Favorite to win the AFL Grand Final
Geelong (-205)
Geelong finished at No. 1 on the AFL ladder and on the odds board for the Grand Final. The Cats' had an 18-4 record and have won 15 straight games heading into this matchup. Geelong had no trouble in the preliminary final against Brisbane, winning by an astonishing 71 points. If the Cats can pull it off, this will mark Geelong's first AFL Grand Final since 2011.
Sydney (+150)
Sydney finished the season at 15-7 and picked up a stunning one-point victory against Collingwood to get here. Although the Swans have won nine in a row, their toughest challenge by far will be Geelong. A win here would be Sydney's first Grand Final since 2012.

How to bet AFL
Aussie rules betting has plenty of options, from side and totals to line bets, props, margin betting and futures.
Futures betting, also known as an outright, allows you to place wagers on the future results of a competition. And the biggest Aussie Rules event is the AFL Grand Final. The easiest futures bet to find in the AFL betting market is the winner of the AFL Grand Final which is scheduled towards the end of every September at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
AFL Futures odds will usually look like this:
- Richmond +333
This means that on a $100 bet, you'll stand to win $333 if Richmond wins the AFL Grand Final. If it's close to the end of the season and there has been one very dominant footy team, you might see them with a minus sign (-) ahead of their odds.
- Hawthorn -110
This means that if you wagered on Hawthorn at that price, you would need to bet $110 to profit $100 on Hawthorn winning the AFL Premiership.
