ISTS AFL Pools 2024 - Round 8 Results
ISTS Footy Pools for 2024 - Round 8
The Miami Grand Prix is on at 5:30am Adelaide time on Monday morning so I am going to wrap this up quickly while I watch a bit of The Bounce on Foxtel.
The Showdown was equally tipped for both sides but despite their injury list, the Power had their chances but didn't convert shots to goal efficiently and the Crows were able to make them pay to win the match comfortably in the end. 28 Showdowns to Adelaide and 27 to Port. But the Power have their home Showdown to come later this season.
The biggest upset this week was the hawks getting up over the Doggies which was only predicted by 1% of us! Collingwood beating the Blues was an upset giving that only 25% of us picked them. Presumably the other75% of us didn't think the Pies had the form. And the stunning defeat of the Cats by the devilish Demons was also only predicted by 25% of us who correctly guessed that Geelong were due to lose one.
So surely that all sounds too difficult for anyone to get all 9 matches right - right? Let's all look together!!
