FootyBets.aiShinboner Slaughter: Cracking the North vs Richmond DraftStars Slate
Sunday arvo footy under the roof at Docklands sees North Melbourne clash with Richmond in what shapes up as a massive fantasy points fest. With a fast deck and ideal conditions, the FootyBets.ai projections are telling a brutal story: the Roos are set to absolutely dine out on the Tigers, making a heavy North stack the ultimate play of the day.
Here’s why our AI is absolutely loading up on the Shinboners:
Harry Sheezel (MID) Locked into 100% of our optimal builds, Sheezel is a DraftStars cheat code. He is a genuine ball magnet; expect him to rack up 30+ touches and a mountain of uncontested marks as he links up through the middle and dictates the pace of the game.
Luke Davies-Uniacke (MID) Riding shotgun in the guts, LDU is projected to comfortably smash the ton. He’ll feast on centre clearances, burst out of packs, and lay the heavy inside tackles needed to push his score into the premium bracket.
Paul Curtis (FWD) Finding a reliable forward can be tricky, but the AI loves Curtis today. He thrives on elite forward-half pressure and hitting the scoreboard, so back him in for a couple of snags and solid tackling numbers inside 50.
Luke McDonald (DEF) Appearing in 9 of our top 10 lineups, the veteran defender is primed for a busy afternoon. He is the perfect candidate to mop up across half-back, inflating his score with cheap uncontested marks and rebounding kicks.
Position-by-Position Quick Tips
- DEF: Luke McDonald is your reliable anchor, but don't sleep on Charlie Comben for strong intercept marking upside.
- MID: It's a Roos party. You want Sheezel and LDU, but Jy Simpkin and Dylan Stephens are fantastic, high-ceiling secondary targets to round out your midfield.
- RUC: A quirky slate! Veteran Jack Darling carries handy RUC status—take his forward-ruck goal upside, or look to Cooper Trembath to do the traditional tap work.
- FWD: Pair Paul Curtis with Cam Zurhaar to completely corner the market on North Melbourne’s forward-50 entries.
