Four games of footy this Saturday, with Geelong looking to bounce back against North Melbourne, while Carlton and St Kilda headline the night slot.
Essendon Bombers vs Brisbane Lions
Leg 1 - Brisbane Lions 40+
The Lions have an outstanding record at Marvel Stadium dating back to 2019.
They’ve covered the line in 12 of their last 14 at the venue, with the only misses coming in their two losses.
Essendon’s forward structure is weakened with Kako and May out, and they’re already leaking scores defensively. Hard to see them keeping this close.
West Coast Eagles vs Richmond Tigers
Leg 2 - Willem Duursma 20+ Disposals
This shapes as a breakout opportunity for Duursma.
He attended 73% of centre bounces last week and finished with 25 disposals.
The number one pick has hit 20+ in four of his last five games and should find plenty of ball against a depleted Richmond side.
Geelong Cats vs North Melbourne Kangaroos
Leg 3 - Finn O’Sullivan 20+ Disposals
O’Sullivan returned from injury last week and went straight back into the midfield.
He attended 76% of centre bounces and is averaging 23 disposals across his last three games.
Expect him to run with Bailey Smith and be around the contest all game.
Carlton Blues vs St Kilda Saints
Leg 4 - Jack Higgins 2+ Goals
Higgins is putting together a strong season with 16 goals so far.
He’s kicked 2+ in five of his last six games, including nine across the last two weeks.
He’s also kicked multiple goals in his last two games against Carlton.
