Australian punters are gripped by footy finals fever but the country is divided on which team will win the AFL Grand Final.

According to data from Sportingbet Australia, 45.43% of the money wagered by Victorians on the AFL Premiership is for Hawthorn, 23.29% is for Geelong and 21.05% is for Sydney.

Fremantle has only attracted 8.09% of the cash from Victoria, despite the Dockers being $3.75 second favourites to win the flag. It’s a different story in Western Australia of course, where 30.31% of the money wagered on the AFL Premiership is for Fremantle.

New South Wales punters have thrown their weight behind the Swans, with 42.60% of money wagered for Sydney to win back to back grand finals.

South Australian punters haven’t got behind $51 flag outsiders Port Adelaide, with only 9.92% of their bets on a Port grand final win.

The Northern Territory has overwhelmingly supported Hawthorn, with 74.80% of all bets placed for a Hawks victory.

“The figures show that except in the case of Port Adelaide, punters clearly enjoy getting behind their own team to win the grand final,” Sportingbet Australia (http://www.sportingbet.com.au/partners.asp?btag=a_806b_464) spokesman Andrew Brown said.
