Welcome to HAT Footy Tipping 2026
Round 5 Winner: Joel Granger (8/9) 189 points. Actual 200
The AFL gathered all in South Australia to play 9 games when all teams came out to play. We had some exciting games, we had some not so exciting games, but what we did have is the Dons breaking their losing streak over the Dees. Only 4.1% of tippers tipped this game correct. Two Dons supporters tipped correctly. Hats off to Nikolas and Karen for sticking with your team!
Congrats to Joel Granger - for 8 out of 9 tips correct. 22 other tippers got 8 as well, but Koel had the closest total points for Game 1.
REMINDER - ENTRY FEE OVER DUE! If your name is in red on the results sheets or when you login - this means you have not paid your entry fee of $30 - please get it in ASAP as round 5 is the deadline (see Rules for more info). Thanks - This keeps the Trained Bean Counter Monkeys happy!
New Tippers can still enter the tipping comp - just send click the Register button on the HAT Home page. Good luck for Round 6!

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:
