The last Thursday night footy game... for the 2018 home and away season anyway.
The Wash-up
Last week was an interesting one, starting out wrong and then being really really right. Not just with correct tips, but also accuracy of margins with a few games inside a 2 goal difference.

The Week Ahead
This could be the week that splits your local tipping competitions wide open. Five games expected to be decided by less than two goals. Theoretical 'toin cosses'.
