Hawthorn and Sydney are set to bolt out of the blocks, and SuperFooty reckons the cards have fallen the right way for North, Richmond and the Eagles.
On the other side of the coin, Collingwood plays four 2013 finalists in the first five rounds, with the only exception the Kangaroos, who most pundits expect to leap into the eight this season.
ROUND 1 Collingwood v Fremantle, Etihad StadiumCOLLINGWOOD
Fremantle (ES), Sydney (ANZ), Geelong (MCG), Richmond (MCG), North Melbourne (MCG)
Prediction: 1-4
Very tough early test for Nathan Buckley's revamped side. The Pies usually win at ANZ Stadium and have a good recent record against Geelong, but they will have to be at their best to keep the streaks alive. Collingwood hasn't lost to Richmond since 2007 so we'll give the Pies that one.
