There’s not much happening in
the rankings this week, with one-third of the league having the week off. (Under
my system teams can still change ranking points even when not playing, as the
strength of their recent opponents is revised.)
The gap between the Adelaide Crows
and Port Adelaide at the top of the rankings has narrowed, with the two clubs
now rated about the same, while Geelong has crept closer to the top sides with
its comfortable win over the Crows.
West Coast has fallen further
into the ‘mid-range’ group of the rankings after losing to the lowly-ranked
Gold Coast Suns. Conversely, Essendon has moved closer to that group with a
decent performance on the road against the GWS Giants.
And Richmond has almost
made the long road back into positive rankings territory. Only their three
thrashings against the Swans, Giants, and Hawks in the second half of last year
are keeping the Tigers out of seventh spot.
