Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
When it comes to Max Gawn hitting the Under 22.5 disposals mark against Essendon, the numbers paint a clear picture. Despite his solid season averages, his recent away games reveal a trend. With an average of 22.6 disposals away but facing Essendon, where he's averaged just 16 disposals, the odds are in our favor. His contested possessions and turnovers suggest he may face a tougher time against Essendon's defense. While Gawn's overall stats are strong, his recent form against this opponent and in away games indicate he might fall short of the 22.5 mark this time. With a model prediction of 19.3 and a 19.3% edge, the smart play is to back Gawn to go under in this matchup at Adelaide Oval.
