AFL
Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News.
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.
