AFL Power Rankings: Round 4 2013

RISING UP

Geelong had fallen as far down as 9th in the rankings as of Round 16 last season, but finished the season off strongly, bar the final against Fremantle. This year, it has crept up further, and with its win in Sydney it is now the #2 ranked team behind the Cats' nemesis, the Hawks. Not bad for a team that many thought had peaked in 2009.

FALLING DOWN

The West Coast Eagles drop further after losing at home to the #11-ranked Carlton. If you entirely discounted the big win against Melbourne (which of course, the rankings do not) the Eagles would not be ranked within the top 8.
