In other AFL betting movements:

· Richmond v Collingwood: This may look like an even match but punters certainly don’t think so, with the money coming in 20 to 1 in favour of Collingwood ($1.61) over Richmond ($2.35).

· Carlton v Melbourne: Things have gone from bad to worse for Melbourne who have drifted from $4.85 to $5.85. Carlton ($1.13) are one of the best backed team of the round.

· Port Adelaide v Brisbane: Brisbane will remain winless according to punters. Virtually no money for the Lions ($6.00) against the Power ($1.13). In fact, all of the money suggests Port will cover the line of 36.5.

· GWS v Western Bulldogs: Punters don’t seem sure on this one and there hasn’t been much money bet for it. But the money that has been bet has been on the Bulldogs which has seen them firm into $1.67.

· Geelong v West Coast: The fortress at Geelong looks to remain solid, with all the money with the Cats who have firmed from $1.44 to $1.30. Not a lot of interest for West Coast who are at tempting odds of $3.55.

· Gold Coast v Hawthorn: Punters are jumping all over Hawthorn ($1.25) in this one. They are clearly the best backed team of the round. There has been less than $1000 bet on the Suns ($4.00).

· Sydney v North Melbourne: There has been five times the money on Sydney ($1.38) in this one, with only a few bets placed on North Melbourne ($3.10).

· St Kilda v Adelaide: This one is literally 50/50 as far as punters are concerned. Money for both teams is almost identical, with slightly more money on Adelaide ($1.67) over St Kilda ($2.20).

· Fremantle v Essendon: Absolutely no love for the Dockers ($1.67 out to $1.80). There has been five times the money for the Bombers who are in from $2.15 into $2.00. If the money keeps coming they could start as favourites.
