Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has Sydney as the $1.47 favourites to bounce back against Adelaide ($2.47) next week and win through to a preliminary final clash with Geelong.
Hawthorn are also expected to get back on the winners list as $1.45 favourites against the Western Bulldogs, who are $2.75 outsiders despite their courageous victory over West Coast.
GWS are the big movers in premiership betting, coming in from $8.00 to $3.25 after earning the week off. Cross-town rivals Sydney have drifted from $3.00 out to $6.50.
“GWS have gone from $51 outsiders to second favourites to win the flag and it looks like they’ll be hosting the Hawks in a massive prelim final at Spotless,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
