I feel like
taking the week off writing something detailed this week.
An odd thing I
noticed about the rankings though: nearly all of the Victorian teams are rated
higher by my rankings than they are on the current AFL ladder. Which means of
course that nearly all of the non-Victorian teams are rated lower.
Three of the top
five sides on the current ladder are non-Victorian: West Coast (second), Port
Adelaide (fourth), and GWS (fifth). On my rankings all of the top five sides
are Victorian.
There's no Victorian
bias in the
rankings formula! (At least not intentionally …) And in some areas of the
rankings the teams are all pretty close together anyway. But maybe the rankings
suggest that teams like Melbourne, Hawthorn, and Geelong - currently filling
out the bottom three spots in the top eight - are more within striking distance
than you may think.
