AFL Grand Final - Collingwood vs. Brisbane

Collingwood Q1 winner

The Magpies led at quarter-time in both matches against Brisbane this year, which they incidentally lost.

Brisbane also showed they are susceptible to fast starts against Carlton last week.

To further support this bet is the heat that Collingwood brought in the first quarter against GWS last week.

Price: $1.85

Josh Daicos 25-plus disposals

Josh Daicos is a talisman for Collingwood, earning All-Australian honours as a genuine wingman for his outstanding year. 

Though his possession count has dropped in the finals, Daicos is averaging 25.3 touches for the year, and hit career-best form at the end of the home and away season. 

The 24-year-old will be one of Collingwood’s most essential players on Saturday, pushing to return to his best.

Price: $1.90

Brisbane 1-39 points winner

Even though Collingwood are favourites, Brisbane would also be worthy market leaders in this game, despite it being at the MCG.

If the Lions win, it's unlikely they will blow a resilient Collingwood team away.

Therefore a Brisbane win will be most likely under 40 points.

Price: $2.65

Charlie Cameron two-plus goals

It’s been Charlie Cameron’s year, and the superstar small forward is only getting more dangerous as the season progresses. 

He’s kicked multiple goals in six of his last seven appearances, including a four-goal game against the Magpies in Round 22. 

Cameron is a strong chance to find two majors at $1.64, making him a perfect option for your multi.

Price: $1.64
