After Matt Rowell opened up the season as a near unbackable favourite, after sucumbing to injury once again, he has drifted, leaving the door open for the Sydney youngsters who have now stolen the show.
Errol Gulden ($3.50) has put together two blinders in the opening rounds, while Braeden Campbell ($5) has also impressed with his nomination for round two.
Logan McDonald does not look far away from his nomination, sitting on the third line of betting at $7.50.
Matt Rowell is eligible for the 2021 Rising Star as he will be aged 20 or under on January 1 (Rowell turns 20 on July 1 next year) and has played ten or fewer AFL games, now sitting on the fourth line of betting at $11 while Tom Green and Tom Powell also acompany him on the $11 line.
Number One draft pick Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has been starring in the seconds, but the Dogs are just a little tentative to play him up straight away, but one would think he will debut by round 10. He sits on the $13 line.
