North Melbourne VS West Coast Same Game Multi (1 Unit – $4.75)
- West Coast Eagles To Win (5 Units – $1.97)
While this team is definitely not chasing flags, the Eagles haven’t outwardly launched a rebuild as the drop-off last year was so stark. Eagles boast better key position players at both ends of the field, including the backline where the likes of Hurn, Barrass and McGovern should make it hard North to score heavily.
- Harry Sheezel Anytime Goal Scorer (5 Units – $1.33)
Sheezel was a livewire throughout the preseason and he will be raring to perform well on debut in the real deal.
- Jack Ziebell 20+ Disposals (5 Units – $1.69)
Ziebell has been touted to play down back this season, the position in which he averaged 25 disposals per game in 2021. With Aaron Hall out of the side, there should be plenty of ball to go around.
Port Adelaide VS Brisbane Lions Same Game Multi (1 Unit – $5.75)
- Brisbane To Win (5 Units – $1.80)
The Lions now look a very scary proposition on paper and like many, I have them finishing in the top 2-3 this season. They’re littered with stars all over the ground and look primed for a massive premiership tilt.
- Jack Gunston 2+ Goals (5 Units – $1.99)
Sheezel was a livewire throughout the preseason and he will be raring to perform well on debut in the real deal.
- Jason Horne-Francis 20+ Disposals (5 Units – $2.02)
The much-maligned second-year star is set to play a big role in the midfield for the Power this season. He should be able to gobble up 20 disposals first up.
Melbourne VS Western Bulldogs Same Game Multi (1 Unit – $4.33)
- Jamarra Ugle-Hagan 2+ Goals (5 Units – $2.60)
While Melbourne are blessed for key defenders, Ugle-Hagan will draw the third-string stopper after Naughton and Lobb. If the Bulldogs can breakeven in the middle, expect JUG to get on the end of a couple.
- Tom Sparrow 15+ Disposals (5 Units – $1.67)
till hidden in the shadow cast by Oliver and Petracca in Melbourne’s midfield, Sparrow has been quietly improving, averaging 16 disposals last year. The young bull should see a CBA boost this week in Viney’s absence.
- Bailey Dale 20+ Disposals (5 Units – $1.11)
Dale was a picture of consistency in 2022, dropping below 20 disposals just twice. He will be the distributor from the backline for the Dogs again this year, so I’m expecting similar numbers.
Gold Coast VS Sydney Same Game Multi (1 Unit – $5.75)
- Mabiuor Chol 2+ Goals (5 Units – $1.95)
Chol’s first season at the Gold Coast was an incredibly productive one, as he was able to string continuous games together for the first time in his career. Chol was the Suns leading goal kicker with 44 goals, and kicked multiple goals in twelve of his 22 games.
- Chad Warner 25+ Disposals (5 Units – $2.07)
Chad Warner had a breakout season in 2022, averaging 22 disposals per game, including a 29 disposal performance in the Grand Final. Warner reached the 25 disposal mark in six of his last eleven games in 2022, and has increased his disposal average by at least six disposals per game in each year he has been in the system.
- Noah Anderson 25+ Disposals (5 Units – $1.59)
Anderson announced himself as one of the best midfielders in the game last season, averaging 26 disposals per game. Anderson hit the 25 disposal mark on fifteen occasions in 2022, including seven of his last eight games of the season. With plenty of attention still surrounding Touk Miller, it opens up plenty of opportunities for Anderson to win the footy.
