FootyBets.aiSunday Slate Saviours: Bulldogs and Giants Set to Feast in Round 23
Super Sunday serves up a tantalising three-game slate to close out Round 23. We kick off under the roof at Docklands with a high-stakes clash between the Western Bulldogs and Carlton, head to the MCG for traditional rivals Essendon and Sydney, before wrapping up at Engie Stadium where GWS host West Coast. With dry conditions and high-scoring potential across the board, our AI model has identified clear targets to build around.
The Core AI Targets
Ed Richards (MID, Western Bulldogs) – Projected: 122.6 pts
Appearing in a perfect 10 out of 10 optimal lineups, Richards is the unquestioned engine room play this Sunday. His transition into the midfield has unlocked elite fantasy production, and on the fast Marvel Stadium deck, his explosive speed and pinpoint kicking will see him rack up disposals and uncontested marks at will.
Toby Greene (MID, GWS Giants) – Projected: 106.6 pts
A 100% lock across our AI builds, Greene gets an absolute dream matchup against a West Coast side that struggles to contain dynamic ball-winners. Whether pushing up through the midfield or isolating inside 50, expect Toby to hit the scoreboard heavily and post a monster ceiling game.
Kieren Briggs (RUC, GWS Giants) – Projected: 88.0 pts
Briggs features in 9 of our 10 top lineups and holds down the number-one ruck slot. His bruising stoppage work and dominant hitout profile against the Eagles' young ruck division give him a safe floor with massive contested-possession upside.
Bailey Williams (DEF, Western Bulldogs) – Projected: 93.9 pts
Williams has locked down 9 of 10 builds thanks to his role spearheading the Dogs' rebound from defensive 50. With Carlton's forward entries often providing intercept opportunities, Williams is primed to gobble up uncontested marks and rack up high-meterage gains.
Buku Khamis (DEF, Western Bulldogs) – Projected: 59.2 pts
Another 9/10 selection, Khamis provides reliable defensive presence in Bulldogs-heavy builds, reading the play well behind the ball to churn out steady intercept and tackling points.
Tom Liberatore (MID, Western Bulldogs) – Projected: 94.0 pts
Appearing in 70% of optimal builds, 'Libba' is the contested beast you need. Against Carlton's hard-nosed midfield, expect Liberatore to do what he does best: rack up tackles, extract clearances, and feed his outside runners.
Position-by-Position Cheat Sheet
- RUCK: Kieren Briggs (GWS) is the clear frontrunner to dominate stoppages, while Harry McKay (CAR) offers an intriguing dual-role pivot.
- DEF: Lock in Bailey Williams (WB) for reliable rebound, with Lachie Whitfield (GWS) lurking as the ultimate high-ceiling play against West Coast.
- MID: Anchor your core around Ed Richards (WB) and Toby Greene (GWS), with Zach Merrett (ESS) and Sam Walsh (CAR) providing premium midfield punch.
- FWD: Look to Tom Gross (WCE) for handy all-around involvement, while Aaron Naughton (WB) and Nate Caddy (ESS) provide potent goal-kicking upside.
