Harry Sheezel (North Melbourne) Over 21.5 Disposals (-714)

Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing

Harry Sheezel is one of the most reliable disposal machines in the competition right now, and the 21.5 line looks almost comically short of what he's producing. The model projects him for 29.8 disposals — a gap of 8.3 on the line — generating a 7.6% edge against implied odds that already sit at 87.7%. At home, Sheezel has averaged 33 disposals across his last five games, clearing the line in all six home appearances this season. Against Geelong specifically at Marvel, he's averaged 31.5 in the head-to-head matchup, and his overall 13-game hit rate of 13/13 over 21.5 speaks for itself. His L5 home efficiency of 82% on 14.2 kicks and 18.8 handballs shows he's not just accumulating — he's moving the ball cleanly and racking up uncontested possessions (21.8 avg). At $1.14 the margin is thin, but the underlying data makes this a genuine edge worth taking.

Jy Simpkin (North Melbourne) Over 15.5 Disposals (-588)

Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing

Simpkin is one of the easier overs to justify on the card this week. The model has him projecting 23.2 disposals against a line of just 15.5 — that's 7.7 touches of buffer, with an 8.5% edge baked in. At home over his last five games he's averaging 22 disposals, built on a clean blend of 11.8 kicks and 10.2 handballs with 72.6% efficiency, and he's cleared 15.5 in all three of those home appearances. Crucially, he's hit this line in five straight overall, and when Geelong have come to town his home disposal average lifts to 24.5 — his best split in the data. The 1.17 implies 85.5% probability, which our model comfortably supports given the consistency of his uncontested work (16 per game at home) and 347 metres gained. The line looks set for casual money; the underlying numbers suggest Simpkin genuinely earns it.

Bailey Smith (Geelong Cats) Over 22.5 Disposals (-714)

Bailey Smith is in the form of his life, and the 22.5 disposal line against North Melbourne looks well below his current ceiling. The model projects him for 30 disposals — a 7.5-touch buffer above the line — generating a 5.8% edge against the implied 87.7% probability baked into the $1.14 price. That's meaningful value on a market where the book is already pricing him heavily. The underlying numbers make the case hard to argue with. Smith is averaging 31.4 disposals in his last five away games, including 19.2 kicks and 644 metres gained, and has hit this line in 20 of his last 20 away outings — a perfect streak. Against North specifically, he's averaging 32.8 in away contests. With 11.2 contested possessions per game away, he's not just accumulating in easy ball — he's working for it. At $1.14 the margin is thin, but the consistency here is genuinely elite.
