Mate, when it comes to backing a player prop bet, you want a bloke who's in the thick of the action, and that's exactly what Tom Sparrow brings to the table. The lad's been on a tear lately, averaging 21.4 disposals in his last five home games, with a solid contested possessions average of 7.8. Sparrow's been sharp with his kicks too, averaging 12.2 per game, and his disposal efficiency sits at a respectable 70.2%. Facing Essendon, who he's been snagging an average of 10.3 disposals against in their last five encounters, Sparrow looks primed to shine at the mighty MCG. With his recent form and ability to rack up the possessions, taking the Over on Sparrow's 19.5 disposals line seems like a fair dinkum bet for this matchup.
