There’s a new team at the top of the rankings.
Last week: 4
Ladder: 6
“The Swans’ season is over in terms of finals aspirations.” That’s what I wrote in these rankings after they lost their sixth straight game to start the season – and now here they are, having just beaten the Giants at Spotless for their ninth win in ten matches. Lance Franklin is a national treasure.

Didn’t do a thing wrong in Darwin, their drop in the rankings is all about the Swans. A huge test awaits the Crows on Friday night though – the Cats have had their measure.

Ladder: 3
They’re been barely going for two months and have won just once in five weeks.

Running out of superlatives for Patrick Dangerfield. Daniel Menzel has kicked 33 goals this season, which equals the career-best mark he set last year – it’s so good to see him getting a decent run at it.

Ladder: 5
Looked lethargic early, but they flexed their muscles in the second half and ended up with a comfortable win. This week’s match-up with the Giants is huge.

Ladder: 4
Port don’t play with their food when they’re up against a bad side. Chad Wingard is averaging career-highs in disposals, tackles, inside-50s, clearances, and contested possessions.

Ladder: 7
The reinforcements are coming, but they aren’t secure in the eight just yet. The Demons really need a win.
Last week: 10
Ladder: 10
It was ugly early but then it became emphatic. Joe Daniher might be a top-10 player.

Ladder: 8
Far from convincing, but they got the win and got Josh J Kennedy back. The Eagles still have a part to play in this season.

Talk about a let-down…

Ladder: 11
It wasn’t particularly impressive, but the Dogs are in no position to be picky about their wins. That was a hell of a debut from Lewis Young.

Ladder: 13
The Hawks are playing some pretty decent footy. Please let Shaun Burgoyne play on in 2018.

That was a classic “if you didn’t know the scores” game. The Dockers blew it against the Eagles. Another Nat Fyfe-type game from Nat Fyfe though.

Ladder: 14
Healthy Daniel Wells is the Pies’ second-best player – it was good to have him back on the park. Hopefully the win stops the Nathan Buckley stories for at least a week.

Ladder: 16
For all the Blues’ improvement, scoring is still really hard for them. They’ll be OK.

Ladder: 17
Might not be the last time they cop a beating like that this year. There’s only so long a team can remain motivated when the season is lost.

Ladder: 15
The Suns are the least interesting team in the competition.

Ladder: 18
Made the Tigers work for their four points. For the second time in a month Dayne Zorko struggled to deal with a tag, he can probably expect more of that.
