News Lance Franklin is expected to sign with the Swans has sent Sydney fans into a frenzy with punters unloading on them to win the 2014 premiership.
“Sydney firmed from $7 into $5 to win next year’s flag within an hour of the news breaking,” Centrebet’s Michael Felgate said.
“A soon as GWS tweeted they were out of the race the punters jumped on the Swans.”
“Sydney will have the most potent forward line in the competition so it is no surprise to see punters backing them. They could be outright favourite by the time season 2014 starts if the money continues and they have a good pre-season,” Felgate said.
Hawthorn remains equal favourite for the 2014 premiership at $4.50 with Fremantle. Sydney and Geelong are on the next line of betting at $5.
