Teammate title battle

-

TIGERS Dustin Martin and Trent Cotchin are first and second heading into the grand final in the race for the best player of the 2017 finals series.

Brownlow medallist Martin received eight Gary Ayres Medal votes in the Tigers’ huge preliminar­y final win over GWS, with captain Cotchin securing seven, the pair moving to 17 and 15 votes, respective­ly.

Martin is the odds-on favourite at $1.40 to take out the award – but his inspiratio­nal captain was best-on-ground against the Giants.

Cotchin is at $4.50.
