2022 AFL Round 2 Betting Predictions Round 2 features Buddy’s quest for 1000 goals on Friday night footy, the Blues search for a 2-0 start and a GF rematch between the Tigers and Giants. Western Bulldogs (17th) vs Carlton Blues (5th) The Dogs started the season with a 26 pt loss against the Dees as they will rue a slow start in the first quarter. However, Bailey Smith was one their best on field with 33 touches and 11 tackles. Carlton come off a rare Round 1 victory over the Tigers on Thursday after a huge comeback in the 4th quarter. Cripps was easily best on ground with 3 goals and 30 dispos ..read more

2022 AFL Round 1 Betting Predictions Round 1 of the AFL season features a Grand Final rematch, the Sydney derby and a potential top 4 preview between the Lions and Power. Melbourne Demons vs Western Bulldogs The Dees begin their premiership defence at the MCG with a mouthwatering rematch against the Dogs. Melbourne comes into 2022 with a very similar squad and they’ll be expecting to finish around the top 4 again. Their backline will likely be tested in Round 1 with a few injuries to May and Petty. However, the midfield is their strength with the likes of Oliver and Petrecca coming off great s ..read more

AFL 2022 Brownlow Medal Winner – Top 5 Ollie Wines ($6) – It was a huge and probably unexpected victory by Wines in 2022 as he picked up a massive total of 36 votes to beat the Bont by 3. Winning back to back Brownlow medals is a tough challenge for any player and I just think there are better value options at this stage. However, Wines should be a lock and a safe bet for the top 10. Marcus Bontempelli ($7) – Even in a stacked midfield, The Bont picked up 2nd place in 2021 with 33 votes. He’s hard to ignore as the Bulldogs captain and I see him as a safe bet to finish in the top three. I think ..read more

AFL 2022 Premiership Winner Prediction Melbourne Demons – For the first time since 1965, the Demons are the defending champions in an AFL season. With the likes of Petracca and Oliver in their prime, the Dees are poised to defend their title. It’ll be interesting to see how they back up from a Premiership and the pressure that comes with being the team everyone wants to beat. But I wouldn’t expect them to fall out of the top 4 with so much talent across the ground. Western Bulldogs – The biggest question mark on the Dogs is how they respond after letting a 3 goal lead slip in the third quarter ..read more

AFL Grand-Final Melbourne Demons vs Western Bulldogs, Optus Stadium, 25/9/21, 7.15pm Well, here it is, the last Saturday in September. We didn’t think we would get there but the AFL has done a fantastic job of somehow completing this season at the highest standard. The Wild West will host the grand-final this year between two teams that you can say most definitely deserve to be there. The Demons were ladder leaders for most of the year and then secured the minor premiership with their last kick of the regular season, while the Dogs slipped out of the top four and had to go the long way around ..read more

Brownlow Medal Top 3   Clayton Oliver – Is my favourite for the 2021 Brownlow Medal. His elite running and pure skills has led Melbourne to a grand-final this year and has been unstoppable in the midfield. Very clean around the centre clearances and runs all day, which has been hard for the opposition to stop him. Clayton has added another element to his game which is a goal kicking midfielder and been very accurate. The bookies have him at $3.75 and polling around 30 votes. I doubt he gets 30 because the Demons have had a great year and others will steal votes off him but when the Demons ..read more

AFL Finals week 3 Melbourne Demons vs Geelong Cats, Optus Stadium, 10/9/21, 7.50pm What a cracking game this will be to kick of the third week of the final, with two teams who have been up the top end of the ladder for all of Season 2021 facing off in a prelim final to make it into the big dance. The Demons last played in a prelim in 2018 at this exact ground and had their pants pulled down. Not kicking a goal till after half-time. If the Demons start well and put those thoughts out of their heads, they will win this game, but the start is crucial. The Cats come into this game as the underdog ..read more

AFL Finals week 2 Geelong Cats vs GWS Giants, Optus Stadium, 3/9/21, 7.50pm It’s a do or die clash between two teams who have had interesting weeks, to say the least. The Giants have been dealt the biggest blow before a ball has even been kicked and that is because they have lost their star player Toby Greene for making contact with an umpire. Silly, Toby, but this Giants love being the underdog and can cause a massive upset on Friday night. The Cats were smashed all over the park last weekend versus the Power and didn’t look like kicking a score. That will change this weekend and they will be ..read more

AFL Finals week 1 Port Adelaide vs Geelong Cats, Adelaide Oval, Aug 27th, 7.50pm Cracking match to kick off the finals series between two teams that play very fast footy. The Cats last weekend blew a chance to finish on top of the ladder losing to Melbourne after the siren, in a game they were leading by 40+ points at one stage. Positive for the Cats here is that they beat the Power a few weeks ago at this venue and they welcome back Mitch Duncan. The Power are flying, knocking off the Dogs last weekend to finish in the top two. They are a serious side that are in form, and they look the team ..read more

AFL Round 23 Western Bulldogs vs Port Adelaide Power, Marvel, Aug 20th, 7.50pm Massive game here to decide the top four. I believe this year if you are a chance of winning the flag you need to finish top four and get a home final. Port have a great chance of hosting two finals even if they finish out of the top four due to the Covid issues in Victoria, as games might be played in Adelaide with a crowd. The Dogs over the past three weeks have been poor and with the loss of Bruce, they are finding it hard to find a way to goal. If they get that in order they will be back to their best. Bont migh ..read more
