Australian Football League Grand Final Bets
The Australian Football League (AFL) is comprised of 18 teams that play each other in the 2024 AFL premiership final. These 18 teams will be playing for the AFL Premiership Cup which is decided at the end of the AFL season which will take place on the 30th September 2024. In 1897 when the AFL was founded it consisted of 8 teams, all from Victoria. The AFL is currently represented by 6 Australian states and Tasmania.
Victoria has the majority of AFL teams, 10 teams and this includes 9 teams based in Melbourne. There are two teams from the other four states. Amazingly enough there are seven clubs that have been playing in the AFL since 1897 and they are Carlton Blues, Sydney Swans, Geelong Cats, Collingwood Magpies, St Kilda Saints, Essendon Bombers and Melbourne Demons. Of the former clubs the Fitzroy Lions and Brisbane Bears merged and are now the Brisbane Lions.

The AFL season has various games taking place around Australia. There are 23 weeks of regular and home and away games which feature the 18 AFL teams. The final 8 teams which are at the top of the log will then play each other in the AFL final which lasts about 4 weeks. Two clubs will be eliminated from the final within the first three weeks reducing AFL betting options. The last two teams will face each other during the AFL grand final which takes place in the fourth week. The winner of the final match is awarded with the AFL premiership title.
