Due to illness, the Power Rankings are really late this week. And as such, I won’t add comments to every team (actually I did, just not too long in some cases). I will shake things up with a new team at the top. I think the Saints have done enough with their play and structure through the first three games to deserve the top billing. They have to continue the form to keep it though! Bad kicking is bad footy and Geelong have kicked badly this year with more behinds then goals. This cost them the Grand Final this year and is something that they have to improve. I know this is minor but it is there!

| Okay, 10 was probably too hard but didn’t expect the win V North. Having said that more injuries mean Port are a big chance this week | ||||

| If they lose this week to the Dees, I may remove them from the ranking! Should win, if they don’t look for the “you know what” not to hit the fan, but the door step at Punt Road! | ||||
