AFL Round 16 Tips

Thursday 26/6/25

Port Adelaide and Carlton were disappointing last week, but Carlton played terribly against North Melbourne, and that could be tough to bounce back from.

The Blues lead after quarter time before allowing the Kangaroos to score six quick goals, and although they made a late run, they never recovered.

Port Adelaide plays well enough at home to take the $1.73 head-to-head price to start the week.

It was good to see Sydney find its best form when beating Port last week, but the celebrations might not last long against the Bulldogs.

It was never going to be a challenge when facing the Tigers, but the 135-56 win should send a statement to the Swans this week. The Bulldogs can pile on the points quickly, which always makes them a winning threat.

The –9.5 line is worth taking for a team playing better footy.

Western Bulldogs by 20

Saturday 28/6/25

The SUNS had a good chance to beat GWS last week but didn’t take their opportunities late in the game, and Melbourne could take advantage of their dip in confidence.

The Demons haven’t been at their best in 2025, but they have played well at times. Being $3.05 underdogs could feel like an insult, so we expect them to play better than expected on the road.

This game is more about the attitude of Melbourne, and if it comes to play, it should be a close contest.

North Melbourne is covering spreads on a weekly basis now, and congrats to the punters who got $4 for them in head-to-head markets last week.

Beating Hawthorn could prove problematic, but this team is playing with enough confidence to keep it close against a top team, and +32.5 points is a lot. They need to stop allowing teams to have easy uncontested markets, but when they ramp up the pressure, they’re a solid team.

It all comes down to converting chances and forcing mistakes, so take the line.

Hawthorn by 24

The West Coast Eagles are having another horrendous year, and after being thumped by the Bulldogs last week, they have another big loss coming to the Magpies.

Collingwood is the best team in the AFL competition, and its players will enjoy getting many goal-scoring opportunities this Saturday night.

It will be a one-sided game, and although –56.5 is a big line to cover, it’s not hard when playing West Coast.

Collingwood by 66

Richmond is another team that’s not too hard to beat, which is why AFL odds have the Crows at –34.5.

They are well-rested and ready to produce the goods, and although Adelaide plays better at home compared to the MCG, it should have too much firepower for the struggling Tigers.

We’re happy to include Adelaide –34.5 in our AFL multi picks this week.

It’s hard to know what the Dockers will produce week-to-week, but we think they’re a better team than St Kilda.

They occupy sixth spot on the AFL ladder compared to 15^th for St Kilda, and that’s why the Dockers are –22.5 favourites. They also play at home, which only helps their chances of covering the spread.

Include the favourites in your AFL bets, and it should close out the week in fine style.
