Welcome to HAT Footy Tipping 2026
Round 21 Winner: Jess Lansky (9/9) 181 points. Actual 169
Loyal Carlton fan Jess was one of only two people who managed to find all three upsets for the weekend. This might be the day that team loyalty finally paid off. Speaking of which...
Carlton (24.10) 154 d Brisbane (11.12) 78
The Lions arrived off seven straight wins. Carlton's response was to deliver 16 different individual goalkickers and hand the reigning premiers a 76-point smacking, because apparently nobody told the Blues this fixture was supposed to be a formality. Jagga Smith (28 disposals, 2 goals) took home best afield, but the moment of the night belonged to 18-year-old Harry Dean, son of premiership Blue Peter Dean, who snapped his first-ever AFL goal and sent Marvel Stadium into a frenzy usually reserved for grand finals or free Zooper Doopers.
And so... In the spirit of team loyalty, Carlton fans, meet your 2027 coach...

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:
