Welcome to HAT Footy Tipping 2026
Round 17 Winner: Duncan McKendrick (7/9) 191 points. Actual 224
Big game footy in the North of the Tassie this weekend, with Devils hosting the Box Hill Hawks at Pengiun (wins to Women and a loss to the Men - but they fought hard). Back along the highway the Dees destroyed the Hawks at UTAS with a 86-9 lead at half-time! This game and the Giants win (at Canberra) over the top of the table Dockers (as the Dockers Bandwaggon hits a speed hump -HAHA) were the other 2 major upsets. It all started back on Thursday, with the Cats coming off a bye and you guessed, they lost (to the rebooted rising Lions at GMHBA). Suns/Pies and Tigers/Blues games were the other two closes games for the round. Josh Fraser still has a spotless record in the AFL coaching caper. All other results going as expected.
Long time HAT tipper Duncan McK. won round 17 with 7/9. No one got 9/9 this week and two people got 8/9 (ladder predication tips), but this doesn't count for the Weekly Prize and we tip to win here at HAT FT HQ! Hot Tips #3 comp started this week (with Hot Tips #2 being a write off) with less damage this week, with only 47 dropping out.
A reminder if you have won a Weekly Prize, Quarterly Tipping or Hot Tips, please send us an email with your EFT or PayID details and will pay you your winnings.

Tipping Groups: Create one today!
Tipping Groups are a group of tippers brought into one table so that the tipping successes and failures can be easily compared and discussed. It could be made up of family members or work colleagues – whatever you like!
Not all tippers will have a Group Table in their Detail Results Email (coming soon on a Monday after the round), but we are working on at least putting you in a Supporters Group Table.
If you like a group set up, send us an email, clicking here with the Group Name (be inventive) and the members you want in it and we'll sort it out. Then every week that group will show on your Detail Results Email (coming soon to a Monday).
Here is an example of what a group looks like from Round 3 results:
