Kade Chandler (Melbourne) Over 9.5 Disposals (-769)

Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing

Chandler's away form makes this line look almost embarrassingly generous. He's averaging 16.6 disposals across his last five away games, splitting that evenly between 8.2 kicks and 8.4 handballs, and he's gone over 9.5 in all 20 of his last 20 away contests — a perfect hit rate that's hard to argue with. Against Port Adelaide specifically, he's averaged 16.3 disposals in away fixtures over the last five meetings, so the venue and opponent combination is well-covered. The model projects 15.5 disposals, sitting 6 clear of the line, and his overall L5 hit rate of 19/20 reinforces the consistency isn't a fluke. The only honest caveat here is the edge is razor-thin at 0.1% against -769 American odds, meaning the market has already priced this close to certainty at 88.5% implied. The data strongly supports the over — just size your stake accordingly at these short odds.

Jason Horne-Francis (Port Adelaide) Over 18.5 Disposals (-588)

Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing

Horne-Francis is a strong play here, even if the juice at $1.17 demands some respect. The model projects him for 24 disposals against a line of 18.5 — a 5.5-disposal buffer that's hard to ignore. At home in Adelaide, he's averaged 26 disposals across his last five home games, generating a massive 409.6 metres gained per game and 19 kicks, which tells you this isn't just handball inflation — he's winning the ball and moving it with purpose. Against Melbourne specifically, he's averaged 23 at home and 24.2 overall across the last five meetings, both well clear of the line. The overall hit rate of 6/7 in his last seven games reinforces the consistency. Yes, the implied probability sits at 85.5% and the edge is a modest 0.9%, so this isn't a value screamer — but the underlying form makes it a credible, numbers-backed play worth including.

Kade Chandler (Melbourne) Over 10.5 Disposals (-455)

Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing

Kade Chandler away from home is a completely different animal to his overall numbers, and the 10.5 disposal line here looks like it's been set on the wrong dataset. His L5 away games average sits at 16.6 disposals — a full five touches above the line — and he's hit this mark in all 20 of his last 20 away fixtures, currently riding a 22-game away hit streak. Against Port Adelaide specifically, he's averaging 16.3 away and 15.8 overall across his last five meetings. The model projects 15.5 disposals, generating a 2.2% edge against the implied 82.0% probability baked into the $1.22 price. His away contested possession load (6.4) and metres gained (312.2) confirm he's genuinely active, not just padding stats. The efficiency dips slightly on the road (68.7% vs 72.0% overall), but the volume more than compensates. At these odds, the edge is real and the sample is enormous.
