AFL Finals Week 2 Tips

—

Friday 13/9/24

7:40pm Port Adelaide Power vs Hawthorn Hawks @ Adelaide Oval

The Power were terrible last week, losing 138-54 to the visiting Geelong Cats, and we’re not sure if they’ll recover in time.

Hawthorn is one of the hottest teams in the AFL, and we were happy to back them as $2.10 underdog against the Bulldogs last week.

The 99-62 road win was an excellent result for a team that looked to have no chance of making the playoffs before going on an elite winning spurt.

It’s not often the seventh seed beats the second seed, but there should be grand confidence with the Hawks, despite playing on the road.

Based on what we saw last week, and Port Adelaide allowed the Cats to dominate in all facets, we can’t back them to win the game.

Bookmakers have the Power at $2.36 and +8.5. We thought they would be shorter despite the loss last week, but we’re not backing them to win.

Our money is on the Hawks to continue their excellent run of form, and although $1.59 is shorter than what we would have liked, they’re being included in our AFL multis.

Betting tip: Hawthorn –8.5 @ $1.90

7:30pm GWS Giants vs Brisbane Lions @ ENGIE Stadium

It’s odd to say, but the Giants looked better in defeat than the Lions did when winning.

GWS lost to the Sydney Swans 88-82, but losing by only six points to the top of the table team isn’t a bad result, especially on the road.

It now gets to play at home against a Lions team that did the job against Carlton, but the Blues were terrible, and there were some strange coaching decisions made.

However, despite a lack of accuracy in front of goal, the Lions should be happy with the result, and the lack of pressure could benefit them this week.

They didn’t have to play a gut buster like the Giants did, and as they showed last season, the Lions are capable of making a deep run in the finals.

It’s a tough game to predict, and we expect both teams to play better than last week. However, given their finals experience, we can’t turn down the odds for the Lions.

They know they’ll need to play better than last week, but we think fatigue gets in the way of the Giants, who could rue some missed chances.

Getting $2.12 for the visitors is a price worth snapping up, and we expect money to come for Brisbane throughout the week.

It will be a tight defensive battle, but class should prevail in the second half.

Betting tip: Brisbane @ $2.12
