Australian Rules Football: ZakPRB AFL Check Marks 6.18

Welcome to ZakPRB AFL Check Marks 6.18. 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.

Check marks and exes:

My apologies for the lack of follow up last week. Posted some information in Discord. My province decided to open up things way before expected, so instead of putting my efforts into AFL, it went to training to return to work. However balance has been restored so let’s make some money!

Hawthorn Hawks (+145) vs Richmond Tigers (-187) over/under 132.5 (-112)

The Richmond Tigers had a dreadful start in their last game against Carlton, and battled back for the very odd 36-36 draw. The last time those teams had tied was back in 1999, so a strange result indeed! Hawthorn struggled as well last week, however their struggles continued throughout the contest, as they were defeated 108-47. The last matchup between Hawthorn and Richmond ended in a 95-59 victory for the Richmond Tigers. A 36 point victory. So far through two rounds, the Hawks have an average points for of 68.5 and an average points against of 85. Compare that to the Tigers who have an average points for of 70.5 and points against of 58. DraftKings has the handicap points spread set at 9.5 (-112).

My consensus for this match is to take Richmond on the points spread at -9.5 (-112) and hedge with Richmond on the money line (-195).

Injuries and outs:

Hawthorn Hawks: Harry Morrison

Richmond Tigers: Dustin Martin, Liam Baker

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:

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.
