Just looking at past winners, showdown seems like the ANZAC day medal winner more a midfield medal winner type, in comparison to the Western Derby where a backman/forward has a better chance of winning it.


Anyway based on those odds, Fantasia @ 34, Georgiades @ 41 look a bit of value. None of the Port midfielders appeal for me at those prices.
If Fanta is winning it, he is kicking 4+ goals, IMO.

He wont win it for 3.

He is a small opportunist forward. Im not sure its been awarded for kicking 3 goals in a likely one sided contest and not doing much else. I think Wobbie Gray won it when he tore the Crows apart once kicking 4 in a quarter. But thats when the game was like 50:50.

Think I might be losing my mind but given he has been added to the Pies midfield rotations I'm taking Josh Thomas for disposals.

Thomas 15+ @ $ 1.91 sb
Thomas 20+ @ $ 5
Thomas 25+ @ $ 21
 
Has a player from the losing team eve won the medal before? I cant recall?

Not to mention those odds for Crows players are very poor.
One year Graham Johncock won it back in 2003.

Stat wise nothing really stood out 20 disposals and 1 goal.


41 Showdowns to which , 2 times it went to the losing side . 2003 when Johncock won and 2018 when Gray won it- were when sides on the losing side, a player won the medal. 2005 there was a tie.

And yes , I was surprised to see Gray has won the Medal 5 times.

So fair to say , the winner of the medal has to be from the winning side.

Anyway if Adelaide get up, O'Brien @ 41 not a bad play there considering as someone mentioned Jacobs has won in the past. Thilthorpe if he can snag a bag of 5+ in a winning side @ 67 , is probably a par bet for him to kick 5+ goals @ 51.
 
Yeah don't mind Jonas at 41s, if it's not too heavy orazio could relish the condish. But yeah as mentioned above it's Robbie's day
if the weather forecast are as predicted, wet, a small forward who can snag goals may be worth a play, which probably rules out the big men or forwards
 
2u - Clark over 23.5 disposals - $2.10 - TopSport
1.5u - Billings 25+ disposals - $2.80 - SB
Ross a late out, Lonnie (a forward) comes in. Trying to capitalise on that news. Think these two see extra mid/wing minutes as a result.

1u - Lukosius AGS - $2.85 - PointsBet
Named in the forward line today. Drafted as a forward but has spent most his early career developing his game in other areas on the ground. Worth a unit today.
 
Another one I like for today is Aaron Hall 120+ Fantasy at $4 on PB. He's scored 99, 123 and 143 in a new half-back role this season, excluding games where he was medical sub and out for concussion. Anyone who plays AFL Fantasy knows that the Pies absolutely leak disposals to opposition mids and half-backmen!
Good pick. Into $3 on PB for 120+ but still $2.70 for 110+ on lads, which I've bought my tickets for.

Glory be, an Aaron Hall train, in 2021.

And I'm loving every minute of it.
