IT WAS an inauspicious start to the year for most of our tipsters, with only former Hawthorn and Port Adelaide champ Chad Wingard and AFLW expert Gemma Bastiani correctly picking two winners in Opening Round.
They are followed by Sarah Black and Nat Edwards with one point, while eight experts got donuts to kick off the season.

There's a long road ahead, however, so what's in store for us this week? Only three winners have been tipped unanimously by our experts, with Carlton, Hawthorn and Adelaide favoured to claim four points. North Melbourne is getting some love to cause an upset against the injury-hit Western Bulldogs, while only two tipsters are backing Sydney to beat Brisbane in the Grand Final rematch.
