Updated: 20 October 2026 · Season opens March 2027 · Source: Sportsbet

🦘 Our banker: Hawthorn at $5.00 - settled on top of the market as Sam Mitchell's side keeps its 2026 Prelims core together and adds through the draft. Value pick: Western Bulldogs at $9.00 - the only team between the $6-$8 lead group and the $13-$15 second line, which looks underpriced for a side with proven finals-grade talent. Roughie watch: Melbourne at $26.00 - rebuild under new leadership, long odds for a club with a 2021 flag still fresh in the system.

Featured Picks

Our early tips for the 2027 AFL Premiership

Hawthorn Hawks🏆 Banker

2027 Premiership Favourite

$5.00

Hawthorn open as outright market favourite at $5.00. The Hawks were a Prelim-level side in 2026 with a young core only getting better. Sam Mitchell has built an ultra-mobile mids/forward unit, and a quiet trade period keeping their best 22 together is the ideal springboard. Clear number one in the market and a price that is likely to shorten before Round 1.

Western Bulldogs💰 Value

2027 Premiership Contender

$9.00

Our value pick. The Dogs sit alone at $9.00 - sandwiched between the $6-$8 top group and the $13-$15 second line. A roster still built around Bontempelli with a Grand Final appearance on the resume, their price is driven more by inconsistency than ceiling. In an open market, $9 is a workable each-way-adjacent play on a side with the midfield to beat anyone.

MEL

Melbourne Demons🔥 Roughie

2027 Premiership Longshot

$26.00

Melbourne at $26.00 sits in the mid-pack with Adelaide and Gold Coast. The 2021 flag core has turned over but the structure is there - a defence that still travels and a draft/trade cycle that has restocked the midfield. For a club with silverware this century at $26, the roughie play is live.

Hawthorn are the opening favourite at $5.00 ahead of the 2027 season. Brisbane Lions and Fremantle sit next at $6.00 each, then Geelong $8.00, Western Bulldogs $9.00, Sydney $13.00 and Collingwood $15.00.

We rate Western Bulldogs at $9.00. The Dogs are alone between the $6-$8 lead group and the $13-$15 second line, which looks a touch generous given their midfield.
