Round 24 at Perth Stadium delivered a convincing result as Hawthorn stamped their authority on the contest, powering away to secure a 107–45 victory over the West Coast Eagles. Coming into the match, the market had heavily favoured the visitors, with Hawthorn shifting from 1.03 to 1.06 (drifted) in head-to-head betting while firming in the line market from 1.9 to 1.87 (firmed).
The Eagles entered this fixture looking to bounce back from a tough campaign and a recent loss against GWS Giants, but found themselves under immense pressure against a potent Hawthorn outfit. The Hawks put their scoring power on full display, building on a recent form line that featured strong attacking displays through the back half of the season.
How the tips went
Looking back at our published selections for this Perth Stadium showdown, it was a mixed afternoon across the markets. Our head-to-head selection on Hawthorn successfully landed following their dominant performance, justifying their heavy pre-match favouritism.
In the line market, selecting Hawthorn at the established handicap also proved correct as the visitors covered comfortably with a resounding 62-point winning margin. However, our total points selection on the Over missed the mark as the game fell short of carrying the scoring past the higher mark, wrapping up a busy Round 24 card.
