Best Bet

Geelong –11.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

Geelong bounced back from a tough one-point loss on Easter Monday with a 122-76 win over West Coast last week. It wasn’t a tough game, but it should be enough to get their confidence levels up.

They now face the Bulldogs, who ended their unbeaten run with a 104-64 loss to Hawthorn last week, and that could have a lasting effect. They should struggle to recover from that one-sided loss, and facing Geelong isn’t ideal in this situation.

Their last meeting in 2025 went to Geelong with a 127-113 victory, and it could be a similar result. We have Geelong winning by 17 points, and the –11.5 line is worth including in AFL picks this week. Our market predictions have the line moving to around –13.5, so it could be best to lock in the early spread before it moves.

Same Game Multi

Geelong –11.5, Oliver Henry 2+ Goals, Tanner Bruhn 25+ Disposals, Total Points Over 187.5 @ $8.50

Bet Now

Oliver Henry comes off consecutive games with 2+ goals, and he should have another big scoring night in what should be a high scoring contest. Punters get $2.15 for Henry to kick 2+ goals, which boosts AFL same game multi odds.

Tanner Bruhn had 28 disposals against West Coast, and he should have another busy game. It was his second consecutive game with 25+ disposals, so he’s another good multi bet addition.

They combined for 240 points in their latest meeting, so we’re including over 187.5 points in our multi.

Best Value Bet

Patrick Dangerfield First Goal Scorer @ $14.00

Bet Now

Patrick Dangerfield got back to his scoring ways with a goal last week, and he could score the opening goal on the run this Friday night.

He always puts himself in the thick of the action, and although he won’t be waiting in the forward 50 for a kick to come his way, he could break out from the opening possession and get Geelong off to a fast start. The $14 odds are worth the risk in this betting market.
