The AFL Power Rankings after Round 10 are in, and it's a fascinating look at the league's top teams. Sydney Swans are at the top of the ladder, but the real story is the rise of Fremantle Dockers, who are now ranked second. The Dockers have been on a roll, winning nine of their last ten games, and their 'long game' mindset is paying off. The Swans, meanwhile, are one of just two teams in the Premiership Window, but they face a big challenge against Geelong Cats this weekend. The Cats are trending in the right direction, and they could be the Swans' biggest test yet. The Lions are outside the Premiership Window, but they still have the league's second-best offence. The Hawks are struggling defensively, and the Dees are a force to be reckoned with, but they're not in the Premiership Window yet. The Bulldogs are 'clinging to 10th', and the Magpies are the hardest team to rank. The Saints are just two attack ranking spots away from the window, and the Tigers are in a rebuild state. The Eagles are powered by an inspirational Harley Reid, and the Roos are past a quarter/performance like that on Saturday. The Blues are enjoying a rare win, and the Bombers are under pressure. The Suns are just one of two teams in the Premiership Window, and the Giants are in a tough spot. The Crows are coming from a solid foundation, and the Kangaroos are past a quarter/performance like that on Saturday. The Power is having the best 'look impressive but don't actually win too many games, for draft reasons' season I've seen in a long time. The Tigers are in a rebuild state, and the Eagles are powered by an inspirational Harley Reid. The final rankings are a fascinating look at the league's top teams, and the story of the season is the rise of the Dockers.
