“Don’t revenge tip. I often get angry with a team that let me down the previous week so tip against them out of spite. You have to remove the emotional scars of the week before.”

MARK ROBINSON (Herald Sun Chief Football Writer)

“Try not to pick against Fremantle at home. Suspect they will be difficult to beat.”

GERARD WHATELEY (Fox Footy AFL360 Host)

“Never mind the naysayers – tip from the heart. There’s nothing sweeter than when your team wins unexpectedly and you pick up a tip on the field.”

DAVID KING (Fox Footy Commentator)

“Don’t try and win footy tipping in the first three rounds. Straight bat early and once your eye is in, take some risks.”

MICK MCGUANE (Herald Sun Football Columnist)

“Don’t ignore gut feel. In an even competition, don’t get influenced by the betting market. Upsets occur regularly early in a new season as clubs are at different stages of their programs.”

Jon Ralph says look for teams with plenty to play for – there’s nothing more motivating than responding to a loss.Source:Supplied

JON RALPH (Herald Sun football writer)

“My only real aim is to beat Dermott Brereton in the footy tips which usually isn’t hard, but I am big on the bounce-back factor for teams who have been embarrassed. So often a quality team will be written off after a poor performance so tapping into that motivation has kept me from plummeting too low on the Herald Sun footy tips over the years.”
