2025 AFLW Round 6 Betting Tips
Collingwood vs Hawthorn
Saturday 12:35pm AEST, Victoria Park
Victoria Park sets the stage for a fascinating Round 6 clash as Collingwood hosts Hawthorn. The Magpies enter this game with renewed confidence after a stunning upset victory over Sydney, a team that had been a top contender. The Pies' success was largely built on a resolute defensive effort, holding the previously high-scoring Swans goalless for three quarters. The performance of number one draft pick Ash Centra was a highlight, with her 18 disposals and two goals earning her a Rising Star nomination.
However, a well-drilled Hawthorn outfit presents a different challenge. The Hawks are a genuine finals contender with a 4-1 record and a balanced list. While they suffered their first loss last week to Adelaide, Hawthorn's midfield, led by the formidable duo of Emily Bates and Eliza West, remains a dominant force. Up forward, Áine McDonagh has been a consistent threat, and the Hawks' defensive unit has been exceptional, ranking among the league's best for intercept possessions.
Though Collingwood's statistical improvements this season are noteworthy, Hawthorn's experience and depth make them a more polished team. The Hawks, who comprehensively beat the Pies by 47 points last season, are a legitimate threat to win the premiership and are poised for a decisive away win. Expect them to apply consistent pressure and control the contest, comfortably covering the -13.5 spread.
Hawthorn –13.5

Port Adelaide vs Geelong
Saturday 1:05pm AEST, Alberton Oval
Saturday afternoon at Alberton Oval promises a gripping encounter as two teams with identical 2-3 records and legitimate finals aspirations go head-to-head. Port Adelaide enters this match with immense confidence after a massive upset victory over previously undefeated Melbourne. The Power's game plan, built on a high-pressure, kick-heavy style, successfully stifled the Demons' running game and highlighted the effectiveness of their efficient ball movement.
While Port Adelaide’s win was impressive, Geelong is building significant momentum with back-to-back dominant victories over Essendon and Richmond. The Cats boast an experienced and polished midfield, led by the dynamic duo of Nina Morrison and Georgie Prespakis, who will look to control the clearances and expose Port’s defensive structure. With plenty of firepower up forward, the Cats' clean ball movement and elite running ability should prove too much for the Power to contain for four quarters.
This is a pivotal match for both teams, as a win would put them firmly in the hunt for a spot in the top eight. However, despite the home-ground advantage for Port Adelaide, Geelong's recent form and overall team cohesion make them the more formidable opponent. The Cats' ability to convert opportunities inside 50 and their superior midfield depth should see them get on top early and comfortably cover the -8.5 spread in a decisive victory away from home.
Geelong –8.5

North Melbourne vs Carlton
Saturday 2:35pm AEST, Arden Street Oval
The top of the table clash between North Melbourne and Carlton at Arden Street Oval is set to be the match of the round. North Melbourne remains the only undefeated team and is coming off a statement victory against Brisbane in a Grand Final rematch. The Kangaroos have been a dominant force this season, led by the brilliant Jasmine Garner and Ashleigh Riddell in the midfield. Their forward line, featuring Kate Shierlaw and Tahlia Randall, is potent and clinical, consistently creating scoring opportunities from inside 50.
While Carlton's start to the season has been impressive with a 4-1 record, their true test comes against the reigning premiers. The Blues' midfield, led by Mimi Hill and Keeley Sherar, will need to be at their absolute best to match North Melbourne's formidable on-ball brigade. The Blues have been good at applying pressure, but the Kangaroos’ ball movement and ability to find space will likely be too much to handle.
North Melbourne is a well-oiled machine that shows no signs of slowing down. Their ability to switch to a lockdown defense when required and then transition into a free-flowing, high-scoring offence makes them almost impossible to stop. Given their current form and the significant gap between them and the rest of the competition, expect North Melbourne to assert their dominance from the opening bounce and comfortably cover the -33.5 spread in a huge win.
North Melbourne –33.5

Fremantle vs Essendon
Saturday 3:05pm AEST, Fremantle Oval
Fremantle will look to back-to-back wins when they host Essendon at Fremantle Oval. The Dockers are coming off a gutsy victory in the Western Derby against West Coast, a result that keeps their finals hopes alive. Led by the dynamic Kiara Bowers and the ever-reliable Aisling McCarthy, Fremantle’s midfield is a tough unit to match. Their forward line, with the likes of Hayley Miller leading the charge, is also a constant threat.
Essendon, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Geelong. The Bombers have shown flashes of brilliance this season, particularly with the impressive work of Madison Prespakis in the middle and Bonnie Toogood up forward. However, their consistency has been an issue, and they will face a huge challenge against a Fremantle side that is playing with renewed confidence and a strong home-ground advantage.
This shapes up as a crucial match for both teams, but Fremantle’s recent form and the momentum from their derby win should be enough to get them over the line. The Dockers are a more cohesive and experienced team, and their pressure around the ball will likely overwhelm the Bombers. Expect the home side to control the game and secure a win by more than a goal, comfortably covering the -4.5 spread.
Fremantle –4.5

Sydney vs GWS
Sunday 1:05pm AEST, Henson Park
The cross-town rivalry heats up in Round 6 of the AFLW as the GWS Giants, fresh off a drought-breaking victory, face the undefeated Sydney Swans. The Giants enter this matchup with newfound confidence after a commanding performance against the Western Bulldogs, led by a career-best three-goal game from Georgia Garnett, who celebrates her 50th AFLW appearance this week. Their improved ball movement and disposal efficiency will be key to challenging a formidable Swans side that is coming off a surprising loss to Collingwood.
Despite the Swans' setback, they remain one of the league's top-tier teams, boasting a potent forward line and strong defensive structure. However, the Giants' recent surge and the emotional significance of a derby game, particularly with Garnett's milestone, will fuel a fierce contest. While the Swans are expected to win, the GWS Giants are a strong chance to keep the margin close, and with a +35.5 spread, they're the smart bet to cover the line in what promises to be an entertaining Sydney Derby.
GWS +35.5

Melbourne vs West Coast
Sunday 1:05pm AEST, Casey Fields
The clash between Melbourne and West Coast will see a battle of former teammates and mentors. Melbourne, coming off their first loss of the season, will be hungry to reassert their dominance. The Demons have been a powerhouse, but their last outing against Port Adelaide showed they can be challenged. They'll be looking to their star-studded midfield and forward line, led by the likes of Tyla Hanks and Kate Hore, to get back on the winners' list.
West Coast, under the guidance of second-year coach and former Demons captain Daisy Pearce, has shown glimpses of a bright future despite a mixed start to the season. However, the Demons' firepower and their determination to bounce back from a loss will be too much. Expect Melbourne to deliver a statement victory at home, covering the -17.5 spread in the process.
Melbourne –17.5

Western Bulldogs vs Brisbane
Sunday 3:05pm AEST, Mission Whitten Oval
The Western Bulldogs face a significant challenge in Round 6 as they host the powerful Brisbane Lions at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs will be buoyed by defender Issy Grant's 50th career match, but their recent form has been inconsistent, and they're coming off a disappointing loss to the GWS Giants. Despite some positive signs, including the return of key players, they will have their work cut out for them against one of the league's perennial powerhouses.
The Lions, coming off a close loss to North Melbourne, will be determined to bounce back and solidify their place among the competition's elite. Their strong midfield, led by Cathy Svarc, who also celebrates a milestone, and the potent forward line will be too much for the young Bulldogs. While the Dogs will fight hard, Brisbane's class and experience should see them run away with the game. The Lions are a safe bet to cover the -28.5 spread and deliver a decisive victory on the road.
Brisbane –28.5

St Kilda vs Richmond
Sunday 3:05pm AEST, RSEA Park
St Kilda will look to continue their strong form when they host a struggling Richmond outfit at RSEA Park in the AFLW's Round 6. The Saints are coming off a dominant 52-point win over Essendon and will be celebrating key milestones, with J'Noemi Anderson's 25th and Bianca Jakobsson's 50th AFLW games, as well as the club's second-ever 'Spud's Game' in honour of the late Danny Frawley. This emotional backdrop, combined with their recent on-field success, should give them a significant boost.
Richmond, on the other hand, is still searching for their first win of the season and has faced a series of heavy losses. While they will be buoyed by the return of Grace Egan and Montana Beruldsen, they've also lost ruck Montana McKinnon for the season and Emelia Yassir to suspension. The Saints' momentum and powerful forward line, led by Jesse Wardlaw, should prove too much for the Tigers' defense. Expect St Kilda to deliver a convincing performance, easily covering the -13.5 spread and celebrating a memorable victory at home.
St Kilda –13.5

Gold Coast vs Adelaide
Sunday 5:05pm AEST, People First Stadium
The Gold Coast Suns face another monumental task in Round 6 as they host the Adelaide Crows. The Suns are coming off a difficult loss to the Blues by 46 points. While they will be celebrating a milestone with Jamie Stanton's return to the team, their depleted lineup and recent form suggest they will struggle to match the Crows' firepower. Gold Coast's ability to rebound from a tough week both physically and mentally will be the key to keeping this game competitive.
The Crows, meanwhile, are looking to string together back-to-back wins after taking care of the Hawks by 21 points last weekend. Despite being without key players like Chelsea Randall and Caitlin Gould, their depth and experience should shine through. The Crows' formidable midfield, led by Anne Hatchard and Ebony Marinoff, will likely dominate the contest and provide their forward line with plenty of opportunities. Expect Adelaide to be ruthless and capitalize on the Suns' misfortunes, comfortably covering the -35.5 spread in a one-sided affair.
Adelaide –35.5
