AFL Grand Final tips: Betting preview, odds and predictions for Geelong vs. Brisbane image

Two of the last three AFL premiers will square off in the AFL grand final - just for something new.

The Cats - flag winners in 2022 - take on reigning premiers Brisbane in what promises to be a cracking grand final.

Who will come out on top and what bets do we believe are value?

The Sporting News has you covered.

All odds per bookmaker Sportsbet.

Geelong vs. Hawthorn prediction, tip, best bets

There doesn't appear to be a whole lot of obvious value in the head-to-head market.

You could maybe lean toward the underdog in a game that could go either way.

If we had to make a prediction, we would say Geelong narrowly but the Lions are up and about.

Cam Rayner has moved further forward in recent weeks to make Brisbane's forward line more dangerous. He looks to be value at $2.12 for two or more goals.

Patrick Dangerfield is second favourite for the Norm Smith, and with his ripping recent form, you feel like the vote could go his way if there are a bunch of top Cats performers in a win.

Prediction: Geelong by 10 points

Best bet: Cameron Rayner 2+ goals ($2.12)

Norm Smith medal tip: Patrick Dangerfield ($8.00)
