Welcome to HAT Footy Tipping 2026
Round 24 Winner: Anthony Bransden (8/9) 178 points. Actual 183
We are done for another year in the tipping sense...Round 24 produced some upsets wiht Carlton getting over the Flagmantle and the Dogs downing the Dees. Saints season ended with a loss with the Suns closing the book on a disappointing season for the Saints. The top 6 is set and next week we see the AFL Cash fueled Week 1 of finals with two wild cards games to lock the final 8 away.
Our winner for round 24 was Anthony Bransden with 8/9 (Hayley got 9/9 but you need to tip to win a weekly prize)!
Andrew Green Memorial Trophy WinnerThe overall leaders board was tight leading into the final round and depending on our tipper's nerves, it was going to go anyway! It ended going to Aidan Donovan who won outright on 160, one clear of Rachael, Michael and Elaine. What was Aidan's stragery?! Well it was to not tip much and let his Ladder Predictions choose his fate and it paid off. Aidan did not tip in round 24, but managed to get 8 and the major win!
Hot Tips Winner #2At then end of Round 24 we had nine tippers still live in Hot Tips # 2 (Away Teams only). As per the rules, we ran a game of chance and our Winner is Marcus Orr and 2nd Place goes to Glenn Wheeler.

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:
