North Melbourne vs. Adelaide Predictions

Best Bet

Adelaide –36.5 @ $1.90

There hasn’t been much money come for North Melbourne, and despite it won last week, winning consecutive games hasn’t come easy in 2025.

We’re backing Adelaide to win and cover the spread, and we thought the line would be higher than –36.5. Adelaide currently leads the AFL, and the minor premiership is within their reach, so a win over North Melbourne is likely.

They played earlier this year when Adelaide won by 36 points, so the line is representative of that game. However, Adelaide is better than what it was in March, and that should translate into another easy victory for the high-flying Crows.

Same Game Multi

Adelaide –36.5, Riley Thilthorpe 3+ Goals, Paul Curtis 2+ Goals, Total Match Points Over 176.5 @ $6.00

Riley Thilthorpe had only one goal last week, but he’s due a bounce back performance against North Melbourne’s average defence. He has 13 goals from his last five games, so kicking three goals is likely. Punters get $1.73 for a 3+ goal performance, so include him in AFL SGM picks.

We also have Paul Curtis scoring 2+ goals for North Melbourne. He scored five goals last week in a winning performance against Richmond, and although scoring on Adelaide is harder, he’s the shining light for the home side.

Over 176.5 goes in the mix as they combined for 192 points in their previous meeting. It should be an open contest, and Adelaide could score 120+ points.

Best Value Bet

Taylor Walker First Goal Scorer @ $9.50

Taylor Walker is a proud Crow, and he will look to get his team up and running early on Saturday afternoon.

Given what’s on the line for Adelaide, it will look to start much better than North Melbourne, and it should be Walker looking to kick the opening goal. He has 12 goals from his last five games, so he’s thriving in the kicking department.
