Luke Dunstan and Lachie Hunter now find themselves as equal $10 favourites to win the Rising Star award after firming from $26 over the weekend, while punters are tipping the Tigers will get their first win of the year this Thursday when they face Carlton.

In other betting movements since the weekend:

· Richmond v Carlton: The Tigers will get some revenge of the Blues according to the betting, with almost double the money bet on them compared to Carlton.

· Essendon v Hawthorn: Essendon’s upset win over the weekend has seen them firm from $3.30 to $2.80 against the Hawks. But punters aren’t convinced, with virtually all of the money coming for Hawthorn.

· St Kilda v GWS: This game is now a toss of the coin, with the Saints coming in from $2.40 to $1.90. However, there has been double the money on the Giants at $1.85.

· Port Adelaide v Adelaide: Not much to report in this one. The Power have drifted slightly from $1.70 to $1.72 and practically all the money has been on them.

· Fremantle v Gold Coast: No movement in the betting but there has been some interest in Gold Coast despite their big odds of $7.00.

· Sydney v Collingwood: The market suggests Sydney will win but punters don’t agree, with money even in this one despite the Pies being $2.80 outsiders.

· Brisbane v Geelong: No change in this price. Has been double the money on the Cats so their price could shorten.

· Melbourne v West Coast: Things have gone from bad to worse for the Dees, who have drifted from $3.30 to $5.50. There has only be a handful of bets placed on them.

· Western Bulldogs v North Melbourne: Not a lot of love for the Bulldogs in this one, but they have firmed slightly from $3.10 to $3.00.

· Dees for spoon: Melbourne are now the favourites to win the wooden spoon after losing to St Kilda, firming from $4.00 to $2.10

· Roughead Coleman favourite: Jarryd Roughead is now the outright favourite for the Coleman after firming from $9.00 to $6.00 over the weekend. He is also now the best backed player ahead of Jack Gunston and Travis Cloke.

· Watson firms for Brownlow: His best on ground performance has seen him firm from $12 to $8.00 and is second favourite behind Ablett at $5.00.

· New Rising Star favourites: They may be set for long years, but St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs have something to look forward to, with Luke Dunstan and Lachie Hunter now equal $10 favourites to win the Rising Star award.
