2025 AFL Round 22: Tips, Predictions & Betting Odds

August 5th 2025, 12:00pm, By: Jake Smit

AFL Round 22 Betting Tips

AFL Round 22 in the 2025 season begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the MCG between Hawthorn and Collingwood. Friday night footy should be an absolute bloodbath with the Cats hosting the Bombers at GMHBA Stadium, although we are still on Jezza watch as he approaches the ton. Super Saturday follows with a juicy four-match slate for fans to enjoy, headlined by the Lions vs Swans at the Gabba, with the Lions chasing a top two finish. Finally, the round comes to an end on Sunday with a three-game slate, and it's potentially all one-sided matchups on the card, although it'll be interesting to see how the Demons perform in their first match post-Goodwin, as they host the desperate Bulldogs.

As always, Before You Bet will be providing betting tips for EVERY game in the 2025 AFL season. The links below take you directly to our game previews, or you can also head to our AFL Tips page where you will find all of our content for season 2025!
