After racking up 36 disposals for the Brisbane Lions against the Western Bulldogs last Saturday night, Lachie Neale is now the $1.60 favourite at TAB to win the 2020 Brownlow Medal.
Neale is now the shortest-priced Brownlow Medal favourite in TAB history after 11 rounds since Gary Davies kept records in 1998.
Nat Fyfe was $1.75 after Round 11 when he took ‘Charlie’ home in 2015 while Gary Ablett was $2.20 after 11 rounds when he was victorious in 2009.
Before Round 16 in 2014, Gary Ablett was $1.60 until he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury while Anthony Koutoufides was $1.80 before Round 20, 2000 until he injured his knee and was ruled out for the remainder of the season.
A couple of Neale’s challengers have shortened in recent weeks with 2017 winner Dustin Martin $26 before Round 9 and now $9 while Travis Boak shortened from $17 to $12 after Port Adelaide’s 21-point victory over Richmond at the Adelaide Oval last Saturday night.
