Hawthorn Hawks Firm Again In AFL Premiership Betting

After all the dust has settled with the completion of round 1, Hawthorn have firmed further to win the flag, now into $3.40 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

$3.40 is shorter than any price Collingwood, the former favourites, have been since the market opened in early January. The Pies have drifted from $4.00 to $4.25, while Geelong has remained steady at $5.50 despite their round one loss to Fremantle.

St Kilda have drifted from $26 to $41 after their upset loss to Port Adelaide, while Carlton, West Coast, Fremantle and Adelaide have all firmed following their wins over the weekend.

“The Hawks moved straight to $3.75 favourites after their Friday night win. But following further interest in them by punters over the weekend and having had a look at all the teams play at least one game, they have firmed even further to $3.40,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“A win this round against the Cats will only see them strengthen their claims of being flag favourites.”
