First Goal Scorer Odds


First goal scorer markets are always popular in a Grand Final. Jeremy Cameron ($7.50) is the obvious favourite with 88 goals this year, but Brisbane’s Zach Bailey ($14) offers value after kicking the Lions’ first in the 2023 decider. Cam Rayner is another option if he can break free early, while Ky Loman looms as a longshot at $16.

Norm Smith Medal Predictions


Jeremy Cameron is in the mix, but midfielders often dominate Norm Smith voting. Hugh McCluggage ($13) comes off a massive prelim and could benefit with Lachie Neale under an injury cloud. Zach Bailey ($17) and Josh Dunkley ($17) also provide strong value given their form. For Geelong, Cameron or even Tom Atkins are live chances if the Cats prevail.

AFL Grand Final Player Prop Bets


Josh Dunkley – 25+ disposals: Dunkley has cleared this mark in his last six games against Geelong and sits around $1.95.
Dayne Zorko – 25+ disposals: At $1.65, he looks a strong pick to rack up touches under defensive pressure, with $2.15 for 30+.
Hugh McCluggage – 5+ tackles: Found at PlayUp, this market highlights his two-way influence.
Tom Atkins – tackles machine: Geelong’s midfield stopper has been a reliable option for multi-builders.
