When it comes to backing a player prop in the AFL, you want a solid blend of skill and opportunity. Jack Crisp of the Collingwood Magpies fits the bill perfectly for Friday's clash against the Western Bulldogs at the MCG. Crisp has been a reliable ball-winner, averaging 9.4 handballs per game with a model edge suggesting he's primed to surpass the line of 7.5 set by the bookies.
Playing away might seem like a hurdle for some, but Crisp has shown the ability to step up on the road. With the Magpies looking to control the midfield battle, Crisp is likely to be in the thick of things, racking up possessions and distributing the ball effectively.
In a game where every possession counts, backing Crisp to go over 7.5 handballs is a smart play backed by data and game dynamics.
