It's customary in Australia for EVERYONE to have an opinion about who's going to win the cup, or otherwise to be dragged into having an interest via an office pool.

Here's a chance to register your interest.

Who do you think is going to win, or do you not GAF?

Not a clue but think I'll plump for Sir Dragonet... Just hoping I can find something to watch it on...

In the office sweep, perhaps now the zoom call sweep, I'd be happiest to draw Tiger Moth followed by Surprise Baby.

At the odds I think at couple around 50s that are worthwhile are Persan & The Chosen One.

+1

AND it's not just one ticket in the office pool - once you have a family it's a ticket for your spouse plus each of your children. So for me at the office its 5 tickets in the sweep (feels like dutching :shock: ).

AND then there is the dilemma as to whether you are in the $2, $5 or $10 sweep.

At our coffee shop this morning it is a $10 sweep.
