2025 AFLW Round 7 Betting Tips
Geelong vs Hawthorn
Thursday 7:15pm AEST, GMHBA Stadium
Hawthorn will look to continue their impressive run of form when they travel to GMHBA Stadium to take on Geelong in a massive Round 7 clash. The Hawks are flying, sitting third on the ladder with five wins and just one loss, including a strog victory over Collingwood last week. Their defence has been a rock, conceding the third-fewest points in the competition, while their midfield, led by Emily Bates and Eliza West, has been dominant. The Hawks will be out to prove their top-four credentials against a Cats side that has been in good touch recently.
Geelong, currently eighth on the ladder with a 3-3 record, enter the contest on a three-game winning streak and will be confident of challenging the Hawks at home. While the Cats boast a potent attacking game, their defence has been more vulnerable, conceding more than double the number of points as the Hawks so far this season. The last time these two teams met at GMHBA Stadium, the Hawks secured a convincing 18-point victory in one of the highest-scoring games in AFLW history. Look for the Hawks' suffocating defence and elite midfield to ensure a tight contest, allowing them to cover the +7.5 spread.

Melbourne vs Gold Coast
Friday 1:05pm AEST, Casey Field
Melbourne is looking to solidify its top-two position on the ladder when they host the Gold Coast Suns at Casey Fields. The Demons are coming off a dominant 51-point victory over West Coast, a performance that saw star forward Eden Zanker kick a career-high five goals. Melbourne's offence has been firing on all cylinders, scoring the second-most points in the competition this season. They will be keen to replicate their last performance and continue their strong run of form at home as they push towards a home final.
While Gold Coast sits near the bottom of the ladder, they showed in their last outing against Adelaide that they are far more competitive than their record suggests. The Suns led the Crows by 15 points at the final change before a late fade out saw them lose by 16. With an impressive midfield led by Charlie Rowbottom (29 disposals, 12 tackles against Adelaide) and exciting youngster Havana Harris (two goals), the Suns will be confident they can match the Demons for large periods of the game. Expect Melbourne to win, but the feisty Suns to keep the margin close enough to cover the huge +39.5 spread.
Gold Coast +39.5

Essendon vs North Melbourne
Friday 3:05pm AEST, Windy Hill
North Melbourne will be looking to continue their dominant season when they face Essendon at Windy Hill. The Kangaroos are a perfect 6-0 and are coming off a resounding 53-point victory over Carlton in the "SuperClash". Their midfield, led by the dynamic duo of Jasmine Garner and Ash Riddell, has been impenetrable and is the key to their success. The Kangaroos have been a machine all season and will be extremelty confident of extending their winning streak against the Bombers.
Essendon will certainly have their work cut out for them, having lost their last three matches and sitting 11th on the ladder with a 3-3 record. They are coming off a 48-point loss to Fremantle in Round 6, a game in which their offence struggled to make an impact. The last time these two teams met, in Round 8 of the previous season, North Melbourne completely controlled the contest, keeping Essendon to a season-low seven points. While the Bombers have since improved, North Melbourne's relentless pressure and elite ball movement should see them win comfortably and cover the hefty -49.5 spread.
North Melbourne –49.5

Carlton vs Fremantle
Friday 5:05pm AEST, IKON Park
Carlton will be looking to get their season back on track when they host Fremantle at Ikon Park.1 The Blues are coming off a tough 53-point defeat to North Melbourne, a game in which they were simply outclassed by the league's best side. Despite the loss, Carlton still holds a strong 4-2 record and remains firmly in the top six. The Blues will need to rely on their home-ground advantage and star players like Keeley Sherar and Mimi Hill to turn their fortunes around and prove they can bounce back from a loss.
Fremantle enters the clash in good spirits, having bounced back from a close loss to the Western Bulldogs with a 48-point thumping of Essendon in Round 6. The Dockers' defence was particularly impressive, restricting the Bombers to just one goal for the entire match. Fremantle's midfield, led by star Kiara Bowers and Mim Strom, has been a key factor in their success this season. Although they are a team still finding their feet, their form is trending in the right direction. Look for Fremantle's defensive pressure and hard-running to ensure a low-scoring, tight contest, allowing them to cover the +6.5 spread.
Fremantle +6.5

Western Bulldogs vs Collingwood
Friday 7:15pm AEST, Mission Whitten Oval
The Western Bulldogs will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss when they host Collingwood at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs' season has been highly disappointing, with a single win and five losses, leaving them languishing at the bottom of the ladder. Their last outing was a 25-point defeat to the Brisbane Lions, a game where they struggled to find scoring avenues. The Dogs will be desperate to lift their performance on their home deck against a side that has had a similarly tough season.
Collingwood will be looking to register their third win of the season and climb the ladder. The Magpies have a 2-4 record and are coming off a nine-point loss to a high-flying Hawthorn side, a game in which they showed glimpses of their potential. Prior to that the Magpies secured what was then the upset of the season when they took down the Swans. They’re clearly trending in the right direction and should make light work of the Bulldogs here.
