Fremantle Dockers vs Hawthorn Hawks: Josh Ward Over 17.5 Disposals (-455)

Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing

Fremantle Dockers face a tough challenge against Hawthorn Hawks, and Josh Ward looks set to play a big role in the game. Our numbers suggest he's likely to rack up more than 17.5 disposals, as he has been consistently getting plenty of touches lately. His performance is rated as a strong favorite, which means there's a good chance he'll hit that mark. The biggest risk is that both teams have shown they can be close in their matchups, so it could go either way. Still, with Ward's recent form and the way he finds the ball, this bet feels solid. Keep an eye on how he plays, but I like the chances of him getting over 17.5 disposals here.
