Paul Hasleby has delivered his AFL power rankings for both clubs and players in the wake of Round 8.
The Fremantle great has a top four this week with a few clubs to watch.
Hasleby will update his power rankings every week on SEN WA’s The Run Home.
Hase’s club power rankings
The clubs to watch: “I have got Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs as the big watch sides to come into the top four.
“Then St Kilda just drop a little bit because of that ugly (winning) performance against North Melbourne."
4. Brisbane
Last week: 4
“Brisbane at 4.”
3. Melbourne
Last week: 2
“They drop on the back of their disappointing performance.
“I know they won against Gold Coast, but with a few umpiring decisions either way they could have easily lost that game.”
2. Collingwood
Last week: 3
“Collingwood I have bumped up from third to second.”
1. Geelong
Last week: 1
“Last week at number 1 I had Geelong, so they were the big jumper.
“They played good again. I still think they are the team to beat.”
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.
The ones to watch: “Darcy Parish deserves a mention as do Zak Butters and Connor Rozee, and Tom Green is the other one I’m watching.”
6. Charlie Curnow (Carlton)
Last week: 6
“Curnow remains at 6.”
5. Nick Daicos (Collingwood)
Last week: 3
“Daicos drops down to 5 after two quieter weeks.
“He’s playing a team role which is fantastic to see, but perhaps we bumped him up a little too quick over the top of some of those big names.”
4. Christian Petracca (Melbourne)
Last week: 4
“Christian Petracca stays at 4, but is catching and making ground on Oliver.”
3. Clayton Oliver (Melbourne)
Last week: 2
“Clayton Oliver drops to number 3.”
2. Marcus Bontempelli (Western Bulldogs)
Last week: 5
“Marcus Bontempelli is the big mover.
“He jumps to number 2. He’s always around the mark and I still say that he’s the best player in the AFL with all of his attributes.
“He’s got everything.”
1. Jeremy Cameron (Geelong)
Last week: 1
“Cameron maintains his number 1 ranking.
“But he hasn’t been the same player he was in the opening five rounds.”
Co-host Damian Martin also provided his power rankings.
