AFL: Big guns in action on Super Sunday

Sunday has the potential to be a super one, with four of the top five sides all in action, including Sydney, who take on Geelong.

The Swans have suffered just one defeat so far this season and can be backed at 3.75 to win the grand final in 2024.

Geelong remain in third spot after snapping a four-game losing streak and could cut the gap on Sydney to four points with a surprise win.

In Sunday’s other game, second-placed Essendon take on fifth-placed Carlton in what has all the ingredients to be a cracker at the MCG.

Carlton are 6.00 to win the flag, while the Bombers are still seen as big outsiders at 15.00 to go all the way. A win over the Blues could prove a few doubters wrong.

There is a long way to go in the season, but these two games could be pivotal.

Swans refreshed and ready to go again

. Where: SCG, Sydney
. When: 15:20 (AEST), Sunday 9th June 2024
. How to watch: Kayo, Foxtel
. Odds: Sydney 1.33, Geelong 3.35

Sydney have won the last seven games on the bounce and will be raring to go once again following a second bye of the season.

They have seen off Western Bulldogs, Carlton, Fremantle and Greater Western Sydney in the last four games and will be confident of sending Geelong the same way.

Sydney can be backed at 5.50 to keep their winning streak rolling on by beating the Cats by 13-24 points.

Geelong stopped the rot with a 30-point win over Richmond last week and will be out to cause an upset at the SCG.

Tyson Stengle is averaging two goals a game this season and can be backed at 13.00 to kick the first goal of the game or 1.19 to score anytime.

Geelong are also priced at 6.50 to snatch the win by 1-12 points.

Bombers look to bounce back

. What: Essendon v Carlton
. Where: MCG, Melbourne
. When: 19:20 (AEST), Sunday 9th June 2024
. How to watch: Kayo, Foxtel
. Odds: Essendon 2.60, Carlton 1.50

Essendon saw their winning streak come to an end as they lost by 11 points on the Gold Coast last weekend.

They will be keen to get on another run and cement their place in the top-four by beating a resurgent Carlton side.

The Blues are in fifth spot on the ladder having won the last two games and could jump over Essendon if they can pick up the four points.

A 36-point win over Port at the Adelaide Oval last weekend was impressive, and Carlton can be backed at 6.00 to win by 25-36 on Sunday.

Charlie Curnow continues to fly and is averaging three goals a game this season. The gun forward is 7.00 to kick the first of the game.

Harry McKay booted three against the Power and is 9.50 to grab the first.
