AFL Round 5 Tips

Thursday 13/4/23

7:40pm Adelaide Crows vs Carlton @ Adelaide Oval

The Adelaide Crows surprised us in the opening few rounds. They have exceeded expectations significantly, and they’re playing well enough to beat Carlton on Thursday.

We’re happy to take the $2.10 available, and the +3.5, which are both excellent lines for the home team, who continue to impress.

We expect those odds to firm throughout the week.

Betting tip: Adelaide Crows @ $2.10

Adelaide by 7


Adelaide vs Carlton – 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.

Momentum is always big in the AFL, and the Crows have it in spades. Our same game multi includes Adelaide 1-39, Taylor Walker to score two or more goals – he had four against Fremantle last week, so he’s in fine scoring form – and we’ll take overs in the total match points as this could turn into a shootout.

Friday 14/4/23

5:10pm Fremantle Dockers vs Gold Coast Suns @ Norwood Oval

We were disappointed with the Dockers last week when losing to Adelaide, but we think they get back to their best form on Friday.

The Gold Coast Suns aren’t much of an opponent, compared to what Fremantle can produce. Therefore, we’re happy with the $1.65 available.

We expected Fremantle to be around $1.45 with bookmakers.

Betting tip: Fremantle Dockers @ $1.65

8:10pm Richmond Tigers vs Sydney Swans @ Adelaide Oval

The Adelaide Oval hosts the Tigers vs Swans, so there is no home field advantage in play.

The Tigers have been well below their best, especially after losing to the Western Bulldogs as –13.5 favourites last week.

Sydney lost in a tight one to Port Adelaide, but it has been playing better, so take the Swans to win.

Betting tip: Sydney Swans @ $1.66

Sydney by 10

Saturday 22/4/23

1:10pm Brisbane Lions vs North Melbourne Kangaroos @ Adelaide Hills

The Brisbane Lions looked strong when beating Collingwood last week, which is excellent form against North Melbourne.

The Kangaroos have been much better in 2023 than in recent years, but beating the Lions seems a stretch too far.

Bookmakers have the line at 29.5, and we expect a one-sided win.

Betting tip: Brisbane Lions –29.5 @ $1.90

4:10pm Essendon Bombers vs Melbourne Demons @ Adelaide Oval

Melbourne was far too good for the West Coast Eagles last week, scoring a 126-63 win.

The level of opposition increases against Essendon on Saturday, but Melbourne should be too strong for their opponents.

One is a genuine premiership contender and the other will do well to make the playoffs, so bet accordingly.

Betting tip: Melbourne Demons –24.5 @ $1.90

Melbourne by 32

7:50pm Port Adelaide Power vs Western Bulldogs @ Adelaide Oval

Port Adelaide gets the benefit of playing at home, and that should be too much for the Bulldogs to handle.

The Power were good when winning last week on the road, so we thought bookmakers would have them at slightly shorter odds this week.

Include the Power at $1.56 in your AFL selections.

Betting tip: Port Adelaide Power @ $1.56

Sunday 16/4/23

1:10pm Geelong Cats vs West Coast Eagles @ Adelaide Oval

The Cats are dominant favourites to beat the West Coast Eagles, and it could springboard their season into gear.

They haven’t been at their best so far in 2023, but the Eagles aren’t hard to beat, so we’re expecting a big win from the favourites.

Betting tip: Geelong Cats –34.5 @ $1.90

3:20pm GWS Giants vs Hawthorn Hawks @ Norwood Oval

There won’t be much between the Giants and Hawks, but we have an edge for Greater Western Sydney in this situation.

The Giants have played slightly better so far, which is why they’re the –13.5 favourites to beat a sticky Hawthorn outfit.

It could come down to which team wants it more in the fourth.

Betting tip: Hawthorn Hawks +13.5 @ $1.90

GWS by 10

4:50pm Collingwood Magpies vs St Kilda Saints @ Adelaide Oval

Punters get a blockbuster to close out Round 5, as the Magpies look to get back to winning form.

They were disappointing against the Lions last week, but they have enough ability to make a deep run for the title.

St Kilda could be a step below that, so take Collingwood to win and cover the spread.

Betting tip: Collingwood Magpies –16.5 @ $1.90

Collingwood by 20
