A : EXACT MARGIN
B : FIRST GOALSCORER OF THE MATCH
C : JACK OATEY MEDAL

Very unlikely to have a winner of all 3
However , there will be bragging rights for anyone who picks 1 or more winners

My predictions
25 Points
Josh Hone
TOM Lewis


I think ST will win by 25 , keeping GL at arms length during the game
I reckon the 3rd inside 50 that ST have the ball will spill off hands and Josh to snap the first goal of the match
TOM Lewis to get this seasons double the Magarey MedAL and the JackO MedAL

At least 6000:1

A specific point margin in aussie rules is generally considered a 60:1 shot (Ie: bookies offer between 50 and 67s for a draw for example).
First goal scorer odds generally range from about 8s through to quite long.
Short priced favorites in norm smith betting are still usually 8s+.

Giving 60, 10 and 10 gets you 6,000:1

Now, you could counter with an argument that these events have a degree of dependency, ie: if a certain team wins, then a player from that team is more likely to pick up the medal.
Similarly, if they win by a big margin, and the medallist is a forward, the odds that that player also kicked the first goal shorten somewhat too.

In saying that, the odds the bookies offer are also shorter than they should be, so the true odds are longer.

With all that in mind, I would suggest 6,000:1 is a fair assumption of the likely odds of getting all three.
