Geelong vs. West Coast prediction, tip, best bet
West Coast showed they have checked out of 2024 with a huge loss to a depleted Carlton.
Things won't go well for them at the Cattery and a 53.5 line seems low for what could happen.
Geelong look to be value at the line and you could even push it out a few more points if you choose.
Prediction: Geelong by 75 points
Best bet: Geelong -53.5 ($1.90)
Richmond vs. Gold Coast prediction, tip, best bet
In a simple numbers game of personnel, Gold Coast will be able to field a far more competitive team than Richmond.
It's just a case of whether the Suns will underperform being away from home.
Surely a Damien Hardwick rocket after last week's loss will mean they get the job done at the MCG.
Prediction: Gold Coast by 20 points
Best bet: Gold Coast -10.5 ($1.90)
Fremantle vs Port Adelaide prediction, tip, best bet
Fremantle were impressive in stretching GWS on the road last week and will be motivated with a win giving them a chance at finals.
Port Adelaide will be missing Dan Houston, who provides a lot of their drive and creativity out of defence.
Backing the team at home with the greater motivation is the solid play here.
Prediction: Fremantle by 8 points
Best bet: Fremantle -1.5 ($1.90)
