AFL Tips Round 21: Betting preview, odds and predictions image

Four rounds to go in the AFL season with nine teams still in the race to play AFL finals.

LATEST AFL: Injury news | Coleman Medal leaderboard

All odds per bookmaker Sportsbet.

Western Bulldogs vs. GWS, tip, best bet

Under the roof at Marvel Stadium with two teams that love to attack.

The overs on match total definitely looks the goods.

Bulldogs should be too strong in Melbourne against a GWS without Greene, Kelly and Buckley.

Prediction: Bulldogs by 16 points

Best bet: Total game points +178.5 ($1.87)

Melbourne vs. West Coast prediction, tip, best bet

The Demons choked last week but it's going to be hard to do the same against West Coast.

They battered the Saints for three quarters, and they can do the same to an Eagles side without Harley Reid.

It is at Marvel Stadium, not the MCG, but it should be a comfortable Melbourne win

Prediction: Melbourne by 60 points

Best bet: Melbourne -41.5 ($1.90)

Geelong vs. Port Adelaide prediction, tip, best bet

It's hard to see Port Adelaide keeping this to a respectable margin after the punishment they got from Adelaide last week.

Geelong in Geelong is one of the most daunting trips in football.

Hard to see this line staying at -48.5 for much longer.

Prediction: Geelong by 65 points

Best bet: Geelong -48.5 ($1.90)
