Melbourne v Western Bulldogs - Dogs in a ripper tonight
Carlton v Richmond - Richmond, the big improvers of 2022
St.Kilda v Collingwood - Saints to start the Pies pain
Geelong v Essendon - Cats at home
GWS v Sydney - I don't believe the Swans hype
Brisbane v Port Adelaide - Port don't win in Brisbane
Hawthorn v North Melbourne - Spoon day sorted early
Adelaide v Fremantle - Only coz it's here
West Coast v Gold Coast - Only coz it's there

This looks to be a ripper round.

-2 x potential top 4 clashes with tonight's game and then the one at the Gabba.
-St Kilda is the potential blow out winner for mine.
-The rest of the games look a toss of the coin
-Gold Coast to be the somewhat surprise victors this round, have a history of starting seasons well, WC injury ravaged already.

Gold Coast are favourites. Have they ever won in the west?

A little bit of early season sloppiness from the Oracle, i'll back him in to improve, he's better than that.

[Wedgie]

In fairness it is the Cats home game.

In fairness it is the Cats home game.

Good early preparation for if they end up with a home final.

Melbourne v Western Bulldogs - celebrate the unveiling of the flag in style
Carlton v Richmond - Richmond, because they are playing Carlton
St.Kilda v Collingwood - Collingwood wont be as bad as people are predicting
Geelong v Essendon - Cats at home
GWS v Sydney - GWS will be around the mark all year
Brisbane v Port Adelaide - Be a close one but the bears in Brisbane
Hawthorn v North Melbourne - The Roos will be big improvers
Adelaide v Fremantle - Freo have a lot more class in their side than the Crows
West Coast v Gold Coast - might even be a draw

[Armchair expert]

I'm not a fan of the premiership rematch being round 1 let alone first game of the season.

I'd have it round 4
