AFL Power Rankings: Round 20 2012

Collingwood move up from 5th to 3rd this week, after winning in Sydney against the #2 ranked Swans. This is the highest the Magpies have been ranked since Round 1.

West Coast continue to slide, from 7th to 9th, despite beating Geelong on the weekend, which might cause some derision of the rankings among any Eagles fans who read this. The system rated North's win over Essendon and Richmond's walloping of the Bulldogs as more impressive wins than the Eagles' narrow victory against Geelong, hence why they moved above the Eagles in ranking points. (Personally, as a Tigers fan, it gives me little comfort to see us ranked ahead the Eagles here, and be seven places below them on the actual ladder.)

1 (1) Hawthorn 46.2 (45.8)
2 (2) Sydney 29.6(31.9)
