Aussie Rules Football Round 3 Best Bets, Picks and Predictions
Gold Coast Suns (-2.5 @ DraftKings) @ Melbourne Demons
Friday, 3/28/25 at 10:20 PM ET (7:20 PM Pacific)
The first game on our Aussie Football Round 3 picks is the Gold Coast Suns vs. the Melbourne Demons. Melbourne’s season has not started well after losing by three to the GWS Giants in Round 1 and then getting blown out by rival North Melbourne 125-66 in Round 2.
They’re dealing with injuries as well, which doesn’t help their chances. They’re missing their best defensive players in Jake Lever, due to an injured ankle, and Steven May, due to an injured Larynx. It has not been decided if either can play yet or not.
The Suns, on the other hand, have only played one game so far. That was a 136-49 drubbing of West Coast. Their newest captain, Noah Anderson, played very well, but wasn’t the only contributor in that game.
This will be a really interesting matchup. The Suns have received criticism for years now for not getting better production. On the other side, the Demons are getting criticism in the media now after such a bad start to the season. I don’t think they start their bounce back now.
Aussie Rules Football Round 3 picks for this match: Gold Coast Suns (-2.5)
Richmond Tigers @ St. Kilda Saints (-27.5 @ FanDuel)
Saturday, 3/29/25 at 1:15 AM ET (10:15 PM Pacific)
Next up on our list of Aussie Football Round 3 picks is Richmond Tigers vs. St. Kilda Saints. Richmond started the season off on the right foot, defeating Calrton 82-69. However, they were pushed back down to reality after losing to Port Adelaide 140-68.
St. Kilda has also had an up-and-down start to the season. They lost their opener to Adelaide 135-72 before defeating Geelong 98-91 last week. One of these teams will look to advance to 2-1 while the other will fall to 1-2 and be playing catch-up.
One thing that favors St. Kilda is their home-field advantage. They’ve won six of their last eight games at Marvel Stadium. While they lost Liam Stocker and Hunter Clark to injury, they should have Liam Henry and Cooper Sharman back. This is a big deal for the Saints and will help boost the team.
The Tigers also get a player back in Tom Lynch. My concern is that the Tigers are a young team, and it’s hard to bounce back on the road after getting beaten 140-68. Last year, the Saints won this game by 48 points, and a similar result wouldn’t surprise me.
Aussie Rules Football Round 3 picks for this match: St. Kilda Saints (-27.5)
Geelong Cats @ Brisbane Lions (-10.5 @ FanDuel)
Saturday, 3/29/25 at 4:35 AM ET (1:35 AM Pacific)
I’ve been encouraged by what I’ve seen from the Geelong Cats this year so far. They took down Fremantle 147-69 before losing to St. Kilda 98-91. However, they made quick adjustments and almost stormed back and won against St. Kilda.
The returning champions Brisbane Lions, are currently undefeated. However, their wins haven’t exactly been dominant as they beat Sydney 86-82 at home and West Coast 94-75. The match against West Coast was an extremely hot day and I’m slightly concerned how well rested they will be.
This is a reschedule of what should have been the opening game, but was delayed due to Cyclone Alfred. A lot of rain is expected, and this could end up being a tough grind-it-out type of game. That normally would favor the underdog. However, I think this Brisbane team is just too good. Geelong should be happy with their first two Rounds of play, but Brisbane is still the better team.

Fremantle Dockers (-26.5 @ FanDuel) @ West Coast Eagles
Sunday, 3/30/25 at 4:10 AM ET (1:10 AM Pacific)
The last pick on our Aussie Football Round 3 picks comes from the game where the Fremantle Dockers hit the road to the West Coast Eagles as 24.5-point favorites. The Eagles have started the season 0-2, losing to Gold Coast 136-49 and Brisbane 94-75.
Fremantle has also started 0-2 this year. They lost at home to Geelong 147-69 and then lost on the road in a close matchup to Sydney, 68-65. This game is hard to pick. On one hand, Fremantle is the better team. However, the Eagles just showed a great effort against Brisbane at home.
These two teams are sitting at the bottom of the AFL and both are looking to make a small climb up. This could be a great way for the Fremantle Dockers to get their season back on track. I think they win, but the young players of the West Coast Eagles look like they’ll continue to play hard at home. I can’t pick all favorites.
