The interview process may still be happening but punters are already convinced that Mark Williams will be at Seaford next year, with the former Port Adelaide coach firming into $1.33 with online bookmaker sportsbet to land the St Kilda coaching job.
Williams continues to dominate the market with over 90% of bets going on him, while current St Kilda assistant coach Adam Kingsley is also beginning to attract some attention, in from $11 to $6.00 over the weekend.
Fellow Saints assistant Simon McPhee is also given some chance at $6.00 followed by Darren Crocker ($12) and Mark Harvey ($16).
“Punters are still convinced Williams will be coaching the Saints which has seen him firm into $1.33. It would take a massive upset for anyone but him to get the gig according to our market,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
