Paul Hasleby has delivered his AFL power rankings for both clubs and players in the wake of Round 3.
From a team perspective, the former Fremantle star is taking into consideration how they performed last year as well as their form in 2023.
Hasleby will update his power rankings every Tuesday on SEN WA’s The Run Home.
Hase’s club power rankings
5. St Kilda
Last week: X
“A good start, 3-0. Play Gold Coast this week, could be 4-0.
“If they do navigate that then we can start to consider them inside the top four power rankings.”
4. Sydney
Last week: 2
“Sydney have slipped.
“Big concern now for them at the MCG. Two games in a row they’ve been blown off the park.
“They play the SCG really well but you’ve got to win premierships at the MCG.”
3. Carlton
Last week: 4
“Patty Cripps back to his very best.
“They’ve got the two-pronged attack, which is not really working at the moment. Charlie Curnow has had a good start, but Harry McKay has really struggled so far.
“But you’d rather have two (gun forwards) than none.
“They’re in a pretty good position.”
2. Melbourne
Last week: 3
“Melbourne move to number two.
“They’re now (equal) premiership favourites.”
1. Collingwood
Last week: 1
“Massive game for Collingwood this weekend.
“I have in fact tipped against them. They play the Lions at the Gabba.
“Without a ruckman, after three good wins, Brisbane up against the wall, I think they’ll respond.
“But I think Collingwood are playing a great brand. It’s not about now, it’s about what happens later in the year.
“All the other teams are playing catchup in the way that Collingwood are playing.”

Hase’s player power rankings
Hasleby’s player list is put together via a rolling system based on history and what they’ve done in the past, as well as current form.
This week he has a top six.
6. Nick Daicos (Collingwood)
Last week: 6
“Another 33 disposals, he’s the one that is setting it up for Collingwood.
“So consistent.”
5. Christian Petracca (Melbourne)
Last week: 5
“Welcome to season 2023, Christian Petracca.
“Been waiting for him to come. He had 33 disposals and will start kicking goals.
“He and Oliver together are a great combination.”
4. Luke Davies-Uniacke (North Melbourne).
Last week: 4
“He was a late out and he can’t go down because of that.
“Hopefully he’s back this week.
“He could be higher but you’ve got to do it for a period of time. You can’t just base it on two games.
“But I did love what he did towards the back-end of last year.”
3. Marcus Bontempelli (Western Bulldogs)
Last week: 3
“I’ve copped some criticism on social media about this, but he had a poor start.
“Likewise to Petracca, welcome to season 2023, Marcus Bontempelli.
“He was my number one a few weeks ago but has slipped down to three.”
2. Jeremy Cameron (Geelong)
Last week: 2
“He’s still at two even though his team is losing.
“He’s playing unbelievable footy. He’s taking up what Tom Hawkins is not doing, picking up the pieces.”
1. Clayton Oliver (Melbourne)
Last week: 1
“Number one and the outright favourite for the Brownlow Medal.
“He remains in that position. 25 disposals, two goals, and is doing well with the coaches votes.”
