Best Bet

Western Bulldogs -16.5 @ $1.90

Finding traction hasn’t been easy for the Bulldogs, but we’re prepared to overlook their latest loss to the Dockers.

Beating Fremantle was never likely for the Bulldogs, but their previous form included three consecutive wins over West Coast, Gold Coast, and Richmond. Those aren’t tough games, but playing North Melbourne isn’t either.

It was a good start to the year for North Melbourne, but the wheels have fallen off. They are riding a long losing streak, including a loss to Port Adelaide, so despite a tough recent schedule, they haven’t been playing well against all levels of opposition.

The Bulldogs are 9-0 in their last nine games against North Melbourne, and that should hit double digits on Thursday. We have them winning outright and covering the -16.5 spread, which could keep moving throughout the week.

Same Game Multi

Western Bulldogs -16.5, Marcus Bontempelli 2+ Goals, Rhylee West 2+ Goals, Total Points Over 171.5 @ $10.00

Punters always get value odds for Marcus Bontempelli, who should bounce back with a big effort. He didn’t kick a goal against Fremantle’s tough defence, but he had seven goals in his previous three games, so take the value.

Rhylee West kicked two goals against Richmond, and he should get every chance to kick a few goals. Punters get $2.45 for West to kick 2+ goals, and that’s enough to give the AFL SGM odds a big boost.

In their latest meeting, they combined for 219 points, so we’re including over 171.5 in our multi bet. That came with North Melbourne scoring only seven points in the fourth quarter, so the over cruised home.

Best Value Bet

Western Bulldogs 40+ @ $3.50

Bet Now

The Bulldogs sit precariously in eighth spot on the AFL ladder, but it’s a tight race, and they could do with a one-sided win to start the round.

They scored by 47 points against Richmond in Round 20, and although North Melbourne is a better team, as they showed last week against Hawthorn, they could struggle to keep up with the Bulldogs on this occasion.

The $3.50 odds are worth the risk.
