Fremantle has been getting the ball into their attacking zone more often than Brisbane lately, which could give Alex Pearce plenty of chances to rack up disposals. With Fremantle averaging almost seven more inside 50s per game at home, Pearce should see plenty of opportunities to get involved.
However, one thing to watch out for is that Fremantle has been losing contested ball situations, which could limit their possession at times. Still, given how often Pearce has the chance to contribute, taking the over on 8.5 disposals seems promising.
Fremantle Dockers vs Brisbane Lions: Cam Rayner Over 14.5 Disposals (-112)
Odds available at Sportsbet at time of publishing
Cam Rayner has been getting a lot of the ball lately, and he's been a key player for the Brisbane Lions in their matches. He often picks up more than 14.5 disposals, especially against teams like Fremantle, who let opponents get it inside 50 quite a bit. This means there are more chances for Rayner to get his hands on the ball and make plays.
One thing to keep in mind is that Fremantle does lose a few contested balls each game, which means Rayner could find himself with more opportunities to gather possessions. The risk here is that both teams are closely matched, so it might be a tight game. Still, taking the over on Rayner's disposals looks promising for this matchup.
Fremantle Dockers vs Brisbane Lions: Darcy Fort Over 8.5 Disposals (-114)
Odds available at Sportsbet at time of publishing
For Darcy Fort to get over 8.5 disposals tonight, he needs to get his hands on the ball a bunch. Fremantle tends to get the ball inside their attacking zone more often than Brisbane does, which could give Fort more chances to rack up those disposals. Plus, Fremantle has been losing contested ball situations, meaning there could be more opportunities for him to get involved.
However, the risk is that Brisbane's midfield has been pretty strong, winning contested possessions more consistently. If they can dominate in those tight spots, it might limit Fort's chances. Still, given Fremantle's home advantage and their style of play, it seems likely that Fort will hit that mark.
