Howdy all - how good is it to have the footy back!  A great week to kick off the season with a number of close games and a few upsets too.

As Walesy recently reminded us all, 2011 is the chance to have your say on who will pick up votes as the rounds roll on - and it looks as if many of you have already done so.  Along with your aggregate picks, Ill also be giving my opinion too.  This years formula has been tweaked to allow for players who have polled well in recent times, as I mentioned in my previous post.  Without further ado, here are the predictions for round 1
