NON-MFC: Rd 01 2023

Who are you tipping in Round 1?

[Bitter but optimistic 22,241]

I must say I feel more warped than usual - I just backed Carlton to roll the Tiggers.

[Diamond_Jim 12,592]

Time to adopt the self interest tipping system

Wins by the Saints, Port and Suns would be nice

Cats over Pies to avoid a week of Pie worship in the media

^ This, but I, unfortunately, live near Geelong, so either way will be insufferable

[Demonland 72,219]

Not sure why putting Round 1 AFL fixture into Google produced GWS playing both South Australian teams. 

[Sir Why You Little 37,046]

Carlton v Richmond is so hard to pick 

i have changed my tip 3 times already 

Both sides have big deficiencies

Noticed that too, it's a worry because I rely on google for the fixture a lot. 

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

I think Carlton win by 24+, can't understand the hype about the Tigers.

I'm often wrong so get on Toiges tonight and for Top 4.

The hype is because of Taranto and Hopper, time will tell if it’s warranted. I personally don’t think so and in many ways this season is their last roll of the dice for Martin, Cotchin & Riewoldt. I’ve tipped the tigers on the back of they know how to win and Carlton is overrated and Walsh isn’t playing. I have tigers playing finals but that’s about it.

[dl4e 5,851]

Carlton ( really can't make mind up )

Who cares ( they can both perish down the bottom of the ladder )

West coast

Bears

MFCSS

Sydney ( not convinced )

Adelaide

Essendon

Fremantle

AFL assistance package.  Obviously one of the SA teams will not turn up, will forfeit the game and GWS will be gifted 4 points.

Agree @Dee Zephyr. Will be lucky to make the 8. Will quite possibly fall off the cliff.

I usually wait for the AFL to post their nice graphic of the round's matches on Social Media but I think I will open this thread earlier in the week as a place for the discussion of the upcoming non-Demons matches. Currently there really isn't the place on here for that type of discussion so we'll see how it goes.

So many pundits are still very bullish on the Tigers and I just don't understand it.

These same pundits will be saying the Blues are strong Premiership contenders when the Blues have a big win tonight.  God help us.

[DubDee 25,899]

Carlton should win easily. The Tigers are old and the Blues forwards are the best in the comp

I predict the talking points to be West Coast winning well and Port winning.  I reckon Port will do well this year and beat the Lions first up.  They have some new recruits and it would be typical of Ken to pull a great season out of his backside when he on the chopping block

[Deebauched 1,220]

Freo could end up with a North implosion style 2016 season.

Their draw as a possible finals contender is astonishingly soft. Their first 5 are all gimmies not incl Bulldogs in R6 Perth.

Only 4 tough games by R16. They have a tough July early August thats it.

If theyre not top 4 by R16 theyre junk. 

They could be on top by R16 then crash  to 6- 8 by R23.

Gil McLacklan handed them a finals berth on a silver platter. Hes a living train wreck that guy. Worst ever commissioner.

The AFL finally have their opening round blockbuster between Carlton and Richmond.

Can someone tell me when they became a thing for the opening round.

Of course most games have been a snorefest but even I will watch this one until half time
