AFL 2025: Premiership odds shift after Hawthorn loss

The Brisbane Lions and GWS Giants are the new favourites in 2025 AFL Premiership betting after some big results in Gather Round.

The Lions kept their perfect record intact with an incredible comeback win over the Western Bulldogs on Saturday, and BetOnline now has the reigning premiers at $5.50 to defend their title.

Brisbane share that quote with the Giants, who are fresh off an impressive victory over St Kilda at Norwood Oval on Sunday.

On the other hand, Hawthorn have slid from outright favouritism to the third line of premiership betting at $7 after their five-goal loss to Port Adelaide on Sunday night.

Collingwood and Geelong have shortened to $9 apiece following their respective wins over Sydney and Adelaide, while the Gold Coast Suns loom large at $13 after blowing away North Melbourne in the Barossa Valley on Saturday.

The Crows ($13) and Swans ($17) have both drifted slightly, with Fremantle ($15) and the Western Bulldogs ($17) also among the outside chances.

Port’s price has plunged from $81 to $26 after the Power claimed their first win of the season, while Carlton offer some real juice at $41 for those who believe they can still deliver on preseason expectations.

Meanwhile, the best AFL bookmakers have put a line right through Melbourne ($251) after another disappointing display in their loss to Essendon on Saturday night.
