Tom Atkins represents strong value for the Cats after his impressive preliminary final performance.
Tom Atkins delivered 24-25 disposals and double-figure tackles against Hawthorn, establishing himself as Geelong's second-best performer. The midfielder's defensive pressure and ball-winning ability make him an attractive proposition at over $20 odds, particularly if matched against Brisbane's Will Ashcroft or Lachie Neale.
Zac Bailey offers compelling value for Brisbane since transitioning to full-time midfield duties. His recent form shows 23 disposals per game and more than 1.5 goals since the positional switch. Despite being available at $51 before the finals series, Bailey remains at double-digit odds and brings Grand Final experience from his standout 2022 performance.
Both players present excellent betting opportunities given their current form and price points in the Norman Smith Medal market.
