AFL tips 2022: Round 2 selections from Herald Sun tipsters

Three tipsters were one game shy of a perfect round to kick-off the season. Who will they choose in round 2?

After a fascinating opening round, this weekend shapes as a difficult one for tipsters.

Punters are split on the Richmond and Greater Western Sydney, who will both be looking to avoid a 0-2 start, while the opening two games of round 2 could go either way.

Last year’s bottom-four sides Collingwood and Adelaide will do battle at the MCG in what looms as a tight tussle, and Essendon will be vying to turn its poor start around against Brisbane.

Not sure who to pick? See who our experts are backing ahead of round 2.
