St Kilda Saints v Port Adelaide Power
Connor Rozee 25+ Disposals $1.56
Zak Butters 25+ Disposals $1.78
Sam Powell-Pepper Anytime Goal Scorer $1.44
We're starting off with a couple of Port midfielders who will come up against the Saints in Round 7. The Carlton midfielders went absolute berserk against the Saints and it's been a trend against St Kilda for a few weeks. Ross Lyon's ladder leaders won't mind though, as they continue to win despite opposition disposal numbers presented against them. Rozee and Butters have finally become the men in this Port midfield and both are racking up disposals, they should be set for monster games here. Another first-round Port draft pick makes our list here as Powell-Pepper should kick at least one goal. Powell-Pepper has been kicking plenty of goals this year and seems to love a big stage - Friday night should offer the perfect opportunity.
Melbourne Demons v North Melbourne Kangaroos
Lachie Hunter 20+ Disposals $1.60
Jack Ziebell 25+ Disposals $2.25
Kysaiah Pickett To Score 2 or More Goals $1.52
In what could become a very one-sided affair, Melbourne could easily run all over North Melbourne here. The two teams are at complete opposite ends of the ladder and there could be plenty of easy ball for the Demons. Enter Lachie Hunter who will patrol one wing all day and will be sure to cash in on some easy marks and kicks late in the game. A big day for Melbourne could see a lot of kick outs for North so we'll load up on Jack Ziebell here. Ziebell has been the man for North kicking out this year and could see plenty of ball in his backline this week. Pickett could be the man to do the damage for the Dees - after an interesting start to the season, Pickett has slowed down recently. The one thing he has done this year however is shots on goal and if he tidies up his accuracy, he could have a big day.
Richmond Tigers v Gold Coast Suns
Tim Taranto 30+ Disposals $1.87
Brayden Fiorini 25+ Disposals $3.10
Noah Anderson 25+ Disposals $1.39
Taranto has been in outstanding form recently and there is no reason for this to slow down now. Against a wounded Gold Coast midfield, Taranto should easily hit his season averages if not exceed the 30 touches. Stepping up in the Suns midfield will be Brayden Fiorini. This is a bit of a gamble but Fiorini should replace the injured Touk Miller and has shown his ball winning ability in the past. Not a particularly damaging player, Fiorini has racked up in the reserves whenever finding himself out of the team. Should he get that midfield role, he could easily hit 25. Whether Fiorini gets it or not, Noah Anderson will need to step up. A somewhat slow start to the year has been heating up lately and the young star has still been averaging 25 disposals. He'll need to really turn it on to help replace Miller.
