AFL Futures Tips & Predictions
—
AFL Premiership Winner – Hawthorn Hawks
The glory days of the Hawthorn Hawks could be upon us after an excellent 2024, and there is momentum on their side.
The Hawks showed great improvement when finishing strongly to post a seventh placing, and although beaten in the semifinals against Port Adelaide, they did a good job to keep that game close, losing 75-72.
After a few years of going through tough times, that could pay off in 2025. The Hawks added Tom Barrass and Josh Battle to sure up the already good defence, and the likes of Dylan Moore and Jack Ginnivan will do the heavy lifting up front.
It’s a good team and they are confident, so we’re locking in the $8 odds.
Bet: Hawthorn Hawks @ $8.00
Use Code 'GOBET500'AFL Premiership Winner Best Value – GWS Giants
The Giants have been threatening to win an AFL title, and after finishing fourth in the regular season in 2024, we believe they’ll improve on that effort.
As the latest AFL odds suggest, the Giants are a good chance at $9.50. They knuckled down and played good footy last year, and there’s no reason to suggest that form won’t continue in 2025, which is predicted to be an even year.
There won’t be much covering the top four teams in the competition, and the Giants should be battle-hardened and there to strike in the finals.
Bet: GWS Giants @ $9.50
Use Code 'GOBET500'AFL Premiership Winner Best Roughie – Port Adelaide Power
We don’t rate the Port Adelaide Power as roughies, but the $18 odds suggest otherwise.
We rated them around $11 to win following a great regular season in 2024, and they haven’t lost too much in the offseason. They might have failed to win in the playoffs over the last few years, but going through that heartbreak could strengthen them up.
Sam Powell-Pepper is back from injury, which adds to an impressive front line, including the always-dangerous Willie Rioli.
Based on that, we’re taking the odds and we expect them to shorten over the next few weeks.
Bet: Port Adelaide Power @ $18.00
Use Code 'GOBET500'AFL Brownlow Medal Winner – Caleb Serong
It could be a big year for 24-year-old Caleb Serong, who showed his worth when getting 28 points in the Brownlow Medal last year.
He wasn’t quite on the same level as the likes of Nick Daicos, Patrick Cripps, and Marcus Bontempelli, who are at the top of the market again, but he’s improving. He is ready to show why he’s the most important player for the Fremantle Dockers, and we’re snapping up the odds.
Bookmakers have Serong at $21 to win the Brownlow, and those odds are too good to pass up.
Bet: Caleb Serong @ $21.00
Use Code 'GOBET500'AFL Coleman Medal Winner – Charlie Curnow
We backed Charlie Curnow to win the Coleman Medal in 2024, and although he finished third behind Jesse Hogan and Jeremy Cameron, he’s our top pick again.
Curnow is the best player for Carlton’s offence, and he will likely get plenty of chances to kick goals in 2025. He’s a rangy forward who is accurate, and that should see him win the Coleman Medal as a $5 favourite.
Most of the money has come for the Blues player to turn the tables on Hogan ($7).
Bet: Charlie Curnow @ $5.00
Use Code 'GOBET500'AFL Wooden Spoon – North Melbourne Kangaroos
The Richmond Tigers are $1.57 favourites to win the wooden spoon, and that’s tough to overlook, but there isn’t much value in that price.
They are a terrible team, but so are the North Melbourne Kangaroos, who have spent years near the bottom of the AFL ladder. We don’t see much improvement coming from the Roos in 2025, and the $5.50 odds are generous.
If the Tigers can snag a few wins, that could be enough to win more games than North Melbourne.
Bet: North Melbourne Kangaroos @ $5.50
Use Code 'GOBET500'2025 AFL Team Previews
Adelaide Crows:
The Crows are a team we enjoy watching, but consistency is tough to come by. They typically start the year off well, but as the season progresses, expect their spot on the AFL ladder to regress.
Brisbane Lions:
The Lions seek consecutive AFL titles, which isn’t easy. However, they are the rightful favourites to win and a top four spot looks likely. Everything points towards another top season, providing the premiership hangover has worn off.
Carlton Blues:
We enjoy backing the Blues each week because they often pay value odds. 2025 is another year where Carlton could show its best, so we’re picking it to finish in the top six. It’s good enough win more often than it loses.
Collingwood Magpies:
It’s no surprise to see the Magpies on the third line of betting at $9.50. They’re one of the more professional teams in the league, boasting recent success, and there aren’t too many negatives about this team. A top five team that will be strong come playoff time.
Essendon Bombers:
There is little betting support for the Bombers, which isn’t surprising. They have exciting and young players, but despite being able to beat some of the best teams, they often let themselves down with poor losses. Making the top eight would be their best result.
Fremantle Dockers:
The Dockers could have a big 2025, and although they don’t have the same depth of some AFL teams, they’re never too far away from the prize. We have them making the top eight, and they could make a name for themselves later this year.
Geelong Cats:
Consistency is there for the Cats, who are $10 to win the AFL Premiership. It’s tough to know what they will produce, but they’re always a potential to win the competition. We have them slightly better than middle of the pack in 2025.
Gold Coast Suns:
Improvement is expected for the Suns, but not to the point where they become a playoff team. It could be a tough year for Gold Coast fans, but any improvement is good improvement. We have it missing the playoffs.
GWS Giants:
A top four team in the making after proving their worth last year. It was a good season, and although it didn’t end in a premiership, they’re heading in the right direction. The foundations are there, so stick with the Giants as title contenders.
Hawthorn Hawks:
Our top pick to win the title, which is crazy to think about. They were a joke only a couple of years ago, but going through tough times has made them stronger. It has also allowed them to recruit well, and after ending 2024 positively, they could rise to another level. The betting is accurate, so back the Hawks to win it all.
Melbourne Demons:
The Demons have regressed after showed good consistency for a few years. We didn’t like what we saw last year, and because how even the competition is this year, they could struggle to play post-season footy.
North Melbourne Kangaroos:
The Kangaroos are our top pick to finish last. It’s a position they’re used to, and although the Tigers are favourites to occupy the position, the Kangaroos will lose most weeks. Punters shouldn’t expect much success from the struggling franchise.
Port Adelaide Power:
Looking to continue on from the success they had in 2024, the Power are once again a solid pick. Not much has changed roster-wise in 2025, and punters should expect similar results. They knocked out Hawthorn in the semis last year, so they are a value play.
Richmond Tigers:
The storied franchise could have one of its worst years. Expectations are extremely low, hence the $251 odds to win. 2025 could be tough for Tigers’ fans.
St Kilda Saints:
There hasn’t been much talk about the Saints, and at $67, we’re not surprised. They’re a so-so team, who is unlikely to make much of an impact. A bottom six finish looms.
Sydney Swans:
The Swans are one of those teams that could either be great or moderate. They’re on the cusp of being a finals team, but it all depends on how well they play in the final two months. They could start well and fade when the pressure goes on.
West Coast Eagles:
The Eagles continue to struggle and another bottom three spot could be secured. The odds suggest as much, and it could be a few years before the Eagles start winning.
Western Bulldogs:
There are nine teams at $13 or less, and the Bulldogs are one of them. They’re never too far away from the playoff hunt, and they could be fighting for a top eight spot in the final week of the regular season.
