Adelaide has moved even further
ahead on the rankings following Carlton’s loss to Melbourne on the weekend. The
Crows are now rated as one goal per game better than their nearest rival, who
is… well, that’s not clear. Carlton, Brisbane, and Melbourne are rated at basically
the same level now – in fact Brisbane and Melbourne have exactly the same
ranking points. The Lions however, given that they are undefeated and have a
great percentage, are the clear favourites to meet the Crows in the Grand
Final.
Indeed the only thing
holding Brisbane back from second spot is that people ranked them (okay I
ranked them, but it was based on the premiership odds at the time) so
lowly to begin with. Hurling
People Now has called the Lions ‘a well-oiled machine’, noting that they have had a low number of
disposals and low number of inside 50s, but have been remarkably efficient
when they go forward. Or perhaps they have been a bit lucky?... We'll find out more when they take on the Crows next week.
