The HeraldSun has done a ladder predictor after 5 rounds but it's behind a paywall.

In our premiership years we start off in 2nd/3rd then crank it after the bye. If we are 4-1 after 5 rounds Everyone watch out.

I can see us going 4-1. Likely to beat Dogs, saints and GWS often trouble us early in the season though.

Regardless of who we play I just don't think we'll start fast, rather our conditioning and planning will be to build up to September given our age profile.

We often lose season games to Saints and GWS.

Often beat Dogs despite their quality.

Can't see us losing to Blues or Crows.

I'm thinking 4-2. 3-3 is possible but it won't be thanks to the Blues.

Beware of that cheating low life club. First game of the season with a new coach, will be trained up to give this game everything to sell the hope.

Carlton won the first game of the season and the first game for Malthouse and Rattan. Lost Bolton's first game by 9 points

Teague's first game was a good win to us.

Last year we were just 4 points up at the 20 min mark of the last quarter

Just saying beware of Carlton in this first game. Can't take them lightly

Not playing the first game of the season will be a huge advantage to us.

Instead of being rogered by the umps with new interpretations, the Dees and Bulldogs will cop it.

For the first time in ages we will go into our first game of the season with a fair understanding of how the umpires will applying the rules.

The HeraldSun's first six rounds prediction for us:

RICHMOND

Rd 1: Carlton @ MCG (W)

Rd 2: GWS @ MCG (W)

Rd 3: St Kilda @ Marvel Stadium (W)

Rd 4: Western Bulldogs @ MCG (L)

Rd 5: Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval (W)

Rd 6: Melbourne @ MCG (L)

TALLY: 4-2

Coach Damien Hardwick admitted he wasn’t at his best last year and neither was his team. Injuries did not help, either. But all reports out of Punt Rd are that both Hardwick and the Tigers are refreshed and ready for another crack at it. Carlton will be a challenge in Round 1, but the Tigers haven’t lost to the Blues in their opening match of the season since 2012. Richmond then gets a Giants side missing star Toby Greene and a St Kilda outfit that struggled last year. Matches against last year’s two grand finalists — Western Bulldogs and Melbourne — will be tricky. But Hardwick would be fairly happy to get away to a 4-2 start.


Where will your club sit after Round 6?

Melbourne    24
Brisbane       20
Fremantle     20
Geelong        20
Sydney         20
W.Bulldogs    20
Port Adelaide 16
Richmond      16
---------------------
Essendon      12
St Kilda        12
West Coast   12
Carlton          8
GWS Giants   8
Adelaide        4
Hawthorn      4
Collingwood   0
Gold Coast     0
North Melb.    0

More worried about GWS and Saints than Dogs

Should be aiming for 4-1 there. Be happy to split Dogs/Dees games but they aren't guarenteed to carry their form from last yr into the new season.

Very hard to pick the opening 5/6 rounds as teams are prepared differently.

Melbourne won't be 6 for 6. First game against a hungry Bulldogs will be a test. As will Port Adelaide at home in round 4. Then us

The Suns are one team that start the season in full flight, winning games no one predicted, then collapse as the season unfolds

I think the more pressing question is not what the HUN predicts but what does Kane Cornes think  :rollin
