Melbourne’s upset win over Adelaide spells bad news for the Lions according to online bookmaker sportsbet, with Brisbane now $1.62 favourites to claim the wooden spoon.
Regardless, punters are still getting on the Saints to finish on the bottom, with St Kilda the best backed team at $14.
In other notable betting movements:
- Sydney v Hawthorn: Buddy or no Buddy, punters are tipping the Hawks will still come out on top in this one, with three times the money on them at $1.44 over the Swans at $2.90.
- Port Adelaide v Fremantle: Port are the real deal, that’s what punters are thinking anyway, with all of the early money coming for them at $1.58 with the Dockers $2.30 outsiders.
- Brisbane v Essendon: No early trends in this one, with punters not really keen on either team.
- Melbourne v Western Bulldogs: The Dees may be on a roll, but punters still aren’t convinced, with five times the money coming for the Bulldogs ($1.44) to get the win.
- West Coast v GWS: Punters are giving the Giants ($7.40) a real chance in this one, with more money for them than the Eagles ($1.08).
- Schulz Coleman smokey: Jack Gunston and Jarryd Roughead are equal $7.00 favourites for the Coleman, but its Jay Schulz who is attracting interest. He was $26 at the start of the year and is now into $9.00.
- Brownlow: Gaz keeps on shortening, he is now into $2.75 for the Brownlow!
- Lions new spoon favourites: With Melbourne pulling off an upset win, the Lions are now favourites to ‘win’ the wooden spoon. But the Saints are still the best backed at $14.
