Best Bet

Fremantle –46.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

Richmond is going through a tough time, and the –46.5 line is an accurate reflection of their ability. It should be an easy win for Fremantle, who bounced back from an opening loss with a win over Melbourne.

They won 118-70 over an improved Melbourne, so it was a classy win. It should result in another one-sided win, and with Richmond losing its last 12 day games, there isn’t much to get excited about for the visitors.

We expect money to come for Fremantle, so the line could move to around –50.5 on game day. We recommend including the –46.5 in AFL picks this week before the move comes.

Same Game Multi

Fremantle -46.5, Josh Treacy 3+ Goals, Shai Bolton 2+ Goals, Total Match Points Over 169.5 @ $7.00

Bet Now

Josh Treacy kicked four goals against Melbourne, and he should get every chance to kick more against Richmond. With 13 goals from his last five games, the Fremantle forward is playing well, and punters get $1.77 for a 3+ goal outing.

Shai Bolton started the season with back-to-back two-goal games, and he could add to it. He’s a player who thrives with momentum, and we expect him to inject himself into the attack in the early stages. The $1.77 to kick 2+ goals is a good AFL same game multi bet pick.

We’re not surprised to see the total points line at 169.5 points. Richmond isn’t expected to score big, but the final score should be around 120-59, which is enough to cash the over.

Best Value Bet

Shai Bolton First Goal Scorer @ $11.00

Bet Now

Bolton could get out and running from the opening throw, and he could kick the first goal in the first minute of the contest.

He loves to score on the run, and with his goal scorer form picking up with four goals in two games, he’s playing with confidence.

Treacy is the $7.25 favourite for obvious reasons, but punters get better odds for Bolton to make his mark early in the contest.
