Best Bet

Carlton -6.5
Line

$1.90

It is simply impossible to back the Suns right now.

Gold Coast have lost each of their last eight games and failed to cover the line in any of their last seven on the road. They have all but given up on 2026.

Josh Fraser’s Blues have hit the wall over the last two weeks but that coincided with back-to-back difficult games against Hawthorn and Collingwood. Prior form was solid, winning five straight against teams outside the top ten. The Blues have also had the edge in this match-up lately, winning and covering in three of their last four.

Carlton regain Mark Pittonet, a significant upgrade over Liam Reidy in the ruck, but lose Harry McKay. Have to stick with the home side.


Same Game Multi

Carlton -6.5, Under 171.5 Points, P.Cripps Anytime Goal, N.Newman 20+ Disposals
Bet Now
$4.20

The under continues to deliver in Carlton games, hitting in eight of their last nine.

Gold Coast have been the worst team at conceding goals to inside midfielders over the last five weeks, so back Patrick Cripps to hit the scoreboard.

Nic Newman has had 20 or more disposals in nine straight home games.


Value Bet

G.Hewett 2+ Goals
Player Goals
Bet Now
$8.00

Not one to steam into but Gold Coast have been the best match-up for inside midfielders to hit the scoreboard lately, and George Hewett, not a noted goalkicker, has kicked a few recently with two in two of his last four games. Worth a throw at $8.00.
