Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
When it comes to Thursday night footy at the MCG, Josh Daicos of the Collingwood Magpies is shaping up for a showdown against the Carlton Blues. Recent form suggests Daicos has been a solid contributor, but the numbers hint at a potential underplay on his disposals line of 26.5. Over his last five away games, he's been hovering around 24.8 disposals, just shy of that line. With an average of 16.4 kicks and 8.4 handballs in those games, he might struggle to hit the mark against a competitive Carlton side. Daicos' current hit streak is lukewarm at best, and his overall disposals average of 29 is slightly skewed by standout performances. Considering the trends and matchup dynamics, the under on Daicos feels like a savvy play for punters looking to snag a win on this intriguing AFL clash.
