Lachie’s AFL Round 21 Preview: Essendon Bombers v West Coast Eagles | Betting Preview 

The Bombers face off against the Eagles this afternoon at Marvel Stadium to kick off a big day of Saturday Footy. As usual though with games containing West Coast, is isn't necessarily a blockbuster as I think 99% of AFL followers would think the Bombers win comfortably today. Given the high handicap line with Eagles games it is often hard to find value in the team market, therefore I have chosen a Same Game Multi to hopefully kick off your Saturday with a winner!

Lachie’s AFL Round 20 Preview: Hawthorn Hawks v St Kilda Saints | Betting Preview 

This one could be a strangely entertaining games. The Hawks don't have much to play for, but they do come to play often, and put up some great performances whilst playing very eye-pleasing football. The Saints, on the contrary, are not pleasing on the eye, and have been very poor lately, but there season is well and truly on the line. With their current position in the 8 being increasingly vulnerable with the form or other sides just below or around them, and their tough run coming up, they simply must win this match to keep their season alive. Read below for selection for the game and the reasoning behind it!

Lachie’s AFL Round 20 Preview: Adelaide Crows v Port Adelaide Power | Betting Preview 

Showdown is here! There won't have been too many before this with so much on the line. The Crows simply must pull off the upset to keep any slim hopes of finals alive, if motivation to beat their biggest and most hated rivals wasn't enough! The Power have been incredibly impressive this season and sit in 2nd place, but after losing last week, and a trip down to Geelong next week, plus the Lions and Demons hunting down their place on the ladder for a home final 1st week of Finals, they'll be looking at this game as well as a must-win game. The Crows took the chocolates earlier in the year in the early match this season. I expect them to pull off the upset and make it 2/2 against their loud and noisy neighbours, and keep their season alive. Read below to see why and my betting selection for the game!

Lachie’s AFL Round 20 Preview: Essendon Bombers v Sydney Swans | Betting Preview 

A huge game here at Marvel this Saturday night. Two proud clubs with a history of classic matches and nail biting finishes, both with a lot on the line. The Bombers were one of the surprise packets this season, as not many predicted they'd be in the Finals conversation, but after losing 4 of their past 5 games their season in at risk of going into the bin very quickly if they lose this week. The Swans on the other hand, with injuries galore, and a number of a close losses were one of the biggest surprises for the wrong reasons, however, after going 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss over their past 5, they've kept their final hopes alive. Win and they're still in the hunt, lose and it's very much season over for the 2022 Premiership Runner-Ups. Read below to see who I've decided to tip, and my selection for the big game!

Lachie’s AFL Round 20 Preview: Gold Coast Suns v Brisbane Lions | Betting Preview 

The Q-Clash! One of two locals derbies in Round 20 of the AFL Season. This was looking a more promising encounter even just over a month ago, but since then the Suns have sacked their head coach and been smoked in 4 of their past 5 matches. Whilst still a very dangerous side with the amount of talent they have at their disposal, plus being quite good at Metricon Stadium at home, the Lions are charging towards September with Premiership aspirations on their minds. Expect the Lions to once again bash up on the low on confidence Suns who seem a bit lost without a true Senior Coach and yet another fruitless season. Read below to see my reasoning and my selection for this match up.

Lachie’s AFL Round 20 Preview: Geelong Cats v Fremantle Dockers | Betting Preview 

Two 2022 Final Participants last season, with small big of history between two given recent history. Whilst yes the Cats are still a very good side after their 22' Premiership, and yes they're playing at maybe the home at the GHMBA fortress in Geelong, and yes the Dockers have had a very disappointing year, BUT the Dockers have won the last 2 matches between the two sides, with 1 of them being earlier in the year, and the other being actually at GHMBA just last season, in a very surprising but impressive victory. The Cats will have remembered this, and will be looking at not just teaching the Dockers a lesson, and giving them a reminder of who's boss, Geelong need the win to ensure their spot in the 8 is not in a dangerous spot. I expect to the Cats to come out and win comfortbly, read below to see why and see my punting selection for the match.

Lachie’s AFL Round 20 Preview: Western Bulldogs v GWS Giants | Betting Preview

A battle for the top 8 here! Both of these sides are looking to make the bottom half of the 8 come the end of the year and currently sit there, though very narrowly. Very much an eight pointer with the winner being able to breathe a little easier, and getting to push a down a fellow contender for their spot further down. With such a large group fighting for finals come this late stage of the year, much is on the line, and in particular, this game holds a very strong case to be the most meaningful game of the round. Read below to see who I have tipped and a selection to hopefully start your Saturday off with a nice winner!
