GEELONG VS ADELAIDE

Betting Strategy

BACK (HANDICAP) Geelong+9.5pts

The Cats are in season best form with a commanding win over the Lions followed by a belting of the Eagles away. They need to open the round with a win to keep their chances of finals action alive, and it is at the fortress that is their home ground.
The Crows have been a touch vulnerable over the last four-five weeks and look gettable. The Cats at the line are probably the safest play.

AFLW OVERVIEW

The AFLW enters season number 9, with all 18 teams represented. Brisbane are the defending premiers having toppled North Melbourne in a thrilling Grand Final. The league started with 8 teams before expanding to 10 in 2019, 14 in 2021 and the full 18 teams in 2022. AFLW is the most attended women's football competition in Australia. Adelaide has won 3 premierships to be the competition's most successful club, with the Brisbane Lions appearing in 5 grand finals, and winning 2. The 2020 season was abandoned on the eve of the finals due to the outbreak of Covid-19 with no premier declared. The Bulldogs and Melbourne have each won one premiership in the competition's history.
