So, Essendon 14th, then? That seems about right. I probably over-estimated them last week when I said 7th to 12th.

Probably 5th or 6th after this weekend. Certainly seems like they should drop, but I'm not sure which teams could possibly replace them.

Ah, well I guess there's the key difference. I'd probably agree with you within that framework, though I might still put them a little higher. They were pretty competitive against us.

Round 7:

1. Hawthorn
2. Port Adelaide
3. Geelong
4. Collingwood
5. Fremantle
6. North Melbourne
7. Sydney
8. Essendon

9. West Coast
10. Richmond
11. Gold Coast
12. Adelaide
13. Carlton
14. Western Bulldogs
15. GWS
16. St. Kilda
17. Melbourne
18. Brisbane

Top 4 remains pretty settled, though there's little gap between us and Fremantle. North stay in 6th despite their surprising loss to the Suns while Sydney and Essendon swap places. I'm starting to think that that's probably going to be the top 8 at the end of the year (with West Coast possibly displacing Essendon). Can't really see any of the teams from 10-18 making it, good performances from Richmond and Gold Coast this weekend notwithstanding. I'm starting to think that the Bulldogs will be this year's North Melbourne, constantly losing close games against better teams.

Gold Coast are presently 5-2. They just beat North by seven goals in Melbourne. Their next three games are; StK, WB & Adel. Not inconceivable that they may be at 8-2 (or at least 7-3).
I don't think it was surprising that GC easily beat NM. We also made them look decidedly second rate. I really don't think NM are that good. Somewhere between 8-12 in my humble opinion.

wb are playing some good footy. they just cannot close out games. north are simply inconsistent, dropping games they supposedly shouldn't. ess were ordinary for the majority of the game on saturday night and made to look second rate.
