When it comes to backing a player to snag a goal in the AFL, you want someone with consistency and hunger in front of the big sticks. Enter Jake Melksham of the Melbourne Demons, who's been lighting it up lately. Melksham has been on fire at home, averaging 2 goals in his last 5 games, with a solid goal accuracy of 70%. His ability to impact the scoreboard is undeniable, with an average of 5 score involvements per game. Facing the Gold Coast Suns, against whom he's tallied 1 goal on average in their last 5 encounters, Melksham is poised to capitalize on his recent form and continue his scoring streak. With his sharpshooting skills and consistent goal-scoring record, backing Melksham to go over 0.5 goals is a smart bet for this matchup at the MCG.
