MAX LAUGH (foxfooty.com.au and back-to-back Fox Footy Tipping Contest winners)

Winner and lead: Richmond by 16 points – “These have been the best two teams for almost two years, but to be the man you still have to beat the man – and I haven’t seen the cats. Also, as a Geelong fan, there was no way I could tempt fate by tipping them. ”
