RICHMOND V MELBOURNE
Betting Strategy
BACK: Melbourne – Line (-29.5) at $1.87
With Melbourne and Richmond coming off a bye, turnaround between games won't be an issue for these two sides who had bad losses in their last starts. Richmond had the more humiliating of the two losses, going down by 49 points to West Coast who couldn't buy a win in the last 2 years. Melbourne lost to last years Grand Finalist Brisbane in their last match, but were on a 4 game winning streak prior to that. Their loss could have come down the toll of travel after back-to-back games in Adelaide.
ESSENDON V COLLINGWOOD
Betting Strategy
BACK: Collingwood Win at $1.44+
One of best games on the AFL calendar every year, the traditional ANZAC Day game is always one of the highlights of the year. Collingwood will enjoy the 90,000+ crowd, a situation they have been accustomed to the last 2-3 years including their grand final win last year. Essendon have a young side in comparison, and although they have started better than expected (4 wins, 2 losses), they are yet to knock off a side that made the top-4 from last season. Collingwood's ability to wear down teams over 4 quarters was on full display last week against Port Adelaide and they look threatening to do the same this week.
