Sherrin

Welcome to the first Footy Post 2008 finals tipping competition.

Entering is free and easy, simply join FootyPost today, then return here to pick your winners. Once the finals kick off, this page will go into lockdown and you will be able to track how many tips you get right, your overall margin and your rank against all the other tipsters.
