Adelaide vs Brisbane AFLW Grand Final betting tips – 17/4/2021

Adelaide Oval will be rocking this Saturday as the Crows take on the Brisbane Lions in the 2021 AFLW Grand Final.

This will be the fourth decider in AFLW history, as the 2020 season was called off due to COVID-19, but it will be the third appearance for both the Crows and Lions, who have been the strongest teams in the competition since its inception in 2017.

Adelaide won two of the first three premierships, including the inaugural title, but the Crows will have to do it without their captain this weekend after Chelsea Randall suffered a concussion in their preliminary final victory over Melbourne.

The Lions were runners-up to the Crows in 2017 and again to the Bulldogs in 2018, but can their team-orientated style get them across the line this week?

AFLW Grand Final betting tips

Ashleigh Woodland anytime goalscorer

Erin Phillips will attract the most attention when the superstar goes forward for the Crows, leaving the likes of Ashleigh Woodland in prime position to hit the scoreboard. Woodland played arguably her best game of the season against the Lions back in round four, where the tall forward kicked one goal and four behinds. Woodland has kicked a goal in seven of her 10 outings this season and is a good match up against the Lions.

Greta Bodey anytime goalscorer

With seven goals in the first four rounds, Greta Bodey started the season like a house on fire. Although the Brisbane small forward did slow down as the year progressed, she kicked a pair of majors against Collingwood in last weekend’s preliminary final. Bodey kicked two goals against the Crows back in round four and should feature prominently this Saturday inside 50.

Adelaide Crows to win by 1-39

The midfield combination of Ebony Marinoff, Anne Hatchard and Erin Phillips gets the job done more often than not, as the trio has outclassed almost every outfit that’s opposed them this season. Even without Chelsea Randall, the Crows look solid in the middle and behind the ball. It is only a small boost, but the 1-39 margin for the Crows gets you better odds than the head-to-head market.
