Gold Coast - 10 goals
Sydney - 8 goals
Brisbane - 4 goals
West Coast - 6 goals
Giants - 3 goals
Adelaide - 2 goals
Fremantle - 1 goal
Hawthorn - 4 goals

 

[Stratton_Gun]

No reason why we shouldn't be beating Geelong as few will now argue we are the stronger team. Would be quite disappointed with a loss

 

[Power Raid]

geez I hate Sunday twilight times

Well if its any consolation for you, its local time...so this is something like 7pm lol

 

[aussierulesrules]

With any amount of luck we'll only have 3-4 new injuries by then and will be able to field a team. Fingers crossed!

 

[Jim Dixon]

It's the Dogs-Eagles game where I am really scratching my head. I'm clear with my tips on most of the rest but I have no idea about this one.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

I hate living in NSW sometimes, coping every single Swans and GWS match.

 

[Ashton Agar]

NAB Challenge has been good but is over not a week too soon. Bring on the real stuff!

 

[Milanista28]

We'll beat the Swans regardless of the tribunal outcome I reckon.

Not bloody likely

Tough game, personally I'm finding Adelaide/North harder to pick though.

Pies are long odds to beat Brisbane.

 

[Suma Magic]

If Essendon aren't suspended I could see them winning.

 

[WWSD]

Don't be surprised if St Kilda beat GWS in Round 1. The Saints will get back 6-7 best 22 players and it's at Etihad. The Saints did actually beat them there last year at the venue.

 

[OhDustinMartin]

CARLTON - TIGES
Interesting game. Both sides probably have the talent to beat each other, but are about as unpredictable as Lady GaGa's costume choices.
Tiges by 20 if they turn up

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Incredibly nervous for the season opener, don't think I can stomach another Carlton comeback.

Should be a great round of footy though, can't fault the AFL on their fixturing here.

 

[Hammer#8]

Actually a hard first round to tip.

A lot of those are 50/50 contests really.

I hate living in NSW sometimes, coping every single Swans and GWS match.

Experienced that last year and the same this year probably, it's ridiculous. Lucky I've got a good streaming site

Same thankfully.

Carl v Rich - Tipping this one to be a demolition
Melb v GC - Close. 3 goal Suns win.
Syd v Ess - 5 or 6 goals
Lions v Coll - Pies by 2 goals
Dogs v WCE - Eagles by 3 goals. Depends on Kennedy. Play like we did againt Collingwood and this will go the other way.
Saints v GWS - Close. Saints by 2. If the Giants can shut down Riewoldt they take home the chocolates.
Ade v NM - Tough to pick. Roos just.
Freo v Port - Port should win, wouldn't be surprised to see Freo get up though.
Haw v Gee - Hawks by 5 or 6 goals.

 

[HBFlanker]

Cant see the pies beating Brisbane with no taggers.

Rockliff and Beams will run riot.

 

[Heir_Apparent]

I thought I would chime in and just inform everyone that Collingwood are going to get flogged by Brisbane, 10+ goals is absolutely on the cards.
They have looked sharp all NAB while our last 2 matches have been horrible to watch as a supporter, not to mention they smashed us last year in round 21 I think it was, at the MCG too, this is at the GABBA. I will probably be turning it off at half time.
I reckon Brisbane are huge finals chances this year and will surprise everyone, that midfield is now scary with 2 Beamsies.
