When it comes to finding value in footy betting, sometimes you've got to dig deep into the stats to uncover hidden gems. Jonty Faull might not be the first name that springs to mind when you think of goal-kicking machines, but hear me out on this one. Sure, his recent form hasn't exactly been lighting up the scoreboard, but against North Melbourne's defense, there's a glimmer of hope.
In his last five away games, Jonty has been getting looks at goal, averaging 2.2 shots per game. With his goal accuracy hovering around 14.7%, all it takes is a couple of those shots to split the middle, and we're on our way to cashing in. Plus, with an average of 1.4 marks inside 50 and 3.6 score involvements, he's getting in the right positions to snag a goal.
North Melbourne might not be the toughest nut to crack defensively, so at those odds, backing Jonty Faull to snag at least one goal feels like a smart play.
