Betting movements:
- Sydney v Hawthorn: The Swans have shortened from $2.90 to $2.75 on the back of the news that Buddy is playing, but punters don’t care, with the Hawks the best backed team of the week.
- Port Adelaide v Fremantle: All the money is for Port in this one who have firmed from $1.58 to $1.52.
- Brisbane v Essendon: Punters could care less about this game, with virtually no money bet on either team. Given their recent results, you can’t really blame them for staying away.
- Melbourne v Western Bulldogs: The money is now even in this one, with the Demons attracting plenty of interest at $2.95.
- West Coast v GWS: Punters aren’t giving GWS ($7.60 out to $10) much of a chance in this one, with the Eagles clear $1.07 favourites.
- St Kilda v Calton: St Kilda have been identified as value in this one at $3.40, with the money coming in seven to one in their favour.
