The Suns travel to Sydney to take on the inform Swans, at a ground in the SCG that has provided them with some of their better memories over the years. This should be a competitive game with the Suns always dangerous with their amount of talent and the always respected Swans looking to keep their September dreams alive.

The Three Legs of the Same Game Multi:

1. Gold Coast Suns (Adjusted Line) +31.5: I anticipate that the Gold Coast Suns will keep the match tight throughout. The team is well-known for its exceptional abilities, especially in their midfield. I have a strong belief that their midfield will outperform the Swans and cause significant damage. Sam Flanders, emerging unexpectedly as an impressive addition to the Suns’ engine room, has enabled Touk Miller to return to his tagging role. As a result, I predict that Miller will be assigned to the highly impressive Errol Gulden. This would mark the first time the exceptional midfielder has been tagged, and such a situation typically poses challenges for those who have not encountered it before. Given Miller’s capability to shut down players like Lachie Neale, I believe he will handle Gulden effectively. Additionally, the presence of the immensely talented and impactful duo, Noah Anderson and Matt Rowell, solidifies the Suns’ midfield as one of the strongest in the game. Despite the Swans’ recent form and mental strength, playing against a young side that experiences inconsistency in travel and has no significant motivation, they are likely to secure the victory. My expectation is a closely contested match, and I favor the Suns with an additional margin added to the handicap line.

2. Touk Miller UNDER 28.5 Disposals: Expanding on my previous point regarding Miller’s tagging role, it’s evident that his primary focus won’t be accumulating disposals in this match. While Touk Miller is undoubtedly capable of reaching this disposal count under normal circumstances, I don’t believe the market has fully adjusted for his tagging assignment. This oversight, in my opinion, adds value to this multi.

3. Tom Papley 1+ Goal: This selection serves as an appealing addition to the Same Game Multi. Tom Papley is renowned for his goal-scoring prowess, even though his goal output has slightly declined this year due to increased midfield responsibilities. The primary reason for his shift to the midfield has been the numerous injuries sustained by the Swans in that area. With the midfield contingent now back in action, Papley is expected to spend more time in the forward line. In a game where the Swans are favored to win, I can easily envision Papley scoring at least one goal, if not more.

These three components combine to offer odds of $3.10 for the Same Game Multi
