AFL Power List - Round Seven: Or I know even less than nothing.

A tipsters nightmare this week.

I have to say I like Monday Night Football. But then again, I have Foxtel so I get to see it live instead of on delay at 8:30pm. One can only hope once TV goes fully digital, such treatment of audiences will be a thing of the past (I know I am being far too wishful).

The Premiership Table is a tale of 3 acts. Act 1: Cats and Saints. Act 2: The rest; Act 3: The Tigers and Demons.

	Rank	LW	Team	Record	Comment
	1	1 ↔	Geelong	7-0	The Cats did enough, and won’t be worried about facing North this week.
	2	2↔	St Kilda	7-0	Boom! These guys are the real deal. Bring on Round 14…
	3	7↑	Bulldogs	4-3	After a tight first half, the Bulldogs kicked 10 of the next 11 goals to blow away the Crows. They now meet the hapless Demons.
	4	5↑	Port Adelaide	4-3	Port started playing too late; fortunately they now play a demoralized Tigers.
	5	4↓	Hawthorn	3-4	The Hawks will be left wondering what might have been had they kicked 8.1 in the first quarter and not 1.8.
	6	3↓	Carlton	3-4	Bizarre. Fev was having “one of those Fev type days” (and not the good kind). The Blues just couldn’t get their nose in front. Huge game against the Pies this week.
	7	8↑	Brisbane	4-3	After a tight 3 quarters the Lions kicked away from the Tigers and now get to host the Crows, who don’t really like the Gabba.
	8	6↓	Collingwood	3-4	Ouch. That hurt. The Pies were shown to be pretenders. Need to beat Carlton to win back some respect.
	9	11↑	Essendon	4-3	The Bombers continue to annoy tippers. They now have 9 days to get ready to play the Saints, who will be coming off a 6 day break.
	10	10↔	Sydney	3-4	They were never going to win and even they knew it (Barry Hall certainly did). Must beat West Coast this week.
	11	9↓	Adelaide	3-4	Whatever Neil Craig might say, there’s no denying the Crows are in a rebuilding year – and all the bad things that means.
	12	14↑	Fremantle	3-4	A damn good win for the Dockers who have turned it all around in 3 weeks. Now they host the confused Hawks.
	13	15↑	North Melbourne	3-4	Well I didn’t see that one coming. Though I can’t see them kicking so straight for the rest of the season. Geelong to give them a touch up this week.
	14	13↓	West Coast	3-4	Again poor kicking nearly cost the Eagles; but the Demons are not good enough to take advantage.
	15	12↓	Richmond	1-6	Well that’s the season done. Whew – for Tiger’s fans that makes a nice change to being strung out for 21 weeks only to be disappointed in the last week.
	16	16↔	Melbourne	1-6	The Demons nearly snatched a rare one in Perth, now that meet a Bulldogs team coming off a strong win.
