Welcome to HAT Footy Tipping 2026
Round 1 Winner:Michael Verrier (8/9) 142 points. Actual 146
Sorry for the delay in the getting the results out to you! This time the Trained Monkey's banana supply was compromised due to the soaring diesel costs
Congrats to long time HAT Tipper, Michael Verrier with 8/9 - yep it was a tough week to get all 9 right with the average being 5.8/9. It is the last round for a while with all 9 matches due to the pesky byes the AFL have due to the Round 0 stupidity. We recommend you only using your Wildcard (double point) when there is the full 9 games in a Round. Also make sure you check out the Results sheet, as it has where everyone is, plus some general stats, including Quartely Tipping and the Hot Tips comp info...are you still in it?!
New Tippers can still enter the tipping comp - just send click the Register button on the HAT Home page. Good luck for Round 2!

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:
