Premier League Power Rankings
1. Southern Tigers (last week: 1)
You guessed it - they were lucky again! No Ivory Young for the Panthers but the Tigers still handled them quite easily. For the record, I do think the Tigers are a good team, but just have had an easy trott - even against good teams they've been fortunate to play them less than full strength. Still, they're a reasonable side and I look forward to seeing them match up against Norwood Saturday.
2. Norwood Flames (3)
Got on top of North last round and managed to keep Starling in check. Kennedy finally got rolling and showed his worth off the bench. Could be the deepest squad in the league.
3. West Adelaide (4)
Regrouped nicely after the scare against Mavs. Seem to be rolling along and will resume favourtism once West resumes playing.
4. North Adelaide (2)
Fell short against Norwood and fighting to get consistent contributions from more than Starling. Still a dangerous team who can beat anyone.
5. Forestville (5)
Rolling now despite DJ not suiting yesterday. Might be back on the weekend? Who knows. Either way Doyle and Teys are enough to keep them in check.
6. South (6)
Hard to move them down after playing 74 of the last 80 minutes with just one import available. Will need a good showing vs Forestville to stay here.
7. Centrals (8)
Move up a spot after pushing Forestville for a half. Another team who needs everyone on board to be competitive.
8. Woodville (7)
Would be disappointed not to have pushed West a little harder. Need both imports firing to compete with the finals bound teams.
9. Eastern (9)
Proved me right last week with a hard fought win over Sturt. Rios with another 38, can't be ruled out for MVP and I maintain the lack of Aussie talent is all that's holding these guys back. Their imports are legit.
10. Sturt (10)
Seems like they sent Garth packing and still fell short against the hapless Mavs. While Garth we no doubt a poor import perhaps they need to look internally to find the root of their problems!
Anyone have any nominations or selections for POTW?
