With their finals hopes all but gone after drifting from $6.00 to $12 to make the top 8, the Crows are $2.10 underdogs.
“Having the Power win both showdowns would have paid huge odds at the start of the season, but with a spot in September up for grabs, we are expecting punters to show them a heap of support,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
While neither of these teams will be pressing for the finals, there is still plenty on the line in the GWS v Melbourne match, with the Giants ($2.10) tipped to remain winless as Melbourne are $1.70 favourites.
In premiership betting, Hawthorn have firmed to their shortest price yet of $2.75, with the Swans and Geelong both next in the market at $3.75. After a turbulent week Essendon have been the big drifters, out from $13 to $21 to win the flag.
And while Port Adelaide currently have the 8th spot on the ladder, Carlton are more fancied to play in September, priced at $1.50 to make the final 8 compared to the Power at $1.65.
