Hawks still flag favourites

Despite having only broken even so far this season, Hawthorn still remain flag favourites at $4.00 with online bookmaker Sportsbet.

Carlton are next in the market at $5.00 despite the weekend’s upset loss to Essendon, while the West Coast Eagles have been the big movers in from $15 at the start of the season to now $5.50.

Geelong have been steady at $6.50 while Collingwood continue to slide, out from $6.50 to $7.00.

The Sydney Swans have also caught the attention of punters, into $17 from $21.

“Hawthorn have dropped two games but they have only been by a few points and against quality opposition. They still hold more money to win than anyone else so they continue to be flag favourites, at least for the time being,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“Strong interest has come for the Eagles over the past few weeks and according to the punters, there is plenty of teams in with a chance to win it.”
