The team on the other side of the curse, Geelong, have firmed after their thrilling win over Hawthorn, in from $4.25 to $3.75 while defending champions Sydney also remain in the hunt at $5.00 followed by Fremantle ($9.00).

After pulling off an upset on Friday night, Collingwood have also firmed from $17 to $12.

“Everyone would love to see if the curse continues if the Hawks and Cats were to meet in September. We still have the Hawks as favourites, but the gap is certainly shortening as far as punters are concerned,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

With Jobe Watson sidelined due to injury, his odds to win the Brownlow have blown out from $6.50 to $34.

Dane Swan ($16 into $8.00) and Sam Mitchell ($21 into $12) have been the big movers over the weekend, with Gary Ablett remaining the favourite at $1.90.

West Coast’s Josh Kennedy has moved into favouritism for the Colemen Medal after firming from $4.50 to $3.25, however his team are $2.25 outsiders to beat Fremantle ($1.58) in the derby this weekend.
