Fremantle Dockers vs Hawthorn Hawks: Under 21.5 Team Total Points Q1 (-106)
Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
Fremantle Dockers and Hawthorn Hawks are set to face off, and both teams have been known for their slow starts this season. With the Dockers playing at home and having a solid defense, it's likely that scoring will be tough early on. Our numbers suggest that the combined total for the first quarter will be around 19.7 points, which makes betting on under 21.5 points a smart choice.
One thing to keep in mind is that the teams are pretty evenly matched, which means either could surprise us. Still, with both squads having a history of lower first-quarter scores, this bet gives a good chance for a quieter start at Optus Stadium.

While the game is expected to be close, our numbers suggest Fremantle should win by about 3.8 points. The most concrete risk here is that both teams are evenly matched, making it possible for Hawthorn to put up a strong fight. Still, with Fremantle's home field and rest days, they look good to cover the spread of -3.5.

The most concrete risk here is how closely matched these teams can be at times. Even though Fremantle is favored, Hawthorn could surprise them if they're having a good game. Still, with the advantage of extra rest and home support, backing Fremantle seems like a smart move.

Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
Nathan O'Driscoll has been racking up the disposals lately, and our numbers show he's likely to keep it going. He's been averaging way more than usual, with a strong chance to hit over 14.5 disposals in this game against the Hawthorn Hawks. He's also been getting more marks inside 50 and contesting one-on-ones effectively.
However, the match against the Hawks could be tough. They are a solid team and can put up a fight, which might make it harder for O'Driscoll to get those numbers. Still, with the way he's playing, this bet looks promising, but remember that nothing is guaranteed.
Fremantle Dockers vs Hawthorn Hawks: Josh Ward Over 21.5 Disposals (-114)
Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
Fremantle Dockers will struggle to contain Josh Ward, who has been impressive lately. He's been averaging quite a few disposals, and our numbers show he has a good chance of going over 21.5 in this game. The way he plays suggests he could rack up those numbers even against a tough opponent.
However, it's worth noting that Fremantle's defense can be tricky, and they might limit his opportunities. Still, if Ward gets into the game early and finds his rhythm, he could easily hit that mark. It's a solid pick, but just remember, the game can be unpredictable.
