Alistair Clarkson is now the outright favourite to be Adelaide’s next coach with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au following statements made today by Andrew Jarman.

He is into $1.45, the shortest any potential coach has been in the market.

Remarkably, he was seen as a massive outsider early on, priced at $41 when the market first opened.

Nathan Bassett and Stuart Dew remain next in the market at $7.00 ahead of Brendan Bolton and Mark Thompson at $10.

“Jarman sounded very sure in his declaration and there is no doubt Clarkson would be perhaps the most sought after coach, so the market suggests he’ll swap a Hawk for a Crow,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
