With the weather tipped to have an impact on the result of the game, online bookmaker Sportsbet Australia have opened several markets on what Mother Nature has in store for the MCG tomorrow!
It looks a 50/50 chance that the rain could hold off, with $1.85 priced for there to be no rain during the match while punters who think it will bucket down can also get odds of $1.85.
Sportsbet are also offering over/under disposal markets for a number of players, with plenty of interest in Sam Mitchell to get over 24.5 touches at $1.90 despite the impending tag from Ryan Crowley. Punters who think Crowley will do the job and keep Mitchell to 24 touches or less can get odds of $1.85.
Jarryd Roughead ($7.50) and Buddy Franklin ($8.50) head the first goal scorer markets, however punters can get odds of $5.50 and have both key forwards covered!
In match betting, punters continue to back Fremantle despite being $2.25 underdogs, with the Hawks holding firm at $1.68.
“Question marks over the weather has seen punters continue to come for Fremantle. But all of the big bets have been on the Hawks. It’s been such an interesting betting game with punters really split on how it will go,” said Sportsbet’s Shaun Anderson.
In good news for punters, if their team scores 80 points or more but losses the Grand Final, Sportsbet Australia will refund their head to head bet.
