Murphy Reid (Fremantle) Over 21.5 Disposals (-189)
Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
Murphy Reid is a strong play here at Optus Stadium, where he's genuinely been a different player. His L5 home average of 25.6 disposals clears this 21.5 line by more than four touches, built on a tidy blend of 14.4 kicks and 11.2 handballs per game with 77.4% disposal efficiency — he's not just accumulating, he's using it. The model projects 24.2 disposals, generating a 5.0% edge against the implied probability of 65.4%, and that home split is the key driver: his overall L5 average of 23.6 already beats the line, but at home specifically he's hit 6 of his last 8 — a 75% hit rate — and covered 21.5 at a 12/15 clip across the last 15 overall. The Sydney matchup historically looks soft at 14.5 disposals average, though that figure likely reflects different roles or conditions. Back the home ground advantage here.
