AFL Best Tips and Multi Bet of the Weekend | Round 8

The stakes continue to rise in the AFL, as pictures become clearer at both ends of the table for both punters and AFL betting sites. The Sydney derby is looking set to be an absolute epic, whilst Geelong’s unbeaten record will go under the microscope at Melbourne and Brisbane chase momentum against local rivals Gold Coast. 

May 3rd, 18:45, SCG 

Local rivalries always get the blood boiling in any sport but there is absolutely no love lost between the Sydney Swans and the GWS Giants, who meet here in a fixture eagerly anticipated by AFL punters and multi betting sites. 

The Swans have won all but one of their games this season and look to be capable of mounting a sustainable AFL Championship push, but this will be a test of their mettle. 

GWS are in exactly the same boat, with the same results record bagged too and this will be a yardstick for them in terms of their seasonal aspirations. 

This one could truly go either way and there will be plenty of drama in it too but the Sydney Swans have made the SCG their home and they should prevail here. 
 
Best Bet: Sydney to win the match - $1.82 (Bet365) 

May 4th, 16:35, MCG 

Sitting at the top of the AFL tree are Geelong, flying high with 7 wins from 7 played but the tests continue to come, and it is Melbourne who lie in wait next. 

Hosts Melbourne have been inconsistent by their high standards this season but there certainly is no need to panic and they have a side packed with experience and quality. 

Plenty of experts are waiting for Geelong to falter but their win over Carlton last week felt significant and who knows how far they can go in 2024. 

This should be unmissable for many punters and AFL betting sites, with neither side willing to back down at all and it could be momentum that sees Geelong over the line in a tight game.

May 5th, 19:00, The Gabba 

The start of the 2024 season has been a little underwhelming for Brisbane, who were expected to kick on after reaching the 2023 AFL Grand Final with many AFL betting sites. 

Generally speaking, the AFL waits for nobody though and next up for Brisbane is a clash with old foes Gold Coast.  

Local rivalries come to the fore in this one, but Gold Coast have been going along very well this season, winning 4 of their 7 games played and how they would love to inflict more misery on Brisbane. 

However, the Lions need a win and with the Gabba sure to be backing them to the hilt, they should pick up 4 important points here.
