IT'S BACK, and bigger than ever.

No, we're not talking about the AFLW competition, but AFL.com.au's expert tipping competition, which kicks off ahead of the actual footy on Friday night.

Fresh off winning the men's league version, our man in Queensland Michael Whiting is ready to take out the tipping equivalent of the McClelland Trophy. 

While he did also win the AFLW tipping comp last season, he'll have to win both honours in the same calendar year to really assert his claim as the king of tipping.
