David Swallow favourite for 2011 AFL Rising Star
Leading online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has opened the first markets on the 2011 AFL Brownlow Medal and Rising Star award.
Recent number one draft pick David Swallow is the $2.50 favourite to be next year’s Rising Star, while three-time Copeland Trophy winner Dane Swan is the early Brownlow favourite at $10.
“All reports indicate David Swallow is a worthy recipient of the number one pick and if he can remain injury free he’ll have a mortgage on the Rising Star award,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane.
“Dane Swan won just about everything else this season and just before this year’s Brownlow count he was the shortest-priced favourite in over a decade. Surely the umpires can’t miss him again next year?”
Sportsbet.com.au has instilled Collingwood as the $3 outright favourite to win the 2011 AFL Premiership, with St Kilda ($5) and Hawthorn ($9) the only other challengers with single figure odds.
