Betting AFL Round 24 Top Matches

An exciting regular season of action in the AFL draws to its conclusion this weekend, as the final round of matches before the playoffs will be played.

Only the top eight teams will progress to the playoffs, meaning that there will be important battles for points on the 24th round of matches this weekend.

You can find out more about the leading matchups across the coming weekend in Australia below, as well as our picks.

 

Writer’s Picks for Betting AFL Round 24

Melbourne vs Collingwood

The pressure in the opening match of the final round will be on Collingwood, as they must claim a big-scoring victory on the road against Melbourne to stand any chance of finishing in the top eight places.

They come into this final round of matches sitting in tenth, and they are currently four points adrift of eighth-placed Carlton.

However, only a victory can put pressure on the sides above them in the standings this weekend.

Their chances of victory could be increased based on their recent form after winning three of their last four.

However, they are winless in their last three on the road since a victory at North Melbourne in June.

Despite that, it looks challenging to take on Collingwood on a massive day for the team.

AFL Pick: Collingwood

 

Hawthorn vs North Melbourne

It has been an excellent return to form for Hawthorn this term, as they have quickly bounced back after missing out on a place in the playoffs last term following a 16th place finish in the standings.

This term, they are within touching distance of a playoff berth, and a favorable result in front of their home fans on Saturday will see them get over the line.

They are among the lowest scorers in the top eight, but they have built an excellent defensive structure in the AFL this term.

North Melbourne have already exited the tournament, and they will be playing for nothing more than pride after winning just three of their 22 matches this season.

Hawthorn look hard to oppose after winning each of their last six, which includes a very impressive display when securing victory against Richmond last time out.

AFL Pick: Hawthorn

 

Carlton vs St Kilda

An important final day assignment is set for Carlton this weekend, as their target of finishing in the playoff places is in their own hands.

A victory for the home team will secure their place in the top eight, while a defeat could open the door for Fremantle to pounce.

St Kilda have already exited contention for a playoff spot this term, as they look set to end the campaign in 13th after winning ten of their 22 matches.

Carlton picked up a vital victory in their previous outing in the competition after beating West Coast to maintain their advantage in the top eight.

However, they have still lost three of their last four matches.

Therefore, the preference could be for St Kilda to upset the odds on the road this Sunday after recording victories in their last three matches in the AFL.

AFL Pick: St Kilda

Collingwood Magpies vs. Essendon Bombers

AFL Odds: Collingwood -30.5; Essendon +30.5 / Collingwood -558; Essendon +342 / O/U 173.5

MCG, Victoria, Australia

The Bombers took a devastating loss to GWS last week. Life won’t get any easier for Essendon this week, as the Bombers will have to take on a Collingwood side that is hoping to close out its first minor premiership in over a decade. Essendon has struggled to score against other top opponents this season.

The Bombers kicked 11 goals during Essedon’s 90-77 loss to Collingwood back in April. The Magpies’ defense has struggled as of late. After limiting teams to 68.5 points through 19 rounds, Collingwood has conceded 105 points to Hawthorn, 101 to Geelong, and 124 to Brisbane over the past months.

The Magpies have had issues with the midfield and injuries in defense. Collingwood won’t allow those woes to prevent them from closing out first place in the standings.

Geelong Cats vs. Western Bulldogs

AFL Odds: Geelong +8.5 vs. Western -8.5 / Geelong +121 vs. Western -192 / O/U 165.5

Marvel Stadium, Victoria, Australia

The defending premieres, Geelong, are in 11th place and already out of the race. The Cats, who are 10-11-1 on the season, however, still have a chance to play spoiler for Western. The Bulldogs need to be Geelong on the road for the first time in 20 years to have a chance to make the finals.

Western would also need Carlton to help out and knock off GWS. The Bulldogs struggled to kick straight in the first meeting between these two teams, a 97-75 Geelong kick.

While Western ended up having three more scoring shots than Geelong, the Cats had five more goals. The Bulldogs have been in poor form as of late.

Western took a loss to West Coast, which is 3-19, during the last round of competition. Geelong will defend the home field and clip the Bulldogs.

Carlton Blues vs. GWS Giants

AFL Odds: Carlton -5.5; GWS +5.5/ Carlton -158; GWS +102 / O/U 168.5
Saturday, August 26th, 2023 at 5:50 AM
Marvel Stadium, Victoria, Australia

The Giants put an emphatic beatdown on Essendon last round, winning by 126 points, to make their chances of qualifying for the finals not as harrowing. The 25-goal performance was a barrage that GWS hasn’t put on any other side this season. 

GWS had lost two of its past three games previously. Carlton has grinded out eight consecutive victories. The Blues will want to try and protect their fifth-place spot in the standings, but depending on other results this weekend, they may try to change their strategy.

GWS had lost two of its past three games entering this contest. One of the Giants’ losses came to Port Adelaide, which is one of the best teams in the league.

GWS’ coach has described this contest as boom or bust for his team, and the Giants should deliver for their head coach.
