Sydney has a meeting with the AFL’s only undefeated side at the MCG tomorrow night, but it has not stopped the Swans being one of the best-backed teams with TAB this week.
The Swans have tightened from $4.00 into $3.40 head-to-head against Melbourne, which has been $1.23 out to $1.30, while one punter plonked $5000 on Sydney to win the premiership at $21.
Hawthorn has been another firmer through weight of money, backed from $3.00 into $2.50, against West Coast ($1.37 to $1.52), while Gold Coast has trimmed up to $1.77 from $1.90 against St Kilda ($1.90 to $2.05).
Brisbane opened $1.50 against Fremantle, but that was when the game was to be played in Perth, with the Lions now $1.20 following the transferral of the match to Brisbane. The Dockers were $2.50 out to $4.40 after the venue change and the $1.90 line, which was initially 10.5, is out to 29.5 points.
