FRESH off her remarkable prescience in tipping Greater Western Sydney's shock win over West Coast last, Sarah Black is sitting in the top echelon of AFL.com.au's expert AFLW tipping competition ahead of round two.
On equal standing with former player Phoebe McWilliams and perennially good tipster Michael Whiting, Black has played it much safer this week and left the bold calls to her colleagues.
Perhaps emboldened by Sarah's success, both Gemma Bastiani and Nathan Schmook have made big calls this week, with Gemma backing Collingwood in against Fremantle, while Schmooky has gone against the grain in predicting Adelaide to prevail over Carlton.
Only one game properly split the experts, while our dogged St Kilda fans are sticking fat with the Saints again this week.
Check out our experts' tips below.
