Joel Selwood is the new favourite with online bookmaker sportsbet to win the Brownlow Medal, but punters remain convinced that Nat Fyfe will poll the most votes on the night.
With another best on ground performance, Selwood has firmed in from $6.00 into $4.00 to be equal favourite alongside Josh Kennedy who has drifted from $3.50 to $4.00.
But Fyfe remains the best odds to get the most votes, with punters jumping on the $3.00 offered since being BOG against Carlton on Thursday night.
Amazingly Gary Ablett remains in the hunt at $7.00
“Punters have snapped up the $3.00 we are offering for Fyfe to get the most votes. We aren’t surprised, we have Fyfe just behind Ablett for the most votes with four games to go. But Selwood is making a late surge and could be the real winner. He polled well last year and he is now the best backed player overall,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
In other AFL betting news:
- Hawks firm: Sydney remain the $3.00 favourite to win the flag, but the Hawks have firmed after smashing the Dogs, in from $3.50 to $3.20. Regardless, the Swans remain the best backed team.
- Saints spoon: St Kilda can start thinking about who they want to pick up with the number 1 pick in the draft, now into $1.50 to win the spoon.
- Pies finals bound?: Collingwood’s season isn’t done yet, firming from $2.35 into $1.40 to make the finals.
- Crows blow it: Adelaide’s upset loss could cost them a finals spot, out from $1.35 to $2.40 to make the finals.
- Rough chance for Coleman: Jarryd Roughead’s six goals has seen him move into Coleman Medal contention, in from $18 to $4.00.
