Jack Gunston (Hawthorn) Over 1.5 Goals (-588)
Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
Gunston's away form makes this line look generous. He's averaging 4.0 goals per game in his last five away fixtures, with 6.2 shots at goal and an impressive 4.4 marks inside 50 — the kind of forward craft that consistently generates multiple scoring opportunities. The model projects him for 3 goals here, sitting 1.5 above the line and generating an 11.8% edge against the implied probability of 85.5%. That's a meaningful gap worth acting on. The hit rate backs the projection up hard. Gunston has cleared 1.5 goals in 9 of his last 10 away games, and he's averaging 2.2 goals in his last five away clashes specifically against Carlton. His 60.2% goal accuracy in away games — well above his overall 47.5% — suggests he's converting cleanly when on the road. At $1.17 the margin is thin, but the underlying data genuinely supports the edge.
Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
Noah Anderson is one of the most reliable ball-winners in the competition, and the 22.5 disposal line looks well short of where he's operating. The model projects him for 31.4 touches — a 8.9-disposal gap over the line — generating a 9.4% edge against the implied 87.0% probability baked into the $1.15 price. That projection is well supported by his recent away form: across his last five road games Anderson is averaging 28.8 disposals, combining 17.6 kicks with 11.2 handballs and covering nearly 589 metres gained per game. Against Adelaide specifically he's averaged 25.0 away and 27.2 overall across his last five meetings — both comfortably over this line. The away hit rate is a standout, going 4-from-4 in his last four road games and 9-from-10 across his last ten overall. At short odds the edge is modest but the consistency here is genuine, making this a sound inclusion.
Brodie Kemp (Carlton) Over 0.5 Goals (-370)
Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
Brodie Kemp is in the kind of home form that makes a 0.5 goals line look genuinely thin. At the MCG over his last five home games, he's averaging 1.6 goals on 3 shots at goal per game, converting at a 50.8% clip with 2 marks inside 50 — the profile of a forward consistently finding the right positions and finishing. He's hit this line in four straight home games and six of his last seven overall, so the underlying consistency is real, not a hot streak built on one big bag. The model projects 1.9 goals here, generating a 17% edge over the implied 78.7% probability baked into the $1.27. The Hawthorn head-to-head numbers are a mild concern — just 0.3 goals overall in the L5 matchups — but the home-ground advantage and Kemp's current output make the model's confidence well-founded. Solid value at the price.

Humphries is one of the easier fades to the under in the comp right now — except we're backing him over a line so low it barely registers as a challenge. At 14.5 disposals, the bookmaker is essentially asking whether he'll have a quiet outing, and the data says that's extremely unlikely. His L5 away average sits at 21.2 disposals, built on 16.2 kicks and a tidy 79% disposal efficiency, while the model projects 22.3 — a 7.8-disposal buffer above the line. The model edge of 8.7% is meaningful even at short odds of $1.17, and his hit rate backs it up emphatically: six from six away games and seven from seven overall clearing this line. The one flag is his head-to-head average against GWS of just 13, but the line already accounts for that conservatively. At this price, the edge is real and the volume of evidence is hard to ignore.
Jed Walter (Gold Coast SUNS) Over 0.5 Goals (-714)
Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
Jed Walter is in the kind of form that makes a 0.5-goal line look almost academic. He's kicked at least one goal in seven straight games and has gone 3-from-3 in his last three away trips, averaging 1.6 goals per game in both his overall and away L5 splits. The model projects 1.7 goals here — well clear of the line — generating a 5.3% edge against the implied 87.7% probability baked into the $1.14 price. What reinforces the case is the underlying shot creation. Walter is averaging 3 shots at goal per away game across his last five, with 1.6 marks inside 50 and 3.6 score involvements — he's consistently getting into position and converting at 43% away from home. Even at that below-average accuracy, three attempts per game makes him a genuine threat to clear this line. The edge is real, even if the odds are short.
Cooper Sharman (St Kilda) Over 0.5 Goals (-526)
Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
Cooper Sharman is in the form of his life and the numbers make a compelling case to back him kicking at least one goal at Marvel Stadium. He's averaging 1.8 goals per game at home over his last five, generating 3.6 shots at goal and marking inside 50 an impressive 3.2 times — the volume of forward entries is there, and he's converting at 46.4%. That underlying process is what matters here. The model projects 1.7 goals against a line of just 0.5, generating an 8.8% edge over the implied probability of 84.0% baked into the $1.19 price. He's hit this line in four straight games overall and is on a two-game home streak. The Port Adelaide matchup is the one soft spot — he's averaging just one goal against them — but with his current shot volume and scoring involvement of seven per home game, one goal feels well within reach.
Andrew Brayshaw (Fremantle) Over 19.5 Disposals (-769)
Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
Andrew Brayshaw is one of the most bankable disposal machines in the competition right now, and the 19.5 line looks almost generous given what he's been doing at Optus Stadium. His L5 home average sits at 27.8 disposals — 8.3 clear of the line — and the model projects 26.7, carrying a 4.3% edge against implied odds of 88.5%. That edge matters at short juice. The consistency is what really sells it. Brayshaw has cleared 19.5 in 10 straight games overall and gone 5-from-5 at home in his last five, averaging a combined 27.8 kicks and handballs with 81.6% disposal efficiency and 373.6 metres gained per home game. Even against Sydney specifically, he's averaging 22.5 at home. He's operating through uncontested possession (20.2 avg) and generating clean ball at volume. At Optus, in front of his home crowd, this line is a meaningful edge worth backing.
