Round 23 (2022)

RESULTS

DISPOSALS

Josh Dunkley (o28.5)

It's nothing new that the Hawks give up big numbers to mids but they've really been cranking up the flakiness around the ball lately. In the last few weeks the Dogs have played two teams in GWS and FREO who have adopted a keepings off game style which has led to some lower numbers for Dogs mids. The Hawks don't play like that and don't have the capacity to (even though they invented it!). Dunks have seen a lift in mid minutes maybe to keep him happy or shop him around but his possession numbers have also lifted. He's got a high ceiling and is unlikely to be tagged.

Result: 29 disposals (WIN)

Clayton Oliver (u32.5)

Mathieson took out Jack Steele on the weekend and Oliver is a great matchup. The Lions have limited inside mids significantly in the last 5 weeks, ranking #1. Apart from his routine obliteration of the Pies, Oliver has also struggled lately.

Bookmaker: Topsport $2.05

Units: 1

Result: 30 disposals (WIN)

Zac Merrett (o30.5)

Zac has had 2 tags in the last 2 games. There's no risk of that against the Tigers who don't invest in that area. Prior to that he was going bazerko and he'll want to respond. Has cleared that line for the last 4 years against the yellow and black.

Andrew Brayshaw (u26.5)

Perryman has gone into the middle in the last few weeks and done jobs on Merrett (17) and Libba (20). Brayshaw is a clear target and the Giants will make your eyes bleed in this one again trying to play Netball with their feet. However we have gone with the overs on the small total.

Jack Sinclair (u26.5)

Anyone heard of or seen Ryan Clarke? Me neither but I hear he quietly hides behind pigs in the back paddock.

Patrick Cripps (o29.5)

Cripps still has a great average without Hewett. The Blues will be hugely motivated to win and not that he needs it but there's a personal motivation for Cripps to mop up here as it might put him in the race for the Brownlow. The Pies are a great matchup for him as he can bully them out of clearance and no tag threat. Might also look at Walsh.

GOALKICKERS

Robbie Gray

Sweet Wobbie Gway. What a pleasure it's been watching his balance, poise and unusual long simian arms just vacuum up the pill like an Amazonian groundnut. He'll be parking his crispy-cruskit legs in the goal square and they be trying to feed him the ball all day against the old enemy. Think JPK last week. For the adventurous Sharps out there, take a look at last goal scorer markets out there.
