AFL Round 5 Tips
—
Thursday 10/4/25
7:40pm Adelaide Crows vs Geelong Cats @ Adelaide Oval
The Crows were, for lack of a better term, robbed against Gold Coast last week, but the best way to get over a loss is to win next week.
They are $1.62 favourites to beat the Geelong Cats, who were far too good for the Demons last week, but this is a completely different contest.
Following the dramatic loss, look for the Crows to bounce back and secure the points.
Betting tip: Adelaide Crows –7.5 @ $1.90

7:40pm Collingwood Magpies vs Sydney Swans @ Adelaide Oval
We saw some life from the Swans last week when putting away a terrible Kangaroos outfit but beating the Magpies won’t be as easy.
Collingwood knuckled down and got the better of Carlton, and although it’s not playing its best footy in 2025, there is more room for improvement than with the Swans.
Getting a –8.5 line is too good to turn down.
Betting tip: Collingwood Magpies –8.5 @ $1.90

Saturday 12/4/25
12:35pm North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Gold Coast Suns @ Barossa Park
Unless something unbelievable happens, we can’t see the Kangaroos getting close to the Suns on Saturday.
They have been a terrible bet over the last few years, and although the Suns might have been a touch lucky to win last week, it was still a gutsy effort to beat the Crows.
Getting a –24.5 line against the Kangaroos is generous, so include the Suns in AFL multis.
Betting tip: Gold Coast Suns @ $1.78
Gold Coast by 33
Use Code 'GOBET500'1:20pm Carlton Blues vs West Coast Eagles @ Adelaide Oval
It’s now or never for Carlton to start putting wins together, and it should have no problems getting past the poor West Coast Eagles.
The Eagles are in for another long year, as their recent results suggest, and although the Blues aren’t a high-powered offence, they should be good enough to post a big total on the Eagles’ defence.
Take Carlton to cover the –31.5 line in a one-sided contest.
Betting tip: Carlton Blues –31.5 @ $1.90
Carlton by 40
Use Code 'GOBET500'4:15pm Western Bulldogs vs Brisbane Lions @ Norwood Oval
We like what the Lions are doing in 2025, close to what they did in 2024, and they should be too much for the Western Bulldogs.
There is some trepidation with AFL odds, which opened the Lions at $1.52 to win. That’s a fair price for punters, and we believe the Lions are the much better team.
Playing at a neutral venue shouldn’t favour either team.
Betting tip: Brisbane Lions –10.5 @ $1.90
Brisbane by 16
Use Code 'GOBET500'7:35pm Melbourne Demons vs Essendon Bombers @ Adelaide Oval
It will be good to see one of these teams pick up a win on Saturday night, and we’re picking Essendon to prevail.
We haven’t been impressed with what the Demons have offered, and despite some encouraging words to start the year from their senior players, it hasn’t translated to winning on the field.
There is more upside with Essendon, so take the $1.85 odds.
Betting tip: Essendon Bombers @ $1.85

12:35pm Richmond Tigers vs Fremantle Dockers @ Barossa Park
A spot near the bottom of the table looks set for the Tigers this year, and they should struggle to handle the Dockers.
Fremantle showed that it can achieve last week, and it will welcome playing an easy team in Round 5. The Dockers can add to their points tally without much stress, so we’re picking them to score an easy win.
The line is 35.5, which the Dockers should cover comfortably.
Betting tip: Fremantle Dockers –35.5 @ $1.90
Fremantle by 44
Use Code 'GOBET500'3:20pm St Kilda Saints vs GWS Giants @ Norwood Oval
We like what the Giants are doing, and we’re not surprised to see them listed as $1.43 favourites.
They’re more of a complete team than the Saints, and although covering a –15.5 line isn’t easy, this could be a statement win for GWS.
Back the Giants to win and cover the spread, which could move to –17.5 on game day.
Betting tip: GWS Giants –15.5 @ $1.90
GWS by 18
Use Code 'GOBET500'7:20pm Port Adelaide Power vs Hawthorn Hawks @ Adelaide Oval
Beating Port Adelaide at home won’t be easy, but the Hawks are the best team in the competition, so we’re backing them.
They are perfect so far, and the ceiling hasn’t been touched. They are –16.5 favourites with good reason against the Power, which is a fair line.
Port Adelaide hasn’t been great, so look for Hawthorn to capitalise.
Betting tip: Hawthorn Hawks –16.5 @ $1.90
