Last week at Superbru the average AFL tipper managed over 6 out of 9 correct outcomes โ a strong score that reflects both predictable results and tipper intelligence! Can that average be bettered in Round 7 this weekend?
Here, weโll be letting you know who the majority of Superbru players to have already made their tips for Round 7 expect to win each game in the upcoming AFL round. With a bit of luck, the insights will give you a helping hand with your own tips for this weekโs action.
Geelong Cats vs. GWS Giants
Starting with Geelong vs. GWS , and this is by far the tightest fixture of Round 7 in terms of tips with a very slight majority of 53% tipping the home side. GWS are just two points behind ladder leaders Richmond and West Coast however home advantage is perhaps what has influenced Superbru tippers as the current average pick stands at Geelong by just 1.5.
Western Bulldogs vs. Gold Coast Suns
Another fixture that is expected to go the home teamโs way, 69% of players have predicted the Western Bulldogs will beat the Gold Coast Suns on Saturday. The Bulldogs beat Carlton as expected last week, while Gold Coast were comfortably defeated by Adelaide.
Essendon vs. Hawthorn
Hawthorn have had the far better season so far when compared with Essendon and that form is reflected clearly by the Superbru tips made so far with 91% picking them to win at the MCG. The average margin pick suggests Hawthorn will win by 17.
West Coast Eagles vs. Port Adelaide
A game that could well be interesting between two strong sides, there is currently 88% of the Superbru community tipping West Coast to defeat Port Adelaide in Perth. Since losing to the Sydney Swans in the opening round, West Coast have looked strong with a 100% win record. Could Port Adelaide be the team that breaks that winning run to gain a fifth victory of the campaign and match West Coastโs season record?
Sydney Swans vs. North Melbourne Kangaroos
As you may expect given the teams involved, each of the remaining fixtures in Round 7 have a very clear favourite. 95% of tippers expect the Swans to beat North Melbourne at the SCG and the current average margin pick suggests theyโll do so by 20.
Adelaide Crows vs. Carlton
This one seems to be the โbankerโ of the weekend as a giant 99% of players have tipped Adelaide to defeat Carlton who are still without a win this season. The average overall tip is one of the highest weโve seen so far this year - Crows by 32.67.
Richmond vs. Fremantle
Similarly, thereโs a very large majority predicting Richmond will beat Fremantle and continue their dominant start to this AFL season. 97% are currently tipping the Tigers, meaning there is a very brave 3% backing a shock Fremantle win!
St. Kilda vs. Melbourne
Though not as strong as in the above two fixtures, there is still a fair majority tipping Melbourne to defeat St. Kilda this Sunday as they look to build on their Round 6 victory over Essendon. The average overall pick for this one is Melbourne by 13.
Brisbane Lions vs. Collingwood
Finally, nearly all of the Superbru community also expect the Brisbane Lions to remain winless after Round 7 as 92% expect Collingwood to pick up a win at the Gabba. The away side had won three on the bounce before their defeat against Richmond last week.
