Welcome to HAT Footy Tipping 2026
Round 14 Winner: Eric Hermanis (7/7) 177 points. Actual 185
We started the round with an upset (17.3% tippers tipped correctly) and the rise of the Pride of South Australia team in Adelaide thrashing over the Dogs (who last week smashed the Hawks)...ponder that! Kardinia Park saw white and the Dimma/AFL's Suns went down. The Dees did what was needed over the Dons. North with their home game at Optus won by a smallest of margins over the Eagles. Sat night saw the Swans win at AO against the Port. On Sunday a home Tigers game at Bellerive Oval with Fagan's men getting the job done. The round endeded in a cracker with Saints and Giants going blow for blow with the Saints holding on by 8 points (anyone?: Knock Knock...).
Long time Tipper, Eric H got all 7 correct with the closest total points for Game 1 - congratulations. We also had Hot Tips (Comp #1) end. It came down to three: Lindsay, Craig and Michael, but Lindsay held on by Hot Tipping the Roos. This means Hot Tips Comp #2 starts this week (round 15). As a twist, you can only select away teams...Choose wisely!

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:
