Australian Rules Football: ZakPRB AFL Check Marks 6.11

Welcome to ZakPRB AFL Check Marks. I have loved this sport since I first saw the Grand final while I was traveling on a bus tour throughout Europe with a clan of Australians. With the holdout in North America, I couldn’t find a better time to deeper look in into the world of footy! If you are wondering how this game is played, I have written a North American Guide to AFL that can be found here. Let’s drop the ball on today’s action. All lines are from Draftkings Sportsbook.

Welcome back AFL! We will be taking a bit of a different look at this column as we will be adding some players for DFS interest as it is now playable on Draftkings! Fantastic news! Let’s take a look at the Thursday Slate.

Collingwood Magpies (+130) vs Richmond Tigers (-162) (Thursday June 11 5:40am EST)
These two teams are two of the top scoring team in the league. The last match these two teams met, the final score was 98-66 in favour of the Richmond Tigers. In their first match of the season, Collingwood had an impressive outing with a 86-34 win. Their defense will have to be up to the same task who face last year’s top scoring team in the Richmond Tigers. Richmond came away 105-81 win themselves in week one bringing back their goal scoring prowess from the previous season. I believe the outcome of this game will come down to which defense is up for the challenge. As good as Collingwood’s defense was in the opening round. I don’t think they will be up to the same task against the High flying Richmond Tigers.

Betting advice: I will be taking the Richmond Tigers at -7.5 (-112) and the over 139.5 (-112) for the game total. | DraftKings

Draftkings DFS notes:
As this is brand new to North America there isn’t much information on players. However we do have a points system and player layout.

How does AFL scoring work?
Lineups will consist of 9 players scoring points based on the below:

Players	Scoring
Forwards 2	Goal +6 Pts
Midfielders 4	Tackle +4 Pts
Defenders 2	Kick +3 Pts
Ruck 1	Mark +3 Pts
	Handball +2 Pts
	Hit Out +1 Pts
	Behind +1 Pts
	Free Kick For +1 Pts
	Free Kick Against -3 Pts

Now that we know the point structure, let’s look at some of the DFS plays that will hopefully give us an edge. Just to note, there is only 4 players on the bench so even though the lock is in the middle of the night, you should have a pretty good chance that the normal starters will start.
