There will be a few people sitting around, saying quite simply: "Wish I'd got him at 1000-1!"
BARLOW POISED TO CAUSE BIGGEST BROWNLOW SHOCK OF ALL TIME
First season player Michael Barlow continues to be the surprise packet of the season with the Docker now into third pick at $11 for the Brownlow Medal at Sportingbet Australia.
Barlow wasn’t even in Sportingbet’s Brownlow market before the season but punters have been knocking down the door to back him since round two.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said a first season player winning the Brownlow would be up there with the greatest shocks he had seen in his years as a bookie.
“He would have been at least $1001 before the season but to be truthful we hadn’t even heard of him,” Sullivan said.
“After round two we put him in the market at $151 and punters have been knocking each other over to get on.
“He was $15 last week and after another brilliant game on the weekend, we have seen plenty of smart money come for him again this week and we have had to shorten him up again.
“He is only behind Gary Ablett and Luke Hodge in our market and ahead of blokes like Brendon Goddard, Chris Judd, Dane Swan and Jimmy Bartel.
“A first year player winning the Brownlow would be up there with the greatest upsets I can think of but he looks a genuine chance.”
Ablett retains favouritism in Sportingbet’s market at $4.00 ahead of Hodge at $9.00 and Barlow at $11.

Will Hayne defect from NRL to AFL?
It's no secret certain circles of the AFL have their eye on Jarryd Hayne, but would he go? And how many other big budgets are available. The price bar has been set fairly high.
This is a great market for the bookies, because chances are high that some no-name rugby league hack who played a little bit of AFL at school will be picked up on the cheap. After all, if the AFL can double the salary of someone with limited future in the NRL, why wouldn't they go? And the bookie cleans up!
WHO WILL DEFECT NEXT?
Greg Inglis is the $3.00 favourite in a Sportingbet Australia market to be the next NRL player to follow Karmichael Hunt and Israel Folau to AFL.
Inglis’ Storm teammate Billy Slater is on the second line of betting at $3.50 and Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the Storm salary cap woes made them the two most obvious targets.
“Inglis and Slater are both freaks and would be brilliant at any sport so they are two obvious targets for AFL,” Sullivan said.
“The fact the Storm need to wipe around $1m off next season wages means they could very well be open to offers for one of their stars.”
Other players in Sportingbet market include, Jamal Idris, Jarryd Hayne, Josh Dugan and the Morris brothers, Brett and Josh.
“The AFL obviously have their sights set on the best young talent in the NRL, with Brad Scott the latest coach to target them and the list of players we came up with are the obvious targets,” Sullivan said.
“We are more than happy to quote prices on any other player and if no one defects by the end of 2011, we will refund all bets to punters.”

AFL club implicated in Melbourne Storm drama?
The plot thickens:
AFL WOODEN SPOON BETTING SUSPENDED
Online bookmaker Sportsbet.com.au has suspended AFL Wooden Spoon betting amid speculation an AFL Club may be implicated in the Melbourne Storm salary cap saga.
Several punters placed bets on St Kilda to finish last in 2010 shortly before betting was suspended, with odds ranging from $5001 to $1001.
“One punter placed a bet of $110 on the Saints for the Wooden Spoon to win $110,000,” said Sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane.
“Like everyone we think and hope there is nothing in it, although as we’ve seen in the past 24 hours, stranger things have happened.”
St Kilda is currently second in AFL Premiership betting with Sportsbet.com.au at $4.50.
