He had 39 touches over the weekend and punters are tipping Dane Swan will pick up where he left off this round, the best backed player with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to win the Anzac Day Medal.
His odds of $8.00 have caught the early eye of punters, while favourite Jobe Watson also hasn’t been missed at $6.00.
Despite having won it twice, punters are steering clear of Scott Pendlebury ($8.00), while the recent form of Michael Hurley has seen him attract plenty of interest at $18.
Match betting suggests the Bombers won’t be relying on David Zaharakis to kick a last minute goal this time around, with Essendon clear favourites at $1.42 to beat Collingwood ($2.80). Punters think the odds are spot on, with more than seven times the money bet on the Bombers in head to head betting.
“Swan was back to his best last week but even if punters get this one right and he gets the medal, all the money says we will be seeing the Bombers fly up,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
