Oliver Wiltshire (Geelong Cats) Over 0.5 Goals (-125)

Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing

Wiltshire has been a reliable scorer away from home, and the numbers make a compelling case to back him to kick at least one goal against a leaky North Melbourne side. His L5 away average of 1.4 goals per game is well clear of this 0.5 line, and he's converting at an impressive 72% accuracy in those road games — nearly 20 points better than his overall rate — suggesting he's finding quality shots rather than rushed snaps. The model projects 1.1 goals, generating a 19.6% edge over the implied 55.6% probability baked into the $1.80 price. What really seals it is the streak: Wiltshire has cleared this line in four straight away games, going 4/4 in that split. With 2.0 shots at goal per away game and 4.6 score involvements, he's consistently in the right spots. The edge is real and the form backs it up.

Beau McCreery (Collingwood) Over 0.5 Goals (+115)

McCreery at $2.15 represents a genuine edge here, with the model projecting 0.8 goals against a line of 0.5 — a 19.2% edge over the implied 46.5% probability the bookmaker is offering. The overall L5 numbers underpin the case nicely: he's averaging 1.0 goals, 1.6 shots at goal, and 4.6 score involvements across his last five, converting at 43.3%. That's a player generating enough forward entries to clear the one-goal bar with reasonable regularity, and his overall hit rate of 3/4 in the last four games reflects that consistency. The away-specific numbers are softer — just 0.4 goals and 0.6 shots at goal in L5 away games — but his record against Hawthorn away sits at 0.7 goals per game, which is the most relevant split here. At the MCG, where Collingwood are comfortable, McCreery getting at least one through the big sticks looks like a well-priced edge.

Joe Berry (Port Adelaide) Over 0.5 Goals (+115)

Joe Berry's home form is the key reason to back him kicking at least one goal here. In his last five home games, Berry has averaged 0.8 goals and 1.6 shots at goal, converting at 36.7% accuracy — a markedly stronger profile than his overall L5 figures suggest. That home-ground split matters, and at Adelaide Oval against Melbourne he gets every advantage. The model projects 0.8 goals against a line of 0.5, generating a 17.8% edge over the implied probability of 46.5% at $2.15 — that's a meaningful gap worth acting on. His home hit rate of 4/7 over the last seven matches reinforces the trend, and with 3 inside-50 entries and 0.8 marks inside 50 per home game, he's consistently getting into scoring positions. The accuracy numbers at home are solid enough that one conversion from roughly 1.6 attempts is a realistic expectation, not a stretch.
