THE TOYOTA AFL Premiership Season is finally ready to blast off - and so is your tipping comp.

Can the Blues get one over the Tigers in the season-opener? What about the Friday night clash when the Pies take on the Cats in a rematch of their epic qualifying final? Can Clarko and Ross lead their new teams to victories over the Perth-based sides? Are YOU brave enough to tip a round one stunner?

Our gun reporters have been tracking the clubs throughout the off-season and they've made their call on the likely round one winners.
