Round 1 of the 2023 AFL season begins on Thursday with nine mouth-watering games scheduled.
In what’s been described as one of the most highly competitive rounds of football, both Josh Jenkins and Sam Edmund failed to find a lock of the week to tip.
While Jenkins and Edmund couldn’t split any of the matchups, premiership defender Campbell Brown believes West Coast are a sure thing to beat North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium on Saturday.
Even though the Eagles are currently $2.01 outsiders with the Kangaroos $1.83 favourites on Sportsbet, Brown believes there’s no way Adam Simpson’s side doesn’t win.
“I cannot believe that North Melbourne are jumping right now as we speak favourites against the West Coast Eagles,” Brown said on SEN.
“In no part of my brain can I see them knocking them over.
“This should be $1.60 (West Coast) to $2.20 (North Melbourne).
“Before I knew the odds, I didn’t look at the odds, I assumed the Eagles would be jumping as favourites.
“That’s the Clarkson effect … I can’t believe it.”
