GUN SYDNEY Swans midfielder Luke Parker has edged in front in AFL.com.au's Brownlow Medal predictor, but hot form from Luke Shuey and Dustin Martin sees them close behind.

Parker leads with 19 votes after polling two in the Swans' Friday night victory over Geelong.

Cats midfielder Patrick Dangerfield was quelled after an 18-disposal first term and did not feature among the game's top-three players. He shares second place with Shuey, on 18 votes.

While Dangerfield's superstar status means he continues to reign as CrownBet's raging favourite to win the award at year's end – he was at $2.20 on Monday morning – Shuey and Martin are chasing hard.

Shuey has registered eight votes in the Eagles' three straight wins.

At odds of 50-1, he represents real value for punters. Those who jumped on with the bookmaker after round nine would be even more excited, when Shuey was listed at $101.

Martin had similarly blown out after nine rounds. Richmond had won just three times and the bookmaker was offering $81 for the 25-year-old.

On the back of three best-on-ground efforts in his last four contests, Martin has shortened into $8.50 – on the fourth line of betting behind Dangerfield, Daniel Hannebery and Joel Selwood.

The Tigers were valiant in defeat against the premiership-contending Western Bulldogs on Saturday night, and Martin was at the forefront, racking up a season-high 38 disposals.

With 17 votes, Martin is level with Adelaide's Rory Sloane in fourth spot.

And when it comes to putting money on the line, it's hard to look past the person in the lead on the predictor, especially when he is at $14.

That is where Parker sits – on the sixth line of betting.
