AFL Round 3 Tips

Thursday 30/3/23

7:20pm Western Bulldogs vs Brisbane Lions @ Marvel Stadium

The Brisbane Lions pulled off an upset win over Melbourne last week and that form looks good against the Bulldogs, who scored just 41 points against St Kilda.

Momentum is with the Lions, and although they’re playing away from home, they should have too much scoring power for a disappointing Bulldogs outfit.

Take the Lions –14.5.

Betting tip: Brisbane Lions –14.5 @ $1.90

Western Bulldogs vs Brisbane Lions – 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.

For round 3, our same game multi sees the Lions winning the game between 1-39 points, which pays a handsome price with bookmakers. We’re also including Joe Daniher to score two or more goals, following his four-goal effort against Melbourne. For the final leg, we’ll take the overs in the total match points market. This same game multi pays a great value price and it could give punters a boost before the weekend.

Friday 31/3/23

7:50pm Collingwood Magpies vs Richmond Tigers @ MCG

Collingwood has made an impressive start to its season, following a 135-64 win over the Port Adelaide Power last week.

It has been impressive stuff from the Magpies, and we’re not surprised to see them listed as the favourites against Richmond, which comes off a 108-76 win over Adelaide.

It should be a thrilling contest on Friday night, but we give the Magpies the edge.

Betting tip: Collingwood Magpies @ $1.54

Saturday 1/4/23

1:45pm Hawthorn Hawks vs North Melbourne Kangaroos @ University of Tasmania Stadium

North Melbourne pulled off an almighty upset when beating the Fremantle Dockers last week, so they should be confident of another victory.

It’s rare to see the Kangaroos favoured to win at $1.57, but the Hawks have been average at best. They scored just 37 points against the Swans last week, which was a poor effort.

Take North Melbourne to keep winning.

Betting tip: North Melbourne Kangaroos –9.5 @ $1.90

4:35pm GWS Giants vs Carlton Blues @ GIANTS Stadium

We backed Carlton to win at $2.51 last week and they didn’t let us down when beating the Geelong Cats.

It was a top victory for the AFL title contenders, and we expect them to handle the Giants on Saturday.

GWS was no match for the West Coast Eagles last week, which isn’t good form, and we’re surprised that they are only $2.42 with bookmakers.

Take Carlton –10.5 for some value.

Betting tip: Carlton Blues –10.5 @ $1.90

7:25pm St Kilda Saints vs Essendon Bombers @ MCG

The Saints scored a quality win over the Western Bulldogs last week, but beating the upstart Essendon Bombers could prove difficult.

Confidence is a wonderful thing for Essendon, and after beating the Suns 108-80, we expect its winning run to continue.

Punters get $2.31 for Essendon, which is too good to pass up. St Kilda has ability, but this is effectively a 50-50 call, so take the better odds.

Betting tip: Essendon Bombers @ $2.31

7:30pm Port Adelaide Power vs Adelaide Crows @ Adelaide Oval

The Port Adelaide Power and Adelaide Crows come off disappointing Round 2 losses, but there is more enterprise with Port Adelaide.

It scored only 64 points against Collingwood last week, but the Magpies have been one of the better teams in the early rounds.

There isn’t much to get excited about with the Crows, so take Port to win.

Betting tip: Port Adelaide –14.5 @ $1.90

Sunday 2/4/23

2:10pm Gold Coast Suns vs Geelong Cats @ Heritage Bank Stadium

The Geelong Cats didn’t fire against the Blues last week, but punters should be confident of a quick bounce back on Sunday.

The Gold Coast Suns aren’t playing very well to open their season, including a loss to Essendon last week.

This should be a comfortable win for the Cats, who have the power and class advantage.

Betting tip: Geelong Cats –16.5 @ $1.90

3:20pm Melbourne Demons vs Sydney Swans @ MCG

Melbourne couldn’t keep up with the Lions last week, but it still played well enough to be considered against the Swans.

However, Sydney was impressive last week when beating the Hawks 118-37 in a one-sided display. It was a strong victory, and it has confidence.

Bookmakers have Sydney at $2.20, and that’s a price worth taking.

Betting tip: Sydney Swans @ $2.20

5:20pm Fremantle Dockers vs West Coast Eagles @ Optus Stadium

We couldn’t quite believe that Fremantle lost to North Melbourne last week, but it could be a good thing in the long run.

It shows the Dockers that they can’t take a week off in the AFL, and we expect them to get back to their winning ways against West Coast.

Bookies have the Dockers at –13.5, which is a generous line.

Betting tip: Fremantle Dockers –13.5 @ $1.90
