Monash Memo - 12 September 2001

Back to this edition's story list

It's no big deal but ....

Scaling the heights of footy tipping greatness, Brett Adams from ITS services at Caulfield has only one regret - he didn't enter a bigger competition.

Brett's competition consisted of only three people, but with a final score of 124, as far as Memo can tell, he topped all Monash's footy tipping competitions and also beat most celebrity tipsters in the daily press.

While Brett just beat Rosalba Drummond from Research Grants and Ethics Branch, who came in with a score of 123 points, it emerges Rosalba was working under a handicap - she had picked her winners seven weeks in advance before going on leave (no she won't pick your lottery numbers for you).

When asked the secret of his tipping success, Brett, who plays for the Waverley Blues in the Eastern Football League, says he tried to use player psychology.

"I do look at the form of the teams, but I tried to put myself into the players' shoes to get an idea of how they might feel each week and what's going on at the club," he said.
