Richmond gun Trent Cotchin is the new favourite to win the Brownlow medal, in from $4.50 to $4.00 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to be equal favourite with Gary Ablett.

Ablett has held firm at $4.00, while Jobe Watson has drifted from $4.00 to $6.00.

Adelaide pair Patrick Dangerfield ($11 into $8.00) and Scott Thompson ($10 into $9.00) have also firmed, as has Sam Mitchell in from $21 to $16.

“Cotchin has been the big mover over the last month, however Ablett has had more money and more bets placed on him that anyone else,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“Punter support for Watson towards the end of the season has been virtually nonexistent, while punters don’t seem concerned that Dangerfield and Thompson could take votes off each other, both firming this week.”
