How to bet regular season and postseason in AFL Football: Which teams are favored to reach the AFL Grand Final?
This is a historically slow time of the year for professional sports in North America, with the MLB the only league in action.
On the other hand, let’s quickly break down the Aussie Rules Football, followed by looking at a few of the favorites to win it all.
A Quick Overview of Aussie Rules Football
Two teams of 18 players take part in the game, which is played on a large oval field with 4 goalposts at either end.
The goal is to move the ball forward, usually by long kicks, to get the ball between the posts.
The points awarded depend on which posts the ball splits.
Breaking the plan of the 2 main posts is called a “behind” and offers the most points.
Also, it’s a highly physical game where contact is not only allowed but also encouraged.

The Current Standings in the AFL
We are 16 games into a 22-game season, and we have a clear leader at the top, with Collingwood leading the way by 10 points.
For this reason, Collingwood are obviously among the favorites to win it all, but we will get into that in just a moment.
Accordingly to AFL format, there are eighteen teams, but only 8 make it to the playoffs.
Collingwood are well clear, but things are tight beyond that, with teams 2 through 9 separated by just 6 points.
So we’re going to have a real battle for positioning, which will have an impact on the path that each team needs to take in the playoffs and to the Grand Final, which is coming in September.
^Who Are the Favorites to Win the AFL Football Grand Final?
As we have already mentioned, it is Collingwood who are the team to beat right now.
They are well clear at the top of the table, plus, they also have history on their side, as no team has won more Grand Finals than they have.
In addition, it would be a real shock if they did not end the season as the #1 team in the league. They are currently listed at +270.
The bettors have Geelong on the board next at odds of +450, after they are currently sitting down in 4th place with a total of 44 points, so they are only 4 points above the cut line.
That said, you still have to like their chances of getting into the playoffs, and their last won was in 2022 in the Grand Final.
Finally, a team to watch is Brisbane, who are the defending champions and run in 2nd place on the table.
They have reached each of the past 2 Grand Finals, demonstrating their playoff experience.
As a result, Brisbane appear to be a good deal at their present odds of +510.
It’s been quite some time since we saw a champion repeat, but they could be skilled enough to achieve that.
