Melbourne Demons vs Carlton Blues: Trent Rivers Over 9.5 Kicks (-270)
Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
Trent Rivers has been a solid player for Melbourne, and he's been getting plenty of kicks lately. He consistently racks up over 9.5 kicks in games, especially when you look at how well Melbourne has been playing, winning 7 of their last 10 matches. They often dominate the contested ball, which means Rivers will have more chances to get his kicks in.
Carlton is also on a roll, winning 8 of their last 10, but they concede a decent number of points. The close nature of this matchup means both teams will be fighting hard for every possession, and that could lead to more opportunities for Rivers. The main risk is that Carlton has been strong defensively, but Rivers' form gives him a good chance to hit that over.
