I also love Toby Greene’s odds this week. Much better then the normal Toby odds and he should be fired up for the battle of the bridge.
Toby Greene 2+@$$2.10 B365
3+@$4 B365
4+@$11 B365
5+@$30 B365 and $26 SB for more
6+@$101 SB

Did some research on Toby

His odds look way over to me.

Incredibly, he has kicked at least one goal in every match bar one since 2021*. 38/39 strike rate for AGS. Guessing that would be the best strike rate in the league.

Extrapolated from that, fair odds would be $1.03. SB is offering $1.16. That looks like easy money to me (famous last words).

In theory, the odds are more generous the further you go up (scroll across on mobile)

GWSGreene5+$262021-20233938%4%$13.00$26200%

Now you could argue that GWS are underdogs this week, so he will kick fewer goals. But Toby performs pretty well in losses too. Looking at his performance in losses since 2021, fair odds for
2/3/4/5 would be $1.44, $2.88, $3.83, $11.5, $23.

Note: implied odds are less reliable the higher the goal hurdle, as we're dealing with tiny sample sizes. All actual odds listed here are SB. Can probably get better on other platforms.

*I sort of cherry 2021 picked that as a starting point, but also before that covid-affected season and then the couple of seasons before that he spent more time in the midfield.

Potentially they are a bit longer than usual because he played a fair bit of midfield from all reports in Tom Green's abscence (33% of CBAs compared to previous high of 12% - discounting R2 where Kelly missed and he once again played a bit more through there).

Has been pinch hitting through the midfield all year a bit under Kingsley's watch, but very minimally really.

With Green coming back, I guess you can expect Greene to be back playing closer to the role he traditionally has.

Taking a stab at Baker on chance he plays forward, was thrown forward in last quarter last week, Broad comes back into backline this week and Rioli out up forward

100%. Great stuff. I couldn’t believe the odds when I saw them. Good too see that this data backs up what I intuitively thought in that the odds for the higher goal stations was even better then the very good odds for 2+. Has kicked a bag of 7 in that 39 games as well so I would think that the odds of $101 for 6 on SB is way overs as well. Seems to be a motivation based player as well, for instance that bag of 7 was against the Dogs who we know the Giants have a rivalry with. You’d think Toby gets up and about for his first Battle of the Bridge as Captain.

Yeah the increased midfield minutes last week is probably the reason for the price increase. I’m pretty certain that your correct in that he’ll be playing his traditional forward role this week with Green back in the side. Callan Ward is also out which helps Tobys role because Ward has been playing a half forward type role where he’s been averaging around 2 shots per game.

According to Damien Barret: No Rampe(bulging disc) or Mccartins for the Swans this week.

This in addition to Fox being out with concussion, who has been doing his best in their absence.

I’ve looked into the weather a bit and it looks like it should be alright until a bit later in the day but you can never really know with the BOM.

Good idea to load up on the Giants forwards mentioned in this thread. I think the books have given us a gift here.

Going to be absolutely pissing with rain most likely: Moore Park Rainfall Forecast, NSW 2021 - WillyWeather

Hogan did have his best game of the year last year in the wet though (22 disposals/ 2.2).
 
Cant say I would be too keen to launch into goal kickers on a 4 goal underdog team in the wet. Would want to pick the eyes out of it
1. I don’t believe that this Sydney side with their outs should be 4 goal favourites.

2. The players that represent great value in this game are Hogan(Matchup,form,odds,scope) and Toby(odds are well overs) for the reasons outlined in detail in previous posts in this thread. No one is recommending doing freestyle goal trains on every Giants forward.

3. I don’t personally believe that this game will be Samson Ryan level wet but even if it is wet I don’t think that it will be the be all end all factor. If it is wet it could even make it harder for Sydney to protect their undersized defence by dropping players back in a team defence fashion because they will be reluctant to take players out of the contest in a heavily contested wet weather game for fear of being killed in the middle, which they did indeed against Geelong.

Indeed. Plays in front, hard to move, strong hands. I don’t think any Swans defender has the bulk to move him.
 
Hawkins/Cameron train anyone? Laverde is out, so.... should be a fun time for all (except for Essendon fans wanting a win).

I’ve just gone the exact same multi I did last week which cashed during the third quarter:

Hawkins 4+
Cameron 4+
Close AGS
Henry AGS
@22.76 (boosted) PB

Yep I've taken Hawkins & Cameron goal in each quarter @ $235 SB. I've had the same bet the last two rounds and they have come close. We don't have a matchup for Hawkins at the best of times and this will be a bit of a makeshift backline. Could see it getting very ugly.

brent daniels had his best game last week kicking 4.1 - with some of the sydney backline still in doubt, it would be rude not to have a go at him at these odds

2+ $4
3+ $11
4+ $50
