AFL Round 22 Tips
—
Friday 11/8/23
7:50pm Collingwood Magpies vs Geelong Cats @ MCG
The Magpies are facing some injury woes, and they didn’t look good when losing last week.
Geelong hasn’t looked much better at times, but they come off an impressive win over Port Adelaide, and they find themselves in a good position to score an upset win at MCG on Friday night.
There is trepidation with Collingwood, so we’re happy to take Geelong to prevail in what could be a crucial clash.
Betting tip: Geelong @ $2.19
Geelong by 5
Collingwood vs Geelong – betr Same Game Multi
We’ve teamed up with betr to provide the GoBet Multi for the first game of every round of the 2023 AFL season.
Bookmakers have the line at +5.5 for the Cats, so they have been specked to win, and we’re including that line in our same game multi. It could be a tight and tense battle, which won’t lead to many points. We see Geelong winning 70-65, so include the under total match points in your selections. For a bit of value, include Mitch Duncan to score a goal.

Saturday 12/8/23
1:45pm North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Essendon Bombers @ Marvel Stadium
The Kangaroos put up a fight against Melbourne last week, but they succumbed to the pressure in the second half.
Essendon comes a one-point win against the hapless West Coast Eagles, which didn’t impress anyone, but the scare could be what they needed.
Bookmakers have the line at –23.5, which is a generous offering for the better team.
Betting tip: Essendon –23.5 @ $1.90
Essendon by 32
1:45pm Sydney Swans vs Gold Coast Suns @ SCG
The Swans scored a tough road win over GWS last week, which holds them in good stead against the Suns.
Gold Coast couldn’t muster enough against Adelaide, which is being reflected in betting markets with the Swans at –19.5.
We expect the Swans to be too good.
Betting tip: Sydney –19.5 @ $1.90
Sydney by 28
4:35pm Brisbane Lions vs Adelaide Crows @ Gabba
It was a hard-fought victory for the Lions against Fremantle on Sunday, but it keeps them in the premiership hunt.
There are still some areas they need to improve on, and those areas could be exposed by the Crows, if their best team turns up.
Bookmakers have 23.5 points between them, which is a generous line for the visitors.
Betting tip: Adelaide +23.5 @ $1.90
Brisbane by 10
7:25pm Carlton Blues vs Melbourne Demons @ MCG
Carlton is going full steam ahead and we think the Blues can defeat Melbourne on Saturday.
Melbourne needed a good second half just to put away the Kangaroos, and given the momentum from the Blues, they could be too good.
Punters get $2.30 for Carlton, which is an excellent price in one of the most exciting AFL games of the week.
Betting tip: Carlton @ $2.30
Carlton by 10
8:10pm West Coast Eagles vs Fremantle Dockers @ Optus Stadium
The Dockers will rue their missed chances against the Lions last week, and they could take out their frustrations with a big win over the Eagles.
West Coast almost scored an upset win over Essendon, but we don’t see this sudden change in form lasting very much longer.
Take the better team, which is Fremantle, to score easily.
Betting tip: Fremantle –24.5 @ $1.90
Fremantle by 30
Sunday 13/8/23
1:10pm Hawthorn Hawks vs Western Bulldogs @ UTAS Stadium
The Hawks have suddenly come to life and their momentum could carry over against the Western Bulldogs.
Coming off a win against Collingwood, albeit an injury-plagued Magpie team, the Hawks could use that confidence on Sunday.
The Bulldogs torched Richmond, but they don’t always play well on the road, so we’re picking the Hawks to cover the spread.
Betting tip: Hawthorn +13.5 @ $1.90
Hawks by 3
3:20pm St Kilda Saints vs Richmond Tigers @ Marvel Stadium
St Kilda and Richmond are desperate for a win, so the team that wants it most could prevail.
We give the slight edge to the Saints and bookmakers agree. They are the $1.79 favourites to beat Richmond, which comes off a hefty 55-point loss to the Bulldogs.
There isn’t much confidence in the betting market but include the Saints in your AFL multis.
Betting tip: St Kilda @ $1.79
St Kilda by 6
4:40pm Port Adelaide Power vs GWS Giants @ Adelaide Oval
We usually side with the Power when playing at the Adelaide Oval, and this time is no different.
Despite losing to Geelong last week, they played well enough to bet with confidence against a GWS team coming off a loss to Sydney.
-15.5 is the current line, which is fair.
Betting tip: Port Adelaide –15.5 @ $1.90
