WITHOUT doubt the biggest change has come about with Geelong’s first loss of the season.  In coming up just one goal short against Collingwood, the door was opened for Hawthorn to seize top spot on the ladder for the first time this year. Geelong hasn’t fallen far, after all they’ve only lost one game, and

COULD the AFL have engineered a more compelling game for next Friday night? After both Essendon and Geelong continued in their winning ways, their Round 7 matchup at Etihad Stadium looks set to be the game of the season. Sitting one notch behind that game will be the Grand Final rematch between Sydney and Hawthorn

Five weeks in and we are starting to see some separation amongst the teams in this year’s competition but as you cast your eye over the top eight there is no more surprising team at the top end than Port Adelaide. The Power is sitting very comfortably at the number two spot and deservedly so.

WHILE we celebrate the fact that Melbourne got their first win of the season after a spectacular 12-goal final quarter, we should also remember the fact that Carlton got their first win as well in the Malthouse era.  It came later than we all expected but unlike Melbourne they have been close all year and

While Melbourne continues to languish at the bottom of the ladder, the feel-good story for this year so far has to be Port Adelaide after their comeback win over hometown rival Adelaide in today’s Showdown. Last year the Power managed just five wins, and they are three already this year. Not to be eclipsed in

SOME big games, some close games and some not so close ones. Heaps of movement on the ladder as we’d expect so early in the season but Port Adelaide remains steadfastly up towards the top with a sparkling 200+ percentage. At the other end of the ladder Melbourne has yet to crack 100 points on

ORIGINAL POST: 31 Mar 2013 at 6:39pm THE split round to open the 2013 AFL season is almost over so with one game to go we thought it may be opportune to post the ladder as it currently stands. Subject to tomorrow’s game being the tight contest that we expect, we will see Port Adelaide

OAKLEIGH Chargers co-captain Jay Kennedy-Harris was outstanding in the Chargers’ seven-point win over the Calder Cannons yesterday. Kennedy-Harris is one to watch this season considering he played an impressive role in last year’s TAC Cup grand final. He played 15 TAC Cup matches last season and appears to have continued from where he left off.

THE AFL is yet to release the updated ladder so (once again) and with  just a fraction of the resources that they have available to them, we’ve decided to take it upon ourselves to do it for them. As we all know by now Brisbane has so far made it through the competition undefeated and
