Best Bet

Adelaide +7.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

Adelaide looks for consecutive wins over the Western Bulldogs, having beaten them 111-72 last year. That was a good performance, and given the way Adelaide has played in 2025, it’s going well enough to win as an outsider.

The Crows have four wins from their last five games, and although that’s the same record as the Bulldogs, Adelaide has recent wins over Hawthorn and Brisbane, who are AFL premiership contenders.

Playing on the road isn’t ideal for Adelaide, as it plays better at home, but given the +7.5 line, we can’t turn it down. They are a good chance of making a deep run in the AFL finals, and a win over the Bulldogs puts them in a good position.

Same Game Multi

Adelaide +7.5, Aaron Naughton 2+ Goals, Darcy Fogarty 2+ Goals, Total Match Points Under 179.5 @ $7.25

Bet Now

Aaron Naughton is having a good year for the Bulldogs, and although we’re picking them to lose, he should have a good game. He pays $1.70 to have 2+ goals, and after scoring eight goals from his last two games, he’s a good bet.

We’re also backing Darcy Fogarty to kick 2+ goals for Adelaide. He had been struggling for three consecutive games before kicking two last week against Melbourne, and he should get a prime opportunity to kick multiple goals on Saturday.

Under 179.5 is a good line. They are good scoring teams, but they could cancel each other out. They combined for 183 points last year, but that followed a 125-point total in 2023. Our final score prediction is 87-80, which gives punters plenty of room to work with.

Best Value Bet

Mark Keane 20+ Disposals @ $4.25

Bet Now

Mark Keane has already posted a 20+ disposal game in the last five weeks, and we’re backing him to have another busy game at the back.

He comes off 18 and 17 disposal games, so he has been right around the mark, and we expect Adelaide’s defence to play better than expected.

He’s a value bet at $4.25.
