Four games of footy this Saturday, with Geelong looking to bounce back against North Melbourne, while Carlton and St Kilda headline the night slot.<\/p>\n
The Lions have an outstanding record at Marvel Stadium dating back to 2019.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ve covered the line in 12 of their last 14 at the venue, with the only misses coming in their two losses.<\/p>\n
Essendon\u2019s forward structure is weakened with Kako and May out, and they\u2019re already leaking scores defensively. Hard to see them keeping this close.<\/p>\n
This shapes as a breakout opportunity for Duursma.<\/p>\n
He attended 73% of centre bounces last week and finished with 25 disposals.<\/p>\n
The number one pick has hit 20+ in four of his last five games and should find plenty of ball against a depleted Richmond side.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Sullivan returned from injury last week and went straight back into the midfield.<\/p>\n
He attended 76% of centre bounces and is averaging 23 disposals across his last three games.<\/p>\n
Expect him to run with Bailey Smith and be around the contest all game.<\/p>\n
Higgins is putting together a strong season with 16 goals so far.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s kicked 2+ in five of his last six games, including nine across the last two weeks.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s also kicked multiple goals in his last two games against Carlton.<\/p>\n
