Opening Round kicks off on Thursday and the pre-season has provided plenty of answers, but certain questions can't be answered until the real stuff starts.
Zero Hanger has outlined a topic likely to garner plenty of discussion at each club in the first month of the season.
15Collingwood Magpies
How do the inexperienced bookmarks perform?
For all the talk about the age of the Pies, there's every chance that Joel Cochran, Harvey Harrison, Jack Buller and Charlie West all play in Round 1. The sextet have a combined 27 games between them. The departures of Brody Mihocek and Mason Cox and Bobby Hill's personal leave forces the Magpies to play underexposed players inside 50, which will test the system which has always stood up under Craig McRae. But that system has always been contingent on a watertight defence and injuries to Jeremy Howe and Darcy Moore puts increased responsibility on the likes of Billy Frampton.
