The West Coast Eagles are now outright favourites to win the flag for the first time, into $5.00 from $5.50 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.
Collingwood have also firmed back into contention after their upset win against Adelaide, into $5.50 from $6.50.
After being favourites since the market opened, the Hawks have drifted, out from $3.85 to $5.50.
“The Hawks have been favourites since day one and were really well backed by the punters early. But there has been virtually no interest in them recently, with punters seemingly having run out of patience,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
The Eagles were priced at $14 when the market first opened and got out to $21 after the injury to Mark LeCras.
“Quite a few punters jumped on the Eagles when they got out to long odds before the season started, and will no doubt be happy to see them having shortened after every round.”
After their win on the weekend, Richmond have firmed from $2.80 to $1.50 to make the top 8, while GWS are still firm favourites at $1.55 to win the wooden spoon ahead of Gold Coast ($3.50) and Melbourne ($5.00).
