just giving you my thoughts on were the teams are at half way through the afl season. from last to first.
18. west coast – when you think they’d be back on track they are hopeless this year 1 win against the saints in perth who are very inconsistant and not good travelling so far long way off the pace.
17. richmond – if they won yesterday would be higher they can cause problems but are too young 3 wins so far including beating the suns in a major boilover.
16. sydney – biggest sliders and while they have injuries their recent form has been dsiapopinting losing to quiute a few sides on their level.
15. north – a few weeks ago would have been 17 no doubt but they are playing a lot better one bad quarter in 5 weeks against the flag favourites drew with the regining premiers and have smashed melbourne as well but other than the dees win were hopeless till a few weeks ago.
14. st kilda – might have them a bit high but they have smashed freo and beaten geelong so got to give them some credit (even though they are the only team to lose to eagles his year) at mravel can be dangerous.
13, port – you could order 12 to 16 in any order really if you ask me i have them higher for a few early wins but really they and the swans are this years sliders.
12. carlton – another tough one but they are slightly better now.
11. essendon – any team who have won over half their games and a percentage in the 80s should be the lowest in their teir.
10. gws – a side who is way too inconsistant and yesterday proved it even though they are in the 8 i just can’t see them staying there.
9. melbourne – 6 weeks ago you’d be laughed out of the room having them this high but apart from the hawks loss they are well back on track and a dangerous side i mean they stunned the lions at the gabba.
8. freo – a week or two might have them higher playing well but tnot consistant.
7. hawthorn – a few weeks ago top 4 now not so sure but if they get players back could again be a threat but losing to two sides they have had the wood over for years in a row is a concern.
6. gold coast – still not buying into them after yesterdays loss but they are well on track for finals.
5. bulldogs – they rarely move always just in the lower half of the 8.
4. adelaide – i think htey are now certain to be back in finals and are playing quite well easily 3rd if they won in gather round against.
3. brisbane – slipping a bit but still strong.
2. geelong – quite a good side can beat anyone on the day.
- collingwood – how 2024 went so badly i don’t know they are well on track to either win their 17th flag or repeat 2011 (best side but lose to cats).
with a few of nexts weeks matches being quite influentional on the rankings i will probably update this next week with my preview of the rounds matches.
