LEADERS BOARD

It is down to the business end of the vfl footy tipping and with only 3 rounds to go things are hotting up. Daniel Bourne and Rick Dennis are equal top with 78 winners. The pair lead Port's diehard Bobby Borough who is on 76 winners. Well and truly still in the hunt are a string of tipsters each on 74 winners. Former Box Hill mustangs fan Ashtray Dave is one of six tipsters in equal fourth which include Inside Footy scribe Paul Amy, bullants 'Ribby', Coburg's Chris Douglas and seagulls pair IanMeyer and Dave 'Rockford' Files.

HARD ROUND FOR TIPSTERS

It was a very hard round for tipsters and for the second straight week no tipster picked all seven winners. The best of the tipsters was Saraha Bendigo Bombers fan with six winners. There was only one tipster that selected Werribee being Ben who is Werribee hardcore. The top three teams all lost with Williamstown recording a shock 3 point home loss to Bendigo. North Ballarat got rolled at Werribee with third team Casey losing at Box Hill. The jackpot for seven winners for Round 16 is now $90.

NORTH Ballarat has a lot at stake over the remaining four home-and-away rounds in the Victorian Football League.
The Selikirk Roosters have achieved two major objectives.

They locked up another finals appearance early in the season and then sealed a top-four finish with a four-point win over Port Melbourne a week ago.

Now the task at hand is to secure a top-two position and hopefully a home final.

If its draw is anything to go by, North Ballarat should achieve this.

The Roosters face Werribee Tigers (13th), Coburg Tigers (11th), Sandringham (ninth) and Geelong (12th).

THE Gold Coast Suns were brave but fell agonisingly short of pulling off what would have been a great comeback win over Geelong at Skilled Stadium today.

In a game played in good conditions, the Suns were down by 29 points at quarter-time but fought back to hit the front in the third term before being edged out in the last, 13.10 (88) to 11.5 (71).

The first 15 minutes of the last term was a tight affair with neither side able to kick the all important first goal.

It was Geelong who finally broke the deadlock through ruckman Mark Blake but livewire Brandon Matera responded two minutes later to bring the margin back to four points at the 19-minute mark.
