With the finals less than a week away, we’ve decided update the latest 2008 AFL Finals and Grand Final Odds.
Having started the year as overwhelming favourites, Geelong remain the team to beat after 22 rounds with the shortest premiership price we’ve seen for years and a huge odds on favourite in their first final against the Saints.
The two Saturday games are more closely matched with odds makers giving the home sides a slight edge. Hawthorn is $1.35 the favourite to progress to the preliminary final when they meet the Western Bulldogs on Friday.
The below finals head to head week one odds are taken from PinnacleSports.com. These guys usually offer the best AFL odds around and have all season long. They’re a must have bookmaker for any serious Aussie rules bettors and definitely offer far bettor odds than your local TAB.
Week One 2008 Finals Odds
1.35 Hawthorn vs 3.50 Western Bulldogs
1.76 Sydney vs 2.18 North Melbourne
1.64 Adelaide vs 2.40 Collingwood

Geelong is the stand-out team this season however if you‘re looking for a solid return on you‘re investment stay clear. At $1.40 you’re simply throwing money out the window. For value bettors look no further than second favourite Hawthorn and small investment on Collingwood as the long shot. The best team does not necessarily win the championship. The 2007/2008 New England Patriots can attest to that.
We’ll update this page should we see any major odds changes. In the mean time if you’re looking to bet on the 2008 AFL Grand Final we recommended sign up with one of the two bookmakers listed to enjoy the full AFL experience.
Best Bet: Hawthorn To Win Premiership
Outsider: Collingwood to Make Grand Final
Week 1 Finals Bet: Collingwood over Adelaide
