Moved Thread AFL Premiership Favourite Odds for Grand Final Week Throughout The Years

[GoldbergsGold]

I have been curious, what have been the premiership favourite odds for teams throughout the years the week of the Grand Final? I believe many are archived online, but some may only be in newspapers for older Grand Finals.


2017 perception of the premier during Grand Final week.

2014 you could get $4 on the Hawks.

Be interesting to know the longest odds for the winning side. West Coast 2018 or Hawks 2008 would be up there

I think OP’s question is more about how well the expert analysts can pick the favourite, teams defying the odds, etc.

I think OddsPortal would have this.

 

[Cuzz09]

Hawks 2008 yes surely, but I recall West Coast only being slight underdogs - it was a hard match to tip. I reckon I tipped Collingwood just because of the venue. The Bulldogs were sentimental favourites in 2016 but surely bookies' underdogs. We were underdogs in both 1997 and 1998.

I actually prefer not to check the betting odds prior to the granny, not due to any moral aversion to gambling but I think seeing a number spoils the magic of the uncertainty over the result.

I think it's worthwhile to point out the ever present saturation of gambling.

Pretty good source, but only goes up back to 2009.

2014 you could get $4 on the Hawks.

Last year you could get $3 on Geelong winning margin 1-100 on a couple of the smaller sites. Suffice to say there were some nervous punters in the last quarter.

How much were Geelong paying to win by 100 plus in 2007?

Adelaide 1997 the biggest upset of modern times.

The dude was just asking who was the favourite for each grand final . You cannot bet on these games as they have already happened. Whinging about gambling in this case is just soft

Collingwood should never have been favourites against us tbh.

Also can't believe Port were paying as low as $3 in 2007.

2003 will be one of the great mysteries in life. Guess that’s one of the good things about bookmaking. If they’re happy to take the price so be it

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Can anyone dig up some old predictions from journalists? I use to have a book on the 2007 GF, I remember only 3 picked Port to win. Highest margin prediction was 60 points for Geelong to win from one journalist.
