Live: Giants, Hawks clash in Sydney before premiers open campaign in Brisbane
An injury-hit GWS sides open their season against Hawthorn in Sydney, before the Brisbane Lions unfurl their premiership flag against the Bulldogs.
The Giants have had a nightmare preseason with injuries and they will take on the Hawks without star players Tom Green, Josh Kelly, Sam Taylor and Aaron Cadman.
Last year's preliminary finalists Hawthorn will start favourites, but they will also be missing key personnel including Will Day and Cam McKenzie.
Later, the Lions will begin their tilt at a third-straight premiership at the Gabba when they take on Western Bulldogs under lights on Saturday night.
The spotlight will be on Lachie Neale, who gave up the Brisbane co-captaincy earlier this year amid his marriage breakdown.

Toby Greene has begun in the midfield for the Giants, with Jake Stringer botching a tough set shot for goal to register the first score of the game. The Hawks would have been buoyed by the strong mark taken by Mitch Lewis in response.
However, a 50m penalty against Massimo D’Ambrosio for being in the protected zone has gifted Jake Riccardi a goal from about 25 metres.
The weather is a big watch in Sydney, with dark skies now hovering. Rain and possible lightning have been forecast. We’ll see.

Key forward's 'tricky' injury adds to Giants' woes ahead of Hawks clash
Adam Kingsley isn't in panic mode over GWS's injury list but wasn't expecting to lose Aaron Cadman for the season starter
RISING Greater Western Sydney forward Aaron Cadman is managing a "tricky" pelvis issue and won't be pushed to return ahead of time, despite the club's star-studded injury list.
Cadman didn't play in the official practice match against Sydney, and then trained a few days later, whereupon the injury flared again. On Tuesday, he was listed as being out for two weeks with a pelvic problem.
The Giants' injury list is littered with first-choice players, including Toby Bedford (hamstring), Leek Aleer (groin), Brent Daniels (hamstring), Sam Taylor (hamstring), Darcy Jones (knee), Josh Kelly (hip) and Tom Green (ACL).
