2024 AFL Premiership Odds & Tips

Our tip for the AFL Premiership winner before Opening Round was for Carlton for 9.00 at PlayUp

"The "Flaggers" are another favourite to win the premiership. The Blues had a gallant effort in the 2023 finals series, but went to sleep after the first quarter of the Preliminary Final, which saw the Lions edge back piece by piece and take the victory somewhat comfortably.

The Baggers have received the fifth hardest draw for 2024 according to AFL, and are lining up twice against Collingwood, GWS, Port Adelaide and Geelong. Although, the Blues' have scored the best in terms of Thursday and Friday night games, with half of their first 16 games played on the primetime spot, and four of those will be played at the G - which will give a pulse to their supporters.

They also have a very strong team with a lot of eyes on Sam Walsh after his stellar finals series, big Charlie slotting everything up forward - and in my opinion, the current best player in the league, Patrick Cripps.

We think 2024 will be the year Carlton break their almost 30 year premiership drought".

Our tip for the AFL Premiership before Round 4 was for Carlton for 8.00 at BetM

"We are still strong on board the Flaggers bandwagon, even after we've had a few rounds to see how the teams are positioned. To date (as of Round 4) Carlton are still undefeated, however they haven't been playing dominant at all and they've already copped a few injuries. The Blues really came out as premiership contenders after beating the Lions by 1 point in a thriller in the Opening Round. Since then, we've seen that beating Brisbane is no big feat, and the Blues also nearly lost to Richmond - who to be fair, are playing surprisingly well and beat Sydney.

Their forward line is proving very dominant at this stage, and with guns like Cripps, Cerra and Walsh in the middle, they are going to be tough to beat all year, even with a few casualties. I don't see them smashing any team, but I think they will get the job done when it is needed".

Our tip for the AFL Premiership before Round 11 is for Essendon for 17.00 at PlayUp

20/5/2024

"It's been a long time since anyone has said that without it being a joke. But, the baby bombers are playing a similar type of footy as Collingwood were last year, and are getting some positive exposure in the tight thrilling games. Their kryptonite over the last few years was only playing 3 quarters and losing spectacularly because of this.

The Dons only played bad in one game this year (and it was bad), otherwise they have showed as much positivity as Sydney has, and only lost that in the last half of the last quarter.

On their day, Essendon are as good as anyone of them and they are the only team this year that has not lost a game in Melbourne. At the bookies odds (currently 23.00) it's a decent bet as there is a good chance they will get to the later stage finals - so you can always hedge it".

Premiership Winner - Carlton

"While it was fun to consider Essendon winning the flag for a period, I'm back on the Blues bandwagon. Carlton were our pick most of the year, and they have now come together well as a team and are looking like the only threat to Sydney.

Yes, it does feel a bit insulting to say Sydney won't win, and massive kudos to Sydney, they are destroying teams and have done so for the top rated teams early in the season. However, they have a very easy run home and I think they may get complacent. Carlton have had more close game exposure, as have Collingwood and Essendon - and they will all fare better at the G. Sydney have back to back Friday night games against Essendon and Collingwood at the end of the year, which will wake them up a bit. I'm tipping one of these will be an upset, and their odds to increase after this.

In the meantime, the Blues are a solid choice - especially if you got on at the start of the year".

Top 4 - Essendon

"No surprises here, I'm backing Essendon to sneak into the top 4. The Bombers have a little leeway on their spot at the minute, but are repping one of the worst percentages in the top 12. If they fall below 4, they're more chance to fall below 8 at this stage.

However, a lot of the teams in 3-12 do not have an easy run home, obviously because that's half the league so they all have to play each other a bit. There will be wins and losses for all these teams, and Essendon aren't one to smash a team, but they are only after the 4 points on every single game. I think they will retain their top 4 position".

Wooden Spoon (Least Wins) - Richmond

"Richmond have a tougher run home than Kangaroos, and North are dying for wins at this stage. Plus, we know that North prefer to win a game than receive a potential generational talent in the draft. Richmond, definitely more likely to tank.

I don't see Richmond winning a game for the rest of the year, and they do play Kangaroos so that would put them even stevens. North also play West Coast at home which is very winnable, and I wouldn't be surprised if they sneak another win in against Gold Coast or Bulldogs".
