Tom Hawkins Makes Bid Bid For Glory In Coleman Medal Betting

Buddy Franklin may still remain as the $2.75 favourite for the Coleman Medal, but support has come for Geelong forward Tom Hawkins, firming from $17 to $12 over the weekend with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Amazingly, Hawkins opened at $51 to win the Coleman in early January and was once as long as $81 in February.

“He has carried on his form from last year’s Grand Final and he has shortened after every round so far this year,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“Buddy is still the one they want, but while guys like Nick and Jack Riewoldt and Josh Kennedy are drifting, the market shows that Hawkins is a real contender.”

In Brownlow betting, Gary Ablett continues to firm, in from $8.00 to $5.00 after another brilliant game in round 3.
