Jayden Short (Richmond) Over 22.5 Disposals (-156)

Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing

When it comes to backing a player for over 22.5 disposals, Jayden Short of the Richmond Tigers is a standout choice for the clash against the Carlton Blues at the MCG. Short has been a consistent force in recent home games, averaging a solid 25.6 disposals per game. With his knack for finding the footy, combined with a high disposal efficiency of 75.5%, he's a reliable ball distributor. His ability to cover the ground is evident in his 541.2 meters gained on average in his last 5 home games. Against Carlton, he's maintained a strong average of 20 disposals. Given his recent form and matchup history, Short is poised to surpass the 22.5 threshold comfortably. Betting on Short to hit the over is a smart move with a high probability of success.
