AFL Multi bet of the Week | Elimination & Qualification Finals

Having the final 8 in the AFL season confirmed has created plenty of activity with the biggest AFL betting sites and in the first weekend of the finals, there will be two sides that fall by the wayside.

The race for the top 8 has dominated the column inches with social media and AFL betting sites alike in recent teams but for St Kilda, Sydney, GWS Giants, and Carlton, the elimination finals present a real opportunity for them to gatecrash the top 4 in the AFL.

Meanwhile, Collingwood, Melbourne, Brisbane and Port Adelaide go at it in the qualification finals, with the winners booking a fast pass to the semi-finals, whilst the losers will have to go through the rigour of another playoff game.

The first qualification final of the 2023 AFL campaign pits Collingwood vs Melbourne and it should be a game to remember.

Both sides are amongst the strong favoruites to go all the way and life the AFL Premiership this season with many multi betting sites and this promises to be the perfect pre-cursor between two explosive sides.

Collingwood’s season has been well documented, cruising through the league to sit pretty at the top of the AFL regular season table. This is the real stuff here though and they will want to put down a marker, as they chase their first Premiership since 2013.

Melbourne meanwhile have been steadily going about their business this term and they look to be coming good when it really matters. They fear absolutely nobody, and they know that a win here would put them just two games away from AFL glory this season.

Qualification final games always tend to be exciting affairs, with both sides knowing they have another chance after this one and whilst it is a tough one to call in terms of the result, points look guaranteed.

Elimination finals are always ferocious battles and Carlton vs Sydney has certainly whetted the appetite with many AFL betting sites.

Carlton have the bit between their teeth and plenty of momentum heading into the closing weeks of the season and they will be doing all they can to carry that through the finals.

They know Sydney will provide a stern test, but they will believe that they have the players to overcome it.

Sydney meanwhile have enjoyed a similar season, struggling in the early weeks before coming very good in the closing stages, to book their place inside the top 8. This is a free hit for the Swans, very little is expected of them, and they should play with a real sense of freedom here. 

This should be an excellent one, with both sides sure to go out swinging and whilst Sydney are sure to cause some problems, Carlton should prevail in front of their home fans here.

Concluding the run of elimination finals is St Kilda vs GWS Giants, the two sides that finished the season in 6th and 7th respectively.

Neither side had a particularly outstanding season, but they have plenty to get behind with the notable AFL betting sites and they will both believe that they can win this one at the MCG.

St Kilda have been in the mix throughout the 2023 season, without really troubling the big boys but their status in the top 8 is unquestioned and they will think that they can surprise plenty of other sides in the finals here.

The GWS Giants meanwhile have produced a fine run of form in the closing weeks of the season to crack the top 8 and anything beyond here will feel like a bonus.

On paper, this looks to be a very even matchup, with very little to split the teams and both will feel that they can progress to the semi-finals, against one of the big boys.

Home advantage should assist St Kilda and whilst the GWS Giants will push them, it could well be the Saints who have too much big game experience in this one.
