Only one game has truly divided the tipsters this weekend – our 94.7fm broadcast match between Geelong West (seventh) and Anakie (sixth).

The Roos return from the break in promising form having collected wins over North Geelong and Belmont so far this month with a controversial 12-point loss to Werribee in the middle.

Nevertheless the tipsters have still backed the home side who entered the bye off of a 101-point defeat to Bell Post Hill before a lackluster crowd.

Last time they met, scores were level early in the final term before the Giants ran away with their first away-win since 2015.

Geelong West selected by:

Dale Smythe (GDFL Media), Hannah Driscoll (Weekly Times), Adam Skrobalak (St Kilda, AFL), Ricky O’Toole (GDFL Legend), Tom Perrett (Western Jets, TAC Cup), Grubby Cations (GDFL Media), Alex Tigani (GDFL Media), Noel Fanning (GDFL Media), Toby Boyle (Adcell Group), John Mitchell (GDFL Media), Dick Philpott (GDFL Media) and Brent Grgic (GDFL Legend).

Anakie selected by:

Nick Wade (Geelong Advertiser), Tom King (Krock Football) and The Optimist.

Corio has had another eventful week, this time around the contract of senior coach Brett Nolan has been ceased with Barry O’Toole to warm the coaches chair for 2018 appointment Andy Challis.

Regardless of the outcome next season, Corio still has four games of football to play and continue to train as a group.

Sounds like a silly statement however its been reported that the Devils did not even hold training sessions in the final weeks of their winless 2015 season.

Corio legend Ricky O’Toole is the only tipster to back the home side in support of his cousin Barry.

Winchelsea need a 30-point win to climb to ninth or even a (highly unlikely) 163 point win to return to the top eight.

Corio selected by:

Ricky O’Toole (GDFL Legend) and The Optimist.

Winchelsea selected by:

Dale Smythe (GDFL Media), Hannah Driscoll (Weekly Times), Adam Skrobalak (St Kilda, AFL), Tom Perrett (Western Jets, TAC Cup), Grubby Cations (GDFL Media), Alex Tigani (GDFL Media), Noel Fanning (GDFL Media), Toby Boyle (Adcell Group), John Mitchell (GDFL Media), Dick Philpott (GDFL Media), Nick Wade (Geelong Advertiser), Tom King (Krock Football) and Brent Grgic (GDFL Legend).

Half the GDFL will inject optimism into the Belmont Lions for the upset win of the season.

However the tipsters are not convinced.

A congratulations to Reece Holwell on his 50th senior GDFL game, a favourite to many of the league’s supporters for his Joel Selwood like ruthless onfield endeavors.

Belmont selected by:

The Optimist.
