Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
Looking ahead to Sunday's clash between Carlton and Melbourne, all eyes are on Sam Walsh. Despite his recent form, averaging an impressive 29.2 disposals over his last five home games, this matchup against the Demons presents a different challenge. In his last five encounters with Melbourne, Walsh has averaged 29.4 disposals, slightly above the bookmakers' line of 28.5. However, with the intensity of contested possessions likely to be high and turnovers potentially costly, Walsh might find it tough to reach his usual numbers. Additionally, Melbourne's defensive pressure could limit his time and space to rack up disposals. With an implied probability of 55.6%, the Under on Walsh's disposals seems like a solid play, backed by his historical performances against this opponent and the potential game dynamics.
