They are but would have to be prepared to cop a bit of stick (good natured of course) from time to time.

Hi everyone, I am new to footy tipping for 2015. I am a long suffering Richmond supporter-they have broken my heart many times. Looking forward to chatting with you all throughout the year.

Welcome bangkokjulia. I am a Swans supporter. Look forward to your comments.

[bangkokjulia]

Thanks ripstanley. I had a big grand final last year-pity about the result.

Chooka understands your feelings for your team because he was a St Kilda supporter unless he changed colors in the off season.

[bangkokjulia]

Ha ha-who is your team Ron?

[Ron19]

Ha ha-who is your team Ron?

Dockers,happy enough with the last two years although of course would have liked to have seen a better result in the finals last year.

[bangkokjulia]

Exactly the way I feel about Richmond Ron.

[GrantSmith]

Collingwood supporters "accepted" or "tolerated"?

Or perhaps "excepted"

Chooka's just a stripe away from being a Collingwood supporter

[bangkokjulia]

Interesting question GrantSmith. Many Collingwood supporters on here?

[Ron19]

Star Fremantle defender Michael Johnson returned to training on Monday morning after being in rehab for the entire pre-season to date.

Johnson had surgery on his back at the end of last season and has been working hard to return to the track.

He didn’t take part in all the drills, but he looked solid in his first hit-out.

I remember someone making an appearance...never heard from again. Shame really. I thought it was good a few were beginning to learn how to use computers

How's Richmond looking for this year? Dustin martin a chance for a high Brownlow count?

Yeah, the only time Collingwood supporters see a computer is when they're on their way to sell a hot one at Cash Converters

Hi Bookman,

Of course at this time of year, everyone has had a fantastic pre-season. Dusty has a lot of competition for the Brownlow. I think he will finish in the top three for Richmond. Trent Cotchin has re-signed for five years-he usually polls well.

A chance for a high Brownlow count or high blood alcohol content I reckon.

Maybe both

I reckon out of all of the coaches, Damien Hardwick and Mick Malthouse are the pump the most.

bangkokjulia, if the Tiges don't make the finals, I think Hardwick will get the flick.

What do you think?

[BookMan]

Here are the current markets for favoritism.

Overall: So hard to make a prediction this early, but hawthorn could be even stronger than they were last year. Some solid experienced recruits and their defense is going to be hard to beat

My team this year: Sydney....they had a stellar season last year but their lack of experience down back could be telling. Malceski gone. Shaw; did the Swans really sign him for another year? Goodes;should have retired end of last year.

[BookMan]

Gold Coast, $2.35 to make top 8!

[bangkokjulia]

Will27,

I think Hardwick will certainly be under the pump this year. If Richmond don't make the finals, I don't think Hardwick will make it to coach the Tiges in 2016. Having said that, the players need to step up and take some responsibility should they under perform. The coach is always made the scapegoat.

No odds for the Bombers to not make the 8? Seems odd...

I think the Swans will be ok without Malco, I think Laids or Rohan can fill that rebounding role. With Johnson out for another season (he'd slot right into the Malco role) it'll be tough but it's not Horses first rodeo...
