Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
For the Geelong Cats to cover the spread of -2.5 in the second quarter, they need to outscore the Carlton Blues during that time. The Cats have been strong in the second quarter lately, averaging 34 points there, which is noticeably more than their first-quarter average. They usually perform well at home, winning by around 30 points per game, showing they know how to take advantage of the crowd support.
Carlton has been solid too, winning 8 of their last 10 games. However, they've allowed an average of nearly 79 points per game over their last 12 matches, which might give Geelong the chance they need. The close nature of this matchup makes it tricky, but Geelong's strong home record and second-quarter performance could help them get the score they need.

For Geelong Cats to cover the spread of minus 2.5, they need to outscore Carlton in the fourth quarter. Looking at how both teams have performed recently, Geelong has been scoring an average of 101.5 points per match, while Carlton scores 93.2. The Cats also have a strong ability to get the ball inside 50 more often than Carlton, which should help them create scoring chances.
However, the risk here is that Geelong has been even on contested balls, which means they might struggle to win those crucial battles.

For Geelong Cats to cover the spread of minus 2.5 in the third quarter, they need to maintain their scoring momentum. They have been strong at home, scoring an average of 101.5 points in their last 12 games while allowing 84.3 points. This shows they can put points on the board, especially against a Carlton team that has conceded 78.8 points in their last 12 matches.
While Carlton has been winning lately, their contested ball numbers suggest Geelong can hold their own in tough situations. The Cats have been getting it inside 50 more times than Carlton, which can lead to scoring opportunities. The main risk is that both teams are quite close in terms of contested possessions, so it could be a tight contest. But with Geelong's home advantage and recent scoring, they have a solid chance to cover the spread in the third quarter.
Geelong Cats vs Carlton Blues: Adam Cerra Under 21.5 Disposals (-114)
Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
Adam Cerra has been racking up disposals lately, but the stats suggest he might not hit the mark in this game. Geelong Cats allow teams to score a good amount and have been strong defensively, giving up only 84.3 points a match lately. Plus, they create plenty of chances themselves, getting it inside 50 more than Carlton does.
While Cerra has shown great form, the matchup looks tricky. Carlton wins the contested ball, but Geelong is known for holding opponents back. With Cerra's numbers and the pressure he'll face, betting on him to get under 21.5 disposals feels like a solid choice. Just remember, nothing is guaranteed!
Geelong Cats vs Carlton Blues: Connor O'Sullivan Over 13.5 Disposals (-115)
Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
Connor O'Sullivan has been playing well lately, and he's been getting plenty of the ball. He's been getting over 13.5 disposals in recent games, and our numbers say he has a good chance to do it again. The Geelong Cats have been letting opponents score points, which means O'Sullivan could see a lot of action.
The only real worry is that the Geelong Cats have been a bit mixed with their contested possessions. They break even, so it could be a tough battle for the ball. Still, with O'Sullivan's recent form and the way he's been involved, this bet looks promising.
Geelong Cats vs Carlton Blues: Jacob Weitering Under 14.5 Disposals (-118)
Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
Jacob Weitering has been solid lately, but he faces a tough matchup against Geelong Cats. They have a knack for limiting their opponents' ball use, especially at home. In their last 10 games, Geelong has been really good at keeping scores low, conceding only around 84 points a match.
Betting on Jacob Weitering to have under 14.5 disposals seems smart here. Carlton has been winning contested balls, but Weitering might struggle to get enough touches against a Cats side that gets it inside 50 much more often. The most concrete risk is that he could surprise us and find a way to get more ball than expected.
