Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
Looking at Patrick Cripps' recent form, it's clear he's been a force to be reckoned with on the field. However, despite his undeniable talent, the stats suggest he might struggle to hit the Over 26.5 disposals mark in the upcoming clash against the Melbourne Demons at the MCG.
Over his last five home games, Cripps has averaged 27.2 disposals, slightly above the line. But digging deeper, his average against Melbourne specifically drops to 31 disposals. With the pressure of facing a formidable opponent and the potential for tighter defensive coverage, Cripps may find it challenging to maintain his usual disposal output.
Considering his recent dip in contested possessions and turnovers, along with Melbourne's historically effective midfield, the Under 26.5 disposals bet on Patrick Cripps seems like a smart play for this matchup.
