2015 AFL Power Rankings: Round 4

Almost a month in, league starting to take shape.

  1.  (1)  {4} Sydney - Freo tough test, Dogs will be right up there as of now.
  2.  (4)  {1} Fremantle - Should be a walk in the park at Domain.
  3.  (2)  {7} Hawthorn - Premiers of 2014 need to get back in form.
  4.  (5)  {13} Port Adelaide - Showing potential with upset of round, but is it a facade?
  5.  (3)  {9} Richmond - May have underestimated Dees, chance to rebound against struggling Cats.
  6.  (6)  {11} Essendon - Another year on the wrong side of ANZAC clash with Pies.
  7.  (9)  {10} North Melbourne - Brad the better of the Scotts currently, but still inconsistent.
  8. (10) {3} Collingwood - Rivalries always good means of getting four points.
  9. (11) {2} Greater Western Sydney - Shows the improvement is better with the slightly newer AFL club.
10.   (8) {5} Adelaide - Flying start halted, shot by hunters and fetched by Dogs.
11. (12) {8} West Coast - Flying high at the Gabba, rising into the eight.
12. (13) {6} Western Bulldogs - New look, new attitude paying off at present.
13.   (7) {16} Geelong - No where near Premiership quality of late 2000s.
14. (15) {14} Carlton - Mick saves his hid for another week.
15. (16) {12} Melbourne - It's early, but do the Dees have a finals push in them?
16. (14) {18} Brisbane - Heading for the quicksand.
17. (17) {15} St. Kilda - Missed opportunity before tough test next week.
18. (18) {17} Gold Coast - Next week's Q-Clash a must win for Suns at the Metricon.

Kick After the Siren: All five birds are hovering near the top and in the eight.

2015 NLL Power Rankings: Week 17


1. (1) Edmonton – Minnesota gave them an adrenaline rush. Signal of weakness?
2. (3) Rochester – Did anyone really expect them to lose to New England?
3. (2) Toronto – Division rightfully to be theirs.
4. (4) Colorado – Still likely to host Calgary.
5. (6) Buffalo – Good momentum may be what's necessary to beat KHawks in playoffs.
6. (5) Calgary – By week may be important for playoff purposes.
7. (7) Vancouver – Showed why they are last in league defense.
8. (9) Minnesota – Might not finish dead last in division.
9. (8) New England – Talk about a knock-out punch.
