GERRY AND IRENE THE EARLY FAVOURITES TO WIN THE 2010 TOTY Award

Hello Tipsters and welcome to a new decade of the Mellas Toty Awards. Well what an eventful decade the 00's were! We had George Mellas winning his first ever Toty Award in 2006 after having been in the tips since their very beginning in 1978. The 00's were a decade for many first time winners - Joe Raudino in 2001, George Esteban in 2004 and Irene Mellas in 2005 (and again in 2009). But the decade belonged to the 2009 inductee ot the Mellas TOTY Hall of Fame, Gerry Mellas who was the Tipster of the Decade with 3 TOTYS(closely followed by Kon Mellas and Irene with 2).

So with the Richmond v Carlton game about to kick off the season tomorrow night - it is again Irene and Gerry who are favourites to win the 1st TOTY of the decade.

As I gave you all some predictions a year ago which went nowhere here are my 2010 procrastinations:

2010 TOTY winner - me

Premiers - St.Kilda

Grand Final - St.Kilda v Adelaide

Wooden Spoon - Melbourne

Brownlow Medal - Richard Tambling

Rising Star - Damian Martin

1st coach to be sacked/leave - Mick Malthouse

Good tipping everyone!!
