After a number of upsets in round 19, we decided to do an update of Craig’s Ladder using his calculations from last week and what is good to put your money on.
We’re now $19.60 in front after getting $9.43 from the 8 games this weekend. Have to wonder when the last time only one favourite in a round of football was got up, if you don’t count this week’s draw.
That puts us $3.43 ahead of the best Herald Sun tipster. For 8 winners, the TAB paid $1496.50. Furthermore, the FootyQuad is a Jackpot of over $132,000.
Predicted Ladder after round 22.
- Saints 22-0
- Cats 19-3
- Magpies 15-7
- Lions 13.5-8.5

- Brisbane’s round 19 draw will see them get ahead of the Dogs to slip into fourth spot.
- The Bombers and Swans only win one more game and miss out on the finals.
- The Hawks get onto a roll and win for the first time this year 3 games straight but miss out on the finals by percentage.

- the Eagles continue their good late season form and win another two games.

Think Hawks winning the next three is a little bit optimistic but apart from that I can not see anything out of the ordinary, maybe expect the Dogs missing out on 4th..

The Hawks have Adel/Rich/Ess in the last three games, but word is Roughie’s gone for the year. That would make the Adel game hard.

Roughead is a big out!
