THE HOSE DOWN APRIL 2025

Footy Tipping Comp Update

We’re not even one month into the AFL and NRL seasons, and already the Footy Tipping comps are getting spicy. At least half of the participants are in it purely to dethrone our reigning champ, Luke, Melbourne’s Warehouse Supervisor, who took out both leagues last year.  

Here’s a look at the ladder for our NRL Comp after 3 rounds: 

1. Anthony (PER) 

2. Luke (MEL) 

3. Rob (HO) 

And the leaders of our AFL Comp after 3 rounds: 

1. Mitch (PER) 

2. Pas (ADL) 

3. Sean (MEL) 

They’ve been quick out of the gates, but it’s a long season – can they hold on ‘til September? We’ll keep you updated!  

Easter Plans

With Easter just around the corner, we thought we’d give you the inside scoop on our team’s more eccentric Easter traditions.  

Steph, our amazing Admin Assistant, is kicking things off with some pumpkin bowling. Imagine those skinny pumpkins painted as bunnies or carrots, and a potato for a bowling ball. Coincidentally, pumpkin soup is also an Easter hit at Steph’s house! 

Over in Customer Relations, Maddie’s hosting an Easter egg hunt. Sounds tame, right? Except her version is for the serious players – no rules, anything goes. If you cop a stray elbow to the face trying to steal from her basket, that’s on you. 

And Claudia, our forward-thinking People & Culture Assistant, delays her Easter celebrations until the day after the official holiday so she can snag those half-price deals. Why didn’t we think of that?! 

No matter what you’re up to or how you celebrate, we wish you a fun and relaxing Easter!
