Saturday AFL Tips – Pies vs Blues Grind Headlines $5.10 Multi

 

Our best bet across Saturday's AFL action is the Magpies vs Blues Under 167.5 Points / Byrne-Jones 20+ Disposals / Jefferson 1+ Goals / McKenna 1+ Goals Multi at $5.10, spanning four games including the huge Saturday night wildcard clash between Collingwood and Carlton at the MCG.

Can the Kangaroos cause an upset at Marvel Stadium against the Demons? We also have a huge Saturday night of football when Collingwood and Carlton meet with potential wildcard repercussions on the line.

Port Adelaide Power vs Fremantle Dockers

Leg 1 - Darcy Byrne-Jones 20+ Disposals

Started the season as a small forward, a position he has played the last few years, but Josh Carr had seen enough and moved Byrne-Jones down back in Round 4.

Averaging 19.7 disposals per game, but if you remove those three games as a forward, Byrne-Jones is averaging 21.5 disposals and has hit 20+ in nine of those 14 games, including five of the last six.

With Port Adelaide's midfield decimated without Butters and Horne-Francis, I think we'll see the Power looking to control ball from back-half with their designated kickers such as Byrne-Jones and Farrell.

North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Melbourne Demons

Leg 2 - Matthew Jefferson 1+ Goals

Just 11 goals from ten games this season for Melbourne key forward Matthew Jefferson, but he does have a knack of kicking a goal.

Jefferson has kicked a goal in eight of his last nine games this season, including his last four. In the one game he didn't kick a goal, he kicked two behinds.

No doubt there will be plenty of attention around the in-form Jacob Van Rooyen, so Jefferson will get his chances.

Collingwood Magpies vs Carlton Blues

Leg 3 - Under 167.5 Total Points

Collingwood and Carlton feature in the lowest scoring games of the season, ranked 16th and 17th in the competition for total points.

The Magpies' scoring has picked up lately, but since Josh Fraser became the interim coach of Carlton, the Blues play in real grinds, ranked 16th for total points averaging just 158.3 per game under Fraser, with just one of those eight games going over the total points.

In Carlton's last 16 night games at the MCG, only two have gone over the total points. Don't expect a shootout in this.

West Coast Eagles vs Brisbane Lions

Leg 4 - Conor McKenna 1+ Goals

Such a good addition to this Brisbane Lions forward group, and Conor McKenna has delivered for them this season.

McKenna has kicked 16 goals from 11 games this season, and has kicked at least one goal in nine of those games.

His recent form has been really strong though. McKenna has kicked two goals in each of his last four games, and he's good for at least one in this against an Eagles outfit where the Lions should be getting plenty of opportunities up forward.
