Dylan Shiel’s declaration that he wants to play for Essendon in 2019 and beyond has seen their flag odds firm from $13 into $11 today with TAB.
Richmond remain the $5 favourites ahead of Collingwood ($8), Melbourne ($8), West Coast ($8) and GWS ($9).
“The trade has still got to get done, but Shiel is exactly what the Bombers have been missing. After their trading efforts last year, he could be what they need to work themselves back up the ladder,” said TAB’s Shaun Anderson.
