Betting AFL Round 17

Plenty of teams will be eager for an important win during Round 16 of the AFL schedule.

However, only some teams will be as motivated as Essendon, which took a 45-point shellacking at the hands of Geelong last week.

There isn’t much separation among teams in the top eight in the standings, and any good results could help improve or worsen a team’s respective position.

Collingwood Hopes to Shake Early Woes

Friday, July 5th, 2024

The Magpies have struggled to show what allowed them to win the AFL Grand Final last season.

Collingwood’s two-match winning streak was halted by an 11-point defeat to Gold Coast last week.

The match with Essendon will kick off a stretch where Collingwood will play five straight seasons at MCG.a

Having spent so much time at MCG should give the Magpies an opportunity to relax a bit.

Collingwood will be missing John Noble, who is in concussion protocol.

The Magpies will benefit from getting Lachie Schultz back from illness.

Harrison Jones will be questionable for Essendon.

The Bombers will want to bounce back quickly.

The 60 points Essendon scored last week was their lowest output since Week 4 when the Bombers were only 42 points.

Gold Coast Wants to Turn Corner

Saturday, July 6th, 2024

The Suns are on the fringe of the postseason race.

Gold Coast has lost three of its past five matches.

Gold Coast will have an opportunity to build momentum with a team that has already dominated this season.

The Suns beat North Melbourne 120-52 back in Round 9.

Teams have been running circles around the Kangaroos all season.

North Melbourne has lost three straight matches since picking up its only win.

During the past two rounds, the Kangaroos have scored less than 70 points.

Gold Coast is -250 to win the match, while North Melbourne is +195.

The Suns are a 17.5-point favorite.

The over/under has been set at 170.5 points.

The Kangaroos will likely lose this match more than their first meeting, but Gold Coast should win.

Western Bulldogs Set for Tough Matchup

Port Adelaide’s offense still needs help.

The Power haven’t scored more than 73 points over the past month.

Western has won three of its previous four matches.

The Bulldogs have been attacking well this season, scoring 100 or more points in two of those three wins.

The Bulldogs are 2.5-point favorites.

Western is -125 on the moneyline, while Port Adelaide is +102.

The over/under has been set at 166.5 points.

This is a good match to back the Bulldogs as a short favorite.

How do the commentators say 'Direct Pressure' when literally just rushed it all on himself?? Like I get there's players around but it's not like no one is tackling him or trying to force him to rush it. #AFL #AFLCatsBombers pic.twitter.com/CxswUKIZzJ
