2023 AFL Grand Final First Goalscorer Tips

Best Bet - Joe Daniher (Brisbane Lions) - $9.75

Joe Daniher of the Brisbane Lions has been in good form of late, and while Carlton's fans did their best to get under his skin, he responded with an impressive showing in the Preliminary Finals.

Brisbane need a fast start if they are to down the Magpies in this one, and they will be looking to Daniher to find a way to open with the first goal.

Value Bet - Jordan De Goey (Collinwood Magpies) - $18.00

Jordan De Goey should be one of the main men for Collingwood this week as he looks to soften the blow of losing Dan McStay.

The small has also managed to notch the first goal for Collingwood five times over the last three campaigns and constitutes decent odds at $18.00.
