FootyBets.aiStack the Saints: St Kilda vs Richmond DraftStars Masterclass
The Saints and the Tigers clash under the roof at Docklands this Sunday, and if our FootyBets.ai models are anything to go by, it’s going to be one-way traffic. Richmond will be desperate to make a statement, but St Kilda’s running game on the fast Marvel Stadium deck sets up a daily fantasy goldmine. Expect plenty of uncontested ball, massive disposal counts, and a Saints-heavy leaderboard.
Here’s a breakdown of the core players dominating our AI's optimal builds:
Bradley Hill (MID) Locked into 100% of our optimal lineups, Hill is built for the Docklands track. His elite outside run and carry translates to a mountain of uncontested marks and easy disposals, making his 92.5 projected points look like a conservative baseline.
Jack Sinclair (DEF) Appearing in 9 of 10 builds, Sinclair is the absolute general across half-back. He’s our highest projected scorer at 108.9 points. The bloke is a pure fantasy pig, racking up high-volume touches, intercepts, and rebound 50s.
Rowan Marshall (RUC) Marshall (9/10 lineups) brings that elite "ruck-pig" energy. He doesn't just win the tap-work; he gathers around the ground, clunks intercept marks, and tackles like an extra inside midfielder to guarantee a massive score.
Cooper Sharman (FWD) Sweeping all 10 lineups, Sharman is the key to unlocking the forward line. With the Saints expected to dominate inside-50 entries, look for him to rack up marks on the lead and hit the scoreboard heavily.
Dougal Howard (DEF) A staple in 100% of our builds. Howard provides an incredibly reliable fantasy floor through intercept marks, spoils, and cheap switch-kicks across the defensive 50.
Position-by-Position Quick Tips
- RUC: Do not overthink it—lock in Rowan Marshall. He is the standout big man on the slate.
- DEF: Jack Sinclair is your ceiling play, while Dougal Howard is the ultimate foundational piece to anchor your backline.
- MID: Bradley Hill provides the outside run, but pair him with Marcus Windhager for that inside grunt, clearances, and heavy tackle count.
- FWD: Target the Saints' scoring barrage by pairing Cooper Sharman with Liam Henry, who will push up the ground for extra touches.
