As if Eddie McGuire wasn’t already grumpy enough, his worst nightmare looks a decent chance to come true, with online bookmaker sportsbet pricing the Swans at $31 to win the flag, Brownlow and Coleman this year.
Now priced as the stand alone favourites for the flag after firming from $3.50 to $3.00 over the weekend, Buddy Franklin’s six goal haul has also seen him shoot to the top of Coleman Medal favouritism at $2.75.
And Josh Kennedy’s 41 possession game hasn’t gone unnoticed, with the onballer now the equal $3.50 favourite to win the Brownlow alongside Collingwood’s Scott Pendlebury.
“If Eddie is kicking up a stink about the COLA and Academy now, I wouldn’t want to be around if the Swans are able to come away with every major prize this year. it looks a good bet, the only safer bet will be if Eddie’s head actually explodes if they can pull it off!” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
