FootyBets.aiSaints and Giants Set to Sizzle: Your Sunday Round 14 DraftStars Blueprint
Round 14 wraps up with a fascinating Sunday double-header, starting with Richmond taking on the Brisbane Lions at a chilly Bellerive Oval in Hobart, before we head under the roof at Docklands where St Kilda host GWS. Expect the fast track at Marvel Stadium to trigger some massive fantasy scoring, while the Tasmanian weather could turn the opener into a gritty, contested battle. Our FootyBets.ai model has crunched the numbers, and we've got the key targets you need to build a winning roster.
The Heavy Chaff: Who You Can't Afford to Miss
- Jack Sinclair (DEF, St Kilda | Proj: 109.9): The absolute cornerstone of Sunday's slate, appearing in 10/10 optimal lineups. Back at his favourite hunting ground, Sinclair’s elite rebound and precise kicking off half-back make him a near-lock to sail past the ton.
- Jack Macrae & Campbell Lake (MID, St Kilda): Our AI is heavily stacking the Saints' engine room, with both Macrae (projected 76.3) and young gun Lake (projected 69.9) appearing in every single optimal lineup. They provide a rock-solid floor for your midfield build.
- Conor McKenna (FWD, Brisbane Lions | Proj: 58.1): A sneaky 10/10 lineup lock. McKenna’s run-and-carry off half-back, combined with his forward eligibility, makes him the perfect link player against a rebuilding Tigers outfit.
- Toby Greene (FWD, GWS Giants | Proj: 87.7): Appearing in 90% of optimal lineups, the Giants' talisman thrives on the fast deck at Marvel. Expect him to find plenty of the footy further up the ground and hit the scoreboard hard.
- Marcus Windhager (MID, St Kilda | Proj: 83.2): Featuring in 8/10 lineups, Windhager’s dual ability to win his own ball and apply suffocating pressure ensures a healthy diet of tackles and contested possessions against the Giants.
Position-by-Position Quick Tips
- Defender: Lachie Ash (GWS). Projected at a massive 107.7 and appearing in 40% of lineups, pairing Ash with Sinclair gives you a powerhouse defensive pairing with unmatched ceiling.
- Midfielder: Lachie Neale (Brisbane). The dual Brownlow Medallist is projected for a slate-high 108.2. If you want pure, unadulterated ceiling, Neale roaming around Bellerive Oval is as good as it gets.
- Ruck: Sam Draper (Brisbane). Appearing in 50% of our optimal lineups with a projected 78.1, Draper represents the most reliable, balanced option to anchor your ruck division on Sunday.
- Forward: Toby Greene (GWS). Don't overthink this one—Greene is the premier forward option on the slate and is primed for a massive afternoon under the roof.
