Betting AFL Round 23 Top Matches

An exciting penultimate week of action on the AFL is set for this weekend, with the playoffs likely to take shape depending on the results in Australia’s premier sporting competition.

Only the top eight teams will earn progression through to the Finals Series, meaning that there will be pressure on the clubs sitting between sixth and ninth, with just two points separating the sides.

You can find our picks for the penultimate round of matches in the competition here.

 

West Coast vs Carlton

The round of matches ends with a huge showdown between the West Coast and Carlton on Sunday morning.

All the pressure in this showdown will be on the visiting Carlton, as they must claim victory to ensure that their hopes of finishing in the top eight remain in tact.

They come into this round of matches sitting ninth in the standings after winning 12 of their 21 matches this term, but they have an inferior points difference to Hawthorn, which could ultimately prove costly.

An instant response will be required this weekend after a heavy loss at home against Hawthorn last Sunday.

But, they could come up short in their bid for a top-eight finish, as the West Coast have finally hit a bit of form after winning their last two against the Gold Coast and North Melbourne.

Pick: West Coast (-116)

 

Essendon vs Sydney

The AFL weekend kicks off on Friday morning with a fascinating showdown between Essendon and Sydney.

Sydney have already ensured their progression to the Finals Series after winning 15 of their 21 matches this term to sit at the top of the standings.

However, there is still a lot of work to do for Essendon if they are to join their rivals.

Essendon comes into this round of matches sitting in tenth, but they are just two points outside of the playoff spots.

So far this season, they have won eleven of their 21 matches, with nine of their fixtures ending in defeat.

It could be hard to make a case for Essendon against the table-toppers this weekend, as they come into the round after losing four of their last five matches.

Pick: Sydney (-200)

 

Hawthorn vs Richmond

The pressure will be on Hawthorn this weekend, as they look to take a vice-like grip on eighth spot in the AFL standings.

They come into this round in the final playoff position, and a victory could even see them end the weekend in a much stronger position.

Hawthorn comes into this round of matches after winning 12 of their 21 matches this term, but they rank among the lowest scorers in the current top eight after scoring just 1789 points this season.

However, their chances of victory this weekend will be enhanced based on the fact that they are coming up against the worst attacking side in the AFL in the form of Richmond.

The visitors sit bottom of the standings after winning just twice in their 21 matches this term.

Therefore, it is hard to bet against a Hawthorn side that have won four of their last five in the AFL.

Pick: Hawthorn (-1429)

Essendon vs. GWS Giants

AFL Odds: Essendon +195 vs. GWS Giants -250
Friday, August 18th, 2023 at 2:35 am
GIANTS Stadium, New South Wales, Australia

GWS and Essendon are both tied record-wise with the Western Bulldogs for eighth place but are behind on percentage. The Giants thought they had everything going in the right direction after they beat the Bulldogs 78-73 on July 28. However, GWS has dropped back-to-back contests to Sydney and Port Adelaide to find themselves on the edge of the playoffs.

Essendon has won back-to-back decisions, but not performances the Bombers would brag about. Against West Coast, the worst team in the league, the Bombers were only able to eke out a one-point victory.

The Bombers followed that up by only beating North Melbourne, which is tied with West Coast for the league’s worst record by nine points. GWS will need to put its foot down to get ahead.

St. Kilda vs Geelong

AFL Odds: St. Kilda +125 vs Geelong -155
Friday, August 18th, 2023 at 5:25 am
Marvel Stadium, Victoria, Australia

The Saints have a little bit of breathing room in the standings but still need to be sharp over the final two weeks. St. Kilda has won three of its past four games in varying fashion. The Saints beat up on Richmond and Hawthorne by scoring 93 and 122 points, respectively. St. Kilda also grinded out an ugly 69-61 win over North Melbourne.

The defending flag-winner Cats haven’t had much like this season. While Geelong still has Tom Hawkins and several other key contributors, the Cats have struggled to stay at .500. The Cats have lost three of their past four games. Geelong will need to beat St. Kild and Western in the next two weeks to maintain their slim postseason hopes.

Fremantle at Port Adelaide

AFL Odds: Fremantle +145 at Port Adelaide -182
Saturday, August 19th, 2023 at 2:40 am
Optus Stadium, Western Australia, Australia

Port Adelaide finally broke through after a rough stretch of performances by kicking 21 goals in a 136-85 win over GWS last week. The Power hadn’t kicked more than 20 goals in a match since early June.

Port Adelaide, which sits in fourth place in the standings, had lost their previous four matches before the win last week.

The Dockers are well outside the playoff picture and are hoping to play spoiler in the last few weeks. Fremantle took advantage of West Coast’s ineptitude last week by kicking 20 goals in an ugly 134-33 beatdown.

The Dockers haven’t had that touch all season. In the six matches that proceeded, Fremantle had scored 80 or fewer points.
