WHILE 2012 Brownlow medal runner-up Trent Cotchin has been put up as the opening favourite for next season, Fremantle's Nat Fyfe is the buzz player.

Fyfe played just 10 full games this season yet still polled an eye-catching 13 votes, placing him on target for a top-three finish had he not required shoulder surgery.

Sportingbet Australia reacted according when releasing its opening market today, installing Fyfe as a $10 third favourite behind Cotchin ($8) and this year's winner Jobe Watson ($9).

"We are happy to risk Gary Ablett at $10 simply because it does not appear he can poll enough votes while playing for a side that won't win many games,'' said Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan.

"Alternatively, Fyfe appeals alongside Cotchin and Patrick Dangerfield ($12) as one of the next big things in the game.

"The other thing with Fyfe is we have already taken early bets on his team Fremantle for the flag suggesting punters think they will win more games.''

The best value may well be Carlton's Marc Murphy, who polled 11 votes in an injury riddled season after collecting 19 in 2011, and Collingwood's Dayne Beams (19 votes in 2012).

And did you see our opening odds to win the flag 26 to 1 come on we really should be around the 50-60 mark and make it worth wild to the punters to have a bet early we missed the finals haven't played finals for 10 years haven't won a flag for 32 years but were 26/1 come on

Ok way out there wacky train of thought?  What would you trade Cotchin for?  I mean every player has a value, what is his? 2 first round picks and a second round? 3 first round?  Chris Judd and a first round?
