Dockers best backed team to win AFL flag!

Fremantle has been sensationally backed with Centrebet to win its first AFL flag!

Weight of money has seen the Dockers firm to $7.00 second favourite (from $9.00), ahead of Sydney ($7.50) and chasing premiership fancy and bitter rival West Coast ($4.75).

“Punters feel the Dockers’ time has arrived. They’re the best backed team in the outright book,” Centrebet’s media chief Neil Evans said. “There’s been sound money too for the Swans, and some for the Bulldogs and St Kilda, but Adelaide has been the big drifter out to $9.00 (from $7.50).

In this weekend’s NAB Cup final, punters have rallied late for Carlton ($1.82) after the early money came for Brisbane ($2.00), while in early Brownlow Medal betting, Fremantle’s Matthew Pavlich ($17.00) has been the best backed ahead of Sydney’s Adam Goodes ($13.00).

Unless West Coast implode $4.75 probably isnt to bad !!!

The Dockers have a genuine home ground advantage, that is something that in time some of the Victorian sides will wish that they had not so easily given up, sides visiting the house of pain are going to do it tough this year giving the Dockers a good shot at the finals!

House of Pain????

Come off it - The Dickers had one okay season. This is not a dynasty and anyone who thinks that it is will be shown to be very much mistaken, real fast

[Snaggletooth Tiger]

The Wizard's 6 match suspension may or may not hurt 'em!
With a gun like Pavlich kicking bags... probably not!

Yes, it's a misleading headline when the Eagles are quoted at $4.75 and the Dockers $7.00! They mean that the Dockers have taken the most money in bets but this still hasn't been enough to shift the Eagles from outright favourites.

[Dutchy]

Another fraud....can get $5.70 Eagles and $8.60 Freo on Betfair...when will people learn?
