I've been working on "tip drills" all through the off-season, so I expect to be a force to be reckoned with. After downing a Cooper's in honor of the start of the season, this looks like the opening 8 that will propel me to footy legend...

Carlton
Essendon
PORT! PORT! PORT!
Brisbane

Hawthorn
Best of luck everyone! Great to get the new season underway!

Ahhh, It's footy time: Marks, handballs, smothers, tackles, wrestling, tribunals, hit-outs, and free kicks. Time to dust off that jumper, and cool the Coopers. It is time for the coveted quest to the best and fairest in tipping: THE FOOTY BRAIN. Towards that end, I give you the first perfect 8 of the year.
Richmond
Carlton
Essendon (Wayne, what where you thinking?)
PORT PORT
Brisbane
Western Bulldogs
Fremantle
Melbounre
Good luck to everyone this year except edperl ;)

I'll terminate the "edperl watch" relatively early so we all can get some sleep.
As reigning "Footy Brain of 2001" let me reiterate that its a long race and its usually won down the stretch. That said, what a better way to start the season than with the "Magic Eight Ball".
P.S. Although an increasingly accepted tactic, "turtling" is not recommended this early in the season.
Tiges
Big Jack Is Back
Bombers Cats are on life #10
PORT kisses Wayne goodbye in the toilet
Swans this one is tough, I like the old pro Lockett's return
Bullies unleash Scottie West
West Coast old strips buy a one game reprieve
Hawks

So far my wife's so-called "I pick my winners by the animal I like or the color of their uniform" method looks like genius!. The first week has already provided plenty of surprises, and it's only half over. This could be a very challenging year!
