Paul Hasleby has delivered his AFL power rankings for both clubs and players in the wake of Round 13.
Hasleby will update his power rankings every week on SEN WA’s The Run Home.
Hase’s club power rankings
5 – Brisbane
Last week: 4
4 – St Kilda
Last week: X
“St Kilda is probably next for mine.
“They’re playing some good football against the better teams. They did drop one to Hawthorn who might take a few scalps on the way home.
“The Saints beat Sydney at the SCG last week.”
3 – Port Adelaide
Last week: 2
“You cannot dismiss them right now.
“Their travelling record is up there with the best in the competition.
“They still don’t get too many games at the MCG, but I’m watching them to see how they go over the next few weeks.”
2 – Melbourne
Last week: 3
“I’m watching Melbourne.
“I thought they would beat Collingwood, they play well at the MCG.”
1 – Collingwood
Last week: 1
“There’s a little bit of a watch on Collingwood for mine.
“I’m not sure they’re going as well as everybody believes.
“They played North Melbourne and won by 35, they were horrible for three quarters against West Coast and ended up playing well in the last quarter.
“Then they were very disappointing against Melbourne. That should have been a 10-goal loss on face value when you look at the goal kicking that Melbourne delivered.”
