Shiell Firms In Rising Star AFL Betting

After being this week’s nominee for the Rising Star award, GWS’s Dylan Shiel is looming as a real contender to win the award, firming from $7.00 to $5.00 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

In addition to firming into second favouritism, Shiel has easily been the best backed player with punters, attracting almost three times the money compared to current favourite Mitch Wallis ($3.80).

“He has been well backed since the market opened and now he officially has a nomination, we expect his price will continue to be crunched and he could even be favourite by the end of the season,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

Shiel’s GWS teammate Tom Bugg has also firmed from $15 to $10, while Stephen Coniglio has drifted from $7.00 to $12.
