JUST five per cent of fans are tipping Carlton to upset Richmond in the blockbuster season opener at the MCG on Thursday, while 78 per cent of fans think Collingwood will be too strong for Geelong on Friday night. Disagree?

You can make your own weekly predictions via a brand new app.

In an exciting development, the Official AFL Tipping App is available NOW for you to download on your smartphones. You can submit your tips with the touch of a button and, thanks to push notification reminders, you'll never be stuck with the away teams again.

The new app will allow you to enter your tips, join personal competitions and check out the rankings. It will also show results from live and completed AFL matches so you can check (and change) your tips while on the go.

AFL Tipping is now open to register where you can create your own competitions to compete against family, friends and co-workers, all while playing for incredible overall prizes. First prize will land you a cool $20,000 in cash as well as the ultimate AFL experience (valued up to $25,000) that includes tickets to the Grand Final, Brownlow Medal and much more!

The best tipper each week will walk away with an AFL Live Pass 12-month subscription as well as an Official AFL Sherrin Football. Prizes of $1000 are also awarded for winners of the famous Gauntlet competition and Pick 5.

The introduction of the app is a wonderful advancement for the tipping landscape and is thanks to Telstra, FanHub and the AFL.

Simply Energy is the major sponsor this season; proudly powering up AFL Tipping.

The Official AFL Tipping App is free in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
