AFL GRAND FINAL BETTING UPDATE

Looking ahead to the Grand Final, Ablett is also favourite to take home the Norm Smith Medal for best on ground at $7, ahead of St Kilda skipper Nick Riewoldt at $8.
In premiership betting, Geelong opened at $1.80 on Sunday morning, was into $1.71 by Sunday afternoon and has tightened since into $1.62. “We took a bet this morning of $170,000 on the Cats at $1.71,” said Lane. “It’s amazing the Cats have shortened this far in two days. At this rate, the Cats could well be $1.50 by game day. “Every big bet we’ve taken on the Grand Final since last weekend’s matches has been on Geelong. “St Kilda, who led premiership betting markets for the majority of the season, has drifted from $2.05 on Sunday morning to $2.30 and is unwanted at this stage.”
