Season 2022: Round 1 Preview

Sadly, work and life will get in the way of our more traditional detailed round previews this season. Wish we could still provide the in-depth analysis of the previous two years but not to be...

We will still put up weekly picks to see if we can beat the other tipsters again this year, so check back every week for a short guide and a running total. Can't wait for crowds to be back and footy to look a little more "normal" again.

Best Matchup - Richmond v Carlton (purely from an intrigue point of view)

Best Underdog - Western Bulldogs

Player To Watch - Nick Daicos
