Yep, one game over .500!!!
Stop it... things are getting out of hand.
Let's see if we can go one better in Round 8 - and we'll know how realistic that is after Friday's slate of 3 games on ANZAC Day.

Remember our Game Previews are now purely the essentials in 2014 - I'll try to write very little fluff and you'll simply (entertainingly) get my read on each game and of course the Late Mail.

The 'Special Fried Rice' picks have returned but given it is me v me, every week - I'll just be listing my 'SFR' of the week with the FootyTab Starts as the variation aspect to keep things interesting vs just saying 'this team will win this week - guaranteed'. Though at 3 from 7... the other me is still kicking my butt.
HEADS UP: We will have a new episode of NOT The Footy Show - sometime in the next fortnight. So keep an eye on your iTunes Podcast folders for Episode 151 in the near future.
Round 7 Tipping was goodish with 5/8 (started 4 from 5!) - so Let's get to the Tips!
