After finishing on top of their conference last season, North Melbourne are the $3.75 favourites at TAB to win the 2021 AFLW premiership before the season commences on Thursday night.
The Kangaroos won five of their six games last year and finished one victory clear of GWS in Conference A before COVID-19 resulted in the cancellation of the finals.
Fremantle finished on top of Conference B last season with six wins from six matches and are $4 chances to claim the 2021 AFLW title.
Carlton – beaten grand finalists in 2019 and second in Conference B last year – are $6 to win this season’s flag while Melbourne ($7) are the other team in single figures.
Two-time premiers Adelaide are $11 to add the 2021 AFLW premiership to their trophy cabinet while the Brisbane Lions – beaten grand finalists in 2017 and 2018 – are also $11 hopes.
The Blues are $1.50 favourites at TAB to account for Collingwood ($2.60) in the opening game of the 2021 AFLW season on Thursday night at Ikon Park.
