Geelong Cats vs Brisbane Lions Odds
Geelong Cats vs Brisbane Lions Preview
The 2025 AFL Grand Final first goal scorer market is loaded with genuine contenders, and it’s no surprise that Jeremy Cameron heads the betting at $7.50. The Geelong spearhead is renowned for starting quickly and converting half-chances, making him a prime candidate to open proceedings.
Brisbane’s Logan Morris ($9) shapes as a danger, having proven himself as a reliable target inside 50 this season. Tyson Stengle ($11) is another who could strike early, with his sharp leading patterns and crumbing ability perfectly suited to chaotic opening minutes.
A cluster of Lions sit at $12, including Cam Rayner, Zac Bailey and Kai Lohmann – all capable of explosive bursts that could deliver the first strike. Patrick Dangerfield and Shannon Neale also share that line, with Dangerfield often pushing forward to make an impact in big games.
Charlie Cameron ($13) is rarely far from the action, while Shaun Mannagh ($13) is an intriguing smoky after showing he knows how to find goals on the big stage. Further down, the likes of Ty Gallop and Callum Ah Chee ($16) offer strong value.
With both sides boasting dangerous forward lines, punters can expect the first goal to set the tone for a blockbuster contest.
