Fremantle vs Hawthorn Prediction
Fremantle earned the right to host this qualifying final and I am on them to win it. That is where my conviction sits, and the 14.5 on the card is the same read with a bit more room underneath it.

Melbourne vs Carlton Prediction
Carlton are favourite and I am not going to argue with it. But being favourite and handing over five and a half points are two very different jobs.

Western Bulldogs vs Collingwood Prediction
Sudden death at the MCG, which is Collingwood's regular deck, so the home designation here is a piece of paper. I have landed on the Dogs, and the number I am most confident about is the total.

West Coast vs Hawthorn Prediction
Hawthorn have a double chance to play for and West Coast have lost ten straight, so the winner is not the argument here. The 50.5 is. I have Hawthorn by 48, and a side that drew with Collingwood last week…

Where to bet on AFL
Every bookmaker prices the AFL slightly differently. Head-to-head and line markets are usually within a cent or two across the top Australian licensed books, but Same Game Multi pricing and longer-shot roughies vary more. KRUZEY’s shortlist of which Australian books are sharpest on AFL sits in the best AFL betting sites guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who will win the AFL Grand Final? +
The 2026 AFL Grand Final is Fremantle against Brisbane at the MCG on Saturday 26 September, first bounce 2:30pm AEST.

Who will win this round of AFL and why? +
Every AFL round, KRUZEY publishes a fixture-by-fixture preview with the call (which team to back), the price, the reasoning (form lines, ladder position, last-start margin, ground record, key personnel news) and the bet type, whether that’s a win, a line bet or each-way on the longer-shot prices. The reasoning is published under every call so you can read why before you back it. The current round’s tips are linked from the cards above this section.
Who should I tip in AFL this week? +
Pick the round from the rounds we cover section above. Every fixture has a tip with reasoning under it. If you tip in a workplace or family comp, KRUZEY’s read is built around the same form analysis a tipping panel runs (team form, head-to-head, recent ground performance, late team news) so it works whether you bet, tip, or both. Late team news matters; confirmed selections are checked before the tip is finalised the morning of the first bounce.
How do you bet on AFL? +
Pick an Australian licensed bookmaker (KRUZEY’s shortlist is in the best AFL betting sites guide), open an account, deposit, then pick the fixture and bet type. The four main AFL bet types are head-to-head (which team wins), line betting (covers the favourite’s expected margin), totals (over or under the combined score), and same-game multi (multiple legs on the one match). Stake to a unit you can afford to lose, and never chase a losing round.
