There’s some good looking value in most games this week and I’m going to take a chance at a Multi-Bet with CentreBet who are offering a $50 Free Bet for new clients. That’s a good deal no matter how you look at it!

I think there’s great value for both the Bombers, who are in great form at the moment, and the cellar dweller Demons who’re playing a not-very-impressive Freo. With Palmer and Bell out for Fremantle, they simply don’t have any good midfielders. Pavlich will get them close, but I think Melbourne have shown that they can play some decent football this year and I think they’ll be too good. The tanking subject makes games like this tough to pick, I think it would be silly to bet big on either team, especially the Dockers, whereas there’s definitely value in betting on the Demons. Richmond showed how easy it is to beat a team that’s not trying, but this week they’re playing a team of Bombers who look in great form and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Tigers finished the season in 9th position again this year. The bombers on the other hand, I believe are a real chance to make the 8.

• Multi Bet with Collingwood, Geelong, Hawthorn, Sydney and Adelaide with odds of nearly $8.80
• Essendon to beat Richmond at $2.20
• Melbourne to beat Fremantle at $2.85

Here are the rest of the odds with my tips for this weeks winners in bold.

The odds suggest this week will be pretty easy for those involved in footy tipping comps around Australia, there’s not a lot of value to be had on straight out win bets. All the home teams, bar Port Adelaide playing Fremantle are rightful short favourites. I do, however, think there is value to be had for Port Adelaide, the Bulldogs and Melbourne.

My first bet would be for the Power to beat the Dockers. Port have a lot more to lose than Freo, and I think they’ll get up in a reasonably close game.

Second bet this week will be the two top-scoring sides in the competition. Hawthorn are still without a lot of run from the half back line, missing Guerra with a hamstring injury, not to mention the lack of Hodge and Crawford in the middle. The Western Bulldogs have so many avenues to goal and down at the larger than average Aurora Stadium, should find their way to the big sticks plenty of times. If they can hold Buddy and Roughead to only a few goals each, the Doggies can win this one.

And the long-shot for the week. The Dees - IF they can repeat the form they showed last week for David Neitz’ retirement are a chance to upset the Saints.

Here are the current best odds for betting on the footy.
