Fremantle Dockers vs Hawthorn Hawks: Blake Hardwick Over 4.5 Marks (-204)

Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing

Blake Hardwick needs to take at least five marks for this bet to win tonight. He has been pretty consistent, averaging almost one contested mark in his last ten games. Playing at Optus Stadium, he usually sees plenty of action, especially since Fremantle gets the ball inside 50 more often than Hawthorn. Even though both teams have been winning lately, Fremantle is slightly better at getting the ball forward. One risk to watch is that Hardwick is just behind in free kicks, which can limit his chances. Still, the numbers suggest he has a good shot at getting those marks tonight.
