AFL Round 9: Our Best Bets

Our analyst is back for another week and has found some handy bets for you to follow.

WEST COAST EAGLES $3.40 V GOLD COAST SUNS $1.29 – Friday, 8.40pm Optus Stadium

The Gold Coast have turned their season around in recent weeks with two wins followed by a narrow and unlucky loss to Melbourne by five points. That reads well for this match. The Eagles showed improvement last week but were still overrun by the Tigers. The Suns scraped in against the Eagles when they last met last year by three points.

SYDNEY $1.29 v FREMANTLE $3.40 – Saturday, 1.45pm SCG

It’s a clash between two of the most disappointing teams for the 2023 season. The Swans did everything right bar kick straight and deliver to their forwards last week when they lost to Collingwood by 29 points. Fremantle showed improvement when they dispensed of the Hawks by 69 points. This promises to be a tight contest.

NORTH MELBOURNE $4.65 v PORT ADELAIDE $1.17 – Saturday, 2.10pm Blundstone Arena, Hobart.

One of the in-form teams in the competition Port Adelaide, who have won their past five matches against North Melbourne who have lost their past six games. Last year they met at the same venue and the Power won by 69 points. It’s likely to be a similar result.

  • Bet: Port -31.5 at $1.87

HAWTHORN $7 v MELBOURNE $1.05 – Saturday, 4.35pm MCG

It’s one of the wooden spoon favourites Hawthorn versus the second favourite for the flag in Melbourne. The Demons have won their past three matches and the Hawks have lost their past five games. Hawks were competitive against the Demons when they lost by 10 points on April 30, 2022. Before that they drew. Maybe the Hawks could cover the line.

  • Bet: +41.5 points $1.91

BRISBANE LIONS $1.18 v ESSENDON $4.50 – Saturday, 7.25pm Gabba

Brisbane have been dynamic in recent weeks with five straight wins. They have won their three games at the Gabba this season. The Bombers have been playing good football but have lost their past three matches. Last year they upset the Lions at the Gabba by ten points. Without Jordan Ridley its going to be hard to see how the Bombers can stop Brisbane’s dangerous forwards.

  • Bet: + 28.5 points at $1.92

CARLTON $1.87 v WESTERN BULLDOGS $1.87 – Saturday, 7.30pm Marvel Stadium

A lot at stake in this battle between seventh and eighth. The Blues are another contender for the most disappointing team of the season and have had the blowtorch applied to them this week. The Bulldogs have won their past three matches but have only beaten the Dockers, the Hawks and the Giants. These teams usually have tight tussles.

  • Bet: Any other result Tri bet $2.49

ADELAIDE $1.65 v ST KILDA $2.16 – Sunday, 1.10pm Adelaide Oval

It’s the battle of the surprise packets of the 2023 season and promises to be a tight encounter. The Crows were unlucky against Collingwood before being a more than useful effort against the Cats at their home ground. The Saints were unimpressive against North with their victory. St Kilda defeated Adelaide at home last year.

  • Bet: St Kilda $2.16 the win

COLLINGWOOD $1.13 v GWS $5.50 – Sunday, 4.40pm MCG

The competition’s darlings and also premiership favourites Collingwood take on the Giants who are mixing their form. The Magpies are going for five in a row. The Giants tend to play well against Collingwood putting together four wins against them, including two at the MCG, before losing by 11 points last year.

  • Bet: +33.5 points at $1.87
