WELL, that didn’t last long.

After six of our experts were perfect in Round 1, our tipsters crashed back to earth with a thud, Melbourne ruckman Max Gawn the best with six winners.

The towering Demon sits at the top of the 2018 Herald Sun Tipping competition, equal with veteran footy writer Jon Anderson with 14 each.

Ex-players Dermott Brereton and David King are equal second on 13, while last year’s winner Chris Cavanagh has given them a head start, three behind the leaders on 11.
