AFL Round 24: Tips, Predictions and Best Bets

Round 24 is the last of the home and away season, and with the top 10 already locked in, every game left is about seeding. Fremantle have the minor premiership sewn up and Sydney are locked into second, so the real fight sits underneath them.

Brisbane, Hawthorn and Melbourne are all level on 60 points with two double chance spots up for grabs, so percentage could decide who plays a qualifying final and who does not. Geelong and Adelaide are level on 56 and separated only by percentage, with the last of the top six places and the week off that comes with it on the line.

The 10 itself is already settled, which means nobody is playing for survival this week, only for where they land and who they get in the first wildcard weekend the game has staged. Below you will find our tips, predictions and best bets for every Round 24 match, with the recommended play for each ready to take to your preferred AFL betting site.
