AFL GRAND FINAL 2024: SYDNEY v BRISBANE PREVIEW & BETTING TIPS

Total match points: Over 172.5

Grand finals are usually high-scoring affairs, with four of the last five going over the total points line. Expect no different this time, as both teams have averaged over 90 points throughout this finals series. The Swans were also the highest-scoring team during the home-and-away season, so back this match to go over 172.5 points.

First quarter result: Brisbane Lions

The Swans’ slow starts have been well publicised, as they have won just four first quarters since round 10. Over the same stretch, the Lions have been excellent starters with a record of 15-2 in the first term. Although Sydney remain favourites for the match, expect Brisbane to burst out of the blocks.

Hugh McCluggage for 25 or more disposals

With Lachie Neale expected to get plenty of attention in the middle, expect Hugh McCluggage to play a major role for Brisbane. He has collected over 24 disposals in each of his last five matches, while he has recently excelled against the Swans with over 25 touches in their last two meetings.

Kai Lohmann for two or more goals

Brisbane small forward Kai Lohmann has been especially impressive over the past five weeks, averaging two goals per game. He has kicked multiples on nine occasions this season, which suggest the $3 on offer at Unibet is excellent value for Lohmann to kick two or more.

Matt Roberts for 20 or more disposals

Matt Roberts has been excellent across half-back for the Swans this season. Averaging 18.3 disposals per game, Roberts has collected over 20 disposals in seven of his last nine matches, so back him to get to that figure again on the biggest stage.

Chad Warner for two or more goals

With 34 goals for the season, Sydney’s Chad Warner has been one of the best goalscoring midfielders in the AFL. He has kicked multiple goals 11 times this season, including last week against the Power, so back Warner to continue his goalscoring form with a couple in the decider.

Joe Daniher for three or more goals

Brisbane key forward Joe Daniher was goalless last week while taking on ruck duties against the Cats, but his four-goal effort against the Giants the week prior showed his quality. He has booted three or more goals on nine occasions this year, including against the Swans in round 19, so back him to play a big role once again.

Errol Gulden for 30 or more disposals

Leading the Swans for disposals this season, expect Errol Gulden to find plenty of the footy on the vast expanses of the MCG. He averages 27 disposals in his last two matches against the Lions, and as he isn’t expected to cop a hard tag, $3.25 is excellent value for Gulden to have 30 or more touches.
