it. - Rename the file with your BomberBlitz name.
- Select the predicted winner (or draw) for each of the 207 matches of the season. Note: You may have to “Enable Editing” to be able to make your picks.
- Email your entry to BomberMcVeigh @ Gmail.com (without the spaces). Give it about 24 hours to be processed as I’m not checking that inbox too often.
- You must do all of this BEFORE Thursday March 6 at 7:50pm (start of the season) Any entries received after this time will be ignored.
- Any games that you don’t select a winner for will be assumed to be the AWAY team.
- Only one entry per Blitzer, including those with multiple personas.
- In the event of a tie, all winners will be recognised in the honour roll however due to the uniqueness of the prizes, there will be a countback for the prize winner with the tipper with the most "9"s, “8”'s etc. being the winner.
- Isaac Kako
- Any complaining or correspondence will probably be ignored.
- Entries will be recorded in this opening post as they have been processed.
- All “ladders” will be sent in the replies to your entry emails.
- Progressive results will be published after each round in this thread.
Go for it!
