<p>Tom Atkins represents strong value for the Cats after his impressive preliminary final performance.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Both players present excellent betting opportunities given their current form and price points in the Norman Smith Medal market.</p>
