Round 9 of the 2011 AFL season has provided another huge week of battle for our eager Dream Team coaches, with the tipping yet again proving to be both an unpredictable and difficult affair.

The ‘Destroyers’ have again claimed top spot overall, leading the way at 19,109 points and are setting their sights on the second half of the season that is fast approaching.

Our winner of Round 9 is Millan and the ‘Red & Black’ team. They finished just in front of the ‘Bollywood Allstars’ by only six points. This competition is definitely heating up!

It was an exciting round of footy this week, keeping many of our keen tipsters on edge until the dying minutes. Several matches proved difficult to pick with some very close margins including the highly anticipated clash between Carlton and Geelong. However for some, namely the Western Bulldogs, Round 9 was a round to forget.

Dave Mitri is our Round 9 Footy Tipping winner, correctly tipping all 8 games and was the closest to the correct margin for the first game of the round. Congratulations Dave, you are now the proud new owner of a Samsung Digital Camera.
